Myles Thorpe grew up on the family farm, where he became passionate about agriculture, always knowing where his career path would take him. He bought his first ¼ section at the age of 17, and has been invested ever since!
Today, Myles operates Thorpe Ag Ventures, a grain farm in the Spy Hill, Sask area, about an hour SE of Yorkton.
Myles completed a degree in Agriculture from the University of Saskatchewan, and following that, worked in the Ag industry for nine years in various sales, management and financial lending roles. These combined experiences have given him the drive to maximize the efficiency of all aspects on his farm, especially its most vital assets, land and water.
Myles is the president of Saskatchewan Farm Stewardship Association. SaskFSA advocates for progressive land and water management policy driven by agriculture landowners and supported by the citizens of Saskatchewan. Whether it is by traditional surface methods, or by tile drainage, responsible and organized land and water management is vital to the success of individual farms, communities and the province. The importance of land and water management is often over looked. Myles advocates for SK farmers and the benefits of a well-designed land and water management plan as he knows first-hand the economic and agronomic benefits.
