The Most Important Decision of The Year. How do you approach it?

The most important decision of the year.



Despite the fact that many corn producers have yet to finish corn harvest, the corn seed sales season for 2010 has officially begun.



If you are like me, there is something a bit disconcerting about sales calls hunting seed orders for next year when I am so far behind on this year’s harvest. My thought process is, let me get the crop off, consider the performance of this year’s seed choices, and then we’ll talk about next… Continue

Do you want biotech wheat?

Do you want biotech wheat?



Two weeks ago I wrote about my hopes for the next phase of biotech traits for agriculture. Since then, grower and processor organizations representing Canada, U.S. and Australia have come forward to indicate they are actively advocating for genetically modified wheat.



Earlier efforts to bring GM wheat with herbicide tolerance to the marketplace failed miserably. Importing nations, end users and consumers put a quick stop to this initiative a few… Continue

Interest Rates - Where From Here?

Interest rates – where from here?



Nothing sharpens management skills like a mortgage. For most producers, debt is an inescapable part of the business. In fact, it’s possible that knowing how to manage and optimize debt may be at least as important as agronomy and productivity considerations.



For agriculture, the silver lining to a global recession in outside markets is historically low interest rates. The temptation to take advantage of cheap money is very strong. For crop… Continue

Mid-Season Corn/Soy Review

Mid-Season Review



For corn and soybean growers, the calendar says we are well past the mid-season mark, but in many parts of corn/soy country, the crops didn’t get the memo.



With late planting and cool weather from spring through the end of July, it’s a race to the finish line for many corn and soybean fields. The “F” word – frost – is starting to pop up in farmer conversations and with market analysts trying to get a handle on whether we are headed for bumper crops and… Continue

Let’s Grow Canada Joint Initiative: Staking a Claim for Agriculture in the Government Mandate

CCA joined other national agricultural organizations to write an open letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney outlining the opportunities of Canadian agriculture as an economic growth sector. We all look forward to opportunities to work with the government to assure Canadian agriculture is an economic priority. “The Canadian Cattle Association is proud to join with other national agricultural organizations in calling on the Government of Canada to make Canadian agriculture an economic priority. There is a lot of opportunity to work together to see economic growth for the beef cattle sector, diversify our trade, and build a profitable and sustainable industry for farmers and ranchers now and in the future. The world needs more Canada and working together we can grow the herd, and the Canadian economy.”

Butchery Team Canada at the 2025 World Butchers’ Challenge

Earlier this year, Alberta Pork had the honour of serving as a regional sponsor for Butchery Team Canada at the 2025 World Butchers’ Challenge (WBC), held March 30–31, 2025 in Paris, France.
