Farm description

At ASK Agriculture, we believe farming is more than just a job, it’s a way of life. Owned and operated by Shelley and Kevin Gunn, we’re a commercial grain operation located in the heart of western Saskatchewan. We farm over 9,000 acres with a deep commitment to sustainability, innovation, and environmental stewardship, all while investing in what matters most—our people, our land, and our community. We believe in big-picture thinking, bold leadership, and a shared future where your success is our success. Whether it’s through innovative leadership, smart agronomy, or team collaboration, we’re proud to feed the world from right here at home. As our Farm Labourer, you’ll be a hands‑on part of the daily operations that keep the farm running smoothly. You’ll work closely with the Farm Manager and team to support production excellence, maintain equipment, and contribute to a safe, efficient, and positive work environment.
