Conexus’ Ag Grow Fund is designed to help agricultural producers in Saskatchewan “save money and reinvest in their operations,” the credit union said in a media release.

Discounted interest rates, no application fees, and no age limit restrictions are additional benefits, Conexus said.

“Conexus is dedicated to empowering ag producers to achieve what matters to them,” said Garnett Volk, Conexus’ chief growth officer. “We have designed this fund specifically for Saskatchewan producers and their operations.”

Ag Grow Fund builds on existing Conexus initiatives supporting the Saskatchewan agricultural sector. Its Cultivator ag tech accelerator connects “farmers, founders, and funders” with the aim of bringing “the best agricultural innovations to Canada.” 

That endeavour is currently recruiting its fourth cohort.
