MARKETPLACE CHANGES

Another of the trends that surfaces in this year's ranking is the impact of consolidation in the credit union system. With fewer--albeit bigger--players, the overall contribution of the co-operative sector in this annual ranking has changed from the earliest versions 20-plus years ago with fewer numbers but a comparable impact in terms of aggregate revenues. Interestingly, though, the amalgamation amalgamation /amal·ga·ma·tion/ (ah-mal´gah-ma´shun) trituration (3).

(See: seisin, seizure)  the credit union movement has not surfaced in the world of the retail co-ops, suggesting this is more of a characteristic of the financial sector than anything else.

Nonetheless, much of the strength exhibited by our economy these days can be attributed to increased demand for our resources around the world. This is particularly the case for anything related to energy which has sparked global interest in our uranium uranium (yrā`nēəm), radioactive metallic chemical element; symbol U; at. no. 92; at. wt. 238.0289; m.p. 1,132°C;; b.p. 3,818°C;; sp. gr. 19.  deposits and, most recently, our heavy oil prospects north and west of La Loche n. 1.

However, as always, there are exceptions as noted in this year's ranking, where the forestry forestry, the management of forest lands for wood, water, wildlife, forage, and recreation. Because the major economic importance of the forest lies in wood and wood products, forestry has been chiefly concerned with timber management, especially reforestation,  side of the resource sector is not enjoying the same wind in its sails.

On the other hand, the long-suffering agricultural sector appears to be finding its stride this year. As always, this listing includes the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool (now Viterra Viterra is the name of a new company, the result of the merger between the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool and Agricore United.

 Exchange in late August--points to a renewal of this province's basic primary industry. And perhaps that is the most interesting aspect of the Top 100 rankings of recent years. There was a time when the prospects for agriculture, more particularly grain farming, determined the mood of the Saskatchewan business community. When farmers were happy, everyone was happy. It prompted something of a Saskatchewan economic adage--agriculture was seven per cent of the provincial GDP GDP (guanosine diphosphate): see guanine.  but 93 per cent of our psychology.

The emergence of energy and other resources as the key economic drivers has pushed agriculture off the front page and, while important to individual producers, the fate of the annual grain crop no longer sets the mood for the overall economy.

If the trend towards stronger international grain prices, despite being watered down by the high Canadian dollar, continues, we may return to the days when everyone--rural and urban alike--on coffee row talked about the amount of rain we received or an early frost, rather than the prospects for a new energy play in northwest For names and places containing the slightly longer word 'northwestern' (or variants), see .
