Auctions of Saskatchewan crown lease land are once again on hold.
Auctions were set to open Oct. 7 and close Oct. 28 after not being held for two years.
However, premier Scott Moe announced Oct. 3 they would not go ahead.
According to the government, the land slated for sale was previously leased agricultural land that had either been surrendered or the lease cancelled.
It was to continue to be used for farming.
The ministry says it will review other approaches to ensure the vacant crown land is used for productive purposes.
This could include leasing some of it, as well as short-term permitting.
The agriculture ministry said it has heard from individuals who are still concerned, so more consultation will take place.
