The auction was strong, said Norm Mack with Mack Auction. Demand for good farmland in Saskatchewan is good and it s increasing in value. Mack pointed out that for a long time farmland in Saskatchewan was undervalued in comparison to other Prairie provinces, and it s finally starting to get where it s supposed to be. Our neighbouring provinces, Alberta and Manitoba, have seen higher land prices and people are starting to realize that, and that s why we see the increase of land. Also, in farming there have been some pretty good years. Farming seems to be aligned and strong in Saskatchewan and Western Canada, and therefore land is increasing in value, Mack said.
