Saskatchewan’s canola crushing dreams crushed by FCL plant cancelation
Premier Scott Moe’s ambitious plans for a robust canola industry have just hit a major snag. The Federative Co-operatives Ltd.-AGT Food plant, once poised to transform canola into renewable diesel, has seen its venture indefinitely paused.

Political wrangling and economic headwinds aside, this downturn is a potent reminder: in the world of big agriculture, even sky-high ambitions can sometimes fall flat.
