Event Description

Get in on the tough conversations

With Andrew Campbell, Fresh Air Media

We've all been there. We see a chance to set the record straight on agriculture – but it's not always easy.

Join us for a webinar that will help you feel more confident and prepared to be a stronger voice for the industry. Over these 60 minutes, Andrew Campbell will talk about the importance of using social media to foster a positive perception of the industry – and show some real-life success stories. He'll also talk about how to deal with some of the not-so-positive dialogue out there. It's not always easy, but it's important – and everyone can do it.

Wednesday, Sept. 24
11:30 MDT (1:30 Ontario time EDT)

The webinar will be available here.

You'll learn about:

  • The role social media can play in advocacy
  • How to use social media to find success
  • The role of positive attitudes and emotions in connecting with consumers
  • Anticipating and addressing tough issues or tough crowds
  • Other opportunities for positive advocacy

Andrew Campbell isn't afraid to face the toughest issues – or audiences – facing today's ag industry. Andrew is the owner of Fresh Air Media, a company dedicated to helping producers and consumers make better decisions through education and information. Andrew left the farm to pursue a career in journalism, but quickly learned that nothing beats the country. Now, he’s returned to the family dairy and crop operation as a partner, and loves nothing more than to see others in the industry become passionate about their role in feeding the world and how new technology and communication tools can help achieve success.

*If you can't join in live, a recorded version will be posted to our website on or before October 15. No registration required!

Hursh: A downward shift in fertilizer prices

War in the Middle East and the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz contributed to a rapid rise in nitrogen fertilizer values, but prices have dropped dramatically in recent weeks. Some analysts were worried that the normal price reset after spring seeding would not occur this year, but a price drop has happened quickly: There have been reports of international prices for urea, 46-0-0 moving lower, but what matters to farmers is the price locally. Up until a few weeks ago, the price of urea at farm input suppliers in Western Canada was around $1,250 a tonne. According to the Alberta Farm Input Price Survey, the lowest urea price of the past five years was just over $600 a tonne back in July of 2021. However, by April of 2022, world events had pushed urea prices to $1,350 a tonne. While prices this spring were not quite that high, they were onerous as compared to the price of grain. So where are prices right now? What would you need to pay for urea for summer or fall delivery? You cou

Two Nunavut communities strengthen access to traditional foods with new processing facilities

The Government of Canada is investing over $4.7 million on two community-led traditional food processing facilities that will help Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak residents access more local foods and strengthen food sovereignty in the region. The Government of Canada is taking action to address local food accessibility and high prices in Nunavut. That means advancing reconciliation with Inuit by investing in food systems to strengthen community infrastructure, reduce dependance on imported foods, and lower costs for Nunavummiut. Today, the Honourable Rebecca Chartrand, Minister of Northern and Arctic Affairs and Minister responsible for CanNor, announced a federal contribution of more than $4.7 million to create country food processing facilities in Gjoa Haven and Taloyoak. This includes $3,389,736 in funding from CanNor, $831,550 from Fisheries and Oceans Canada and $566,038 from Crown-Indigenous Relations and Indigenous Services Canada.
