Event Description

Join to learn about Farm Management Canada's new National Farm Leadership Program designed for busy farmers and ag professionals who want to improve their personal and professional effectiveness.

Few of us consider our own leadership as a competitive advantage. However, research shows that leadership impacts every dimension of performance, including the well-being of the leader and those they work with. Canada already has some of the best farm managers in the world; increasing our leadership effectiveness is the next step to stay on top.

Kelly will highlight the benefits of focusing on leader effectiveness and unique program features that help farmers identify the critical development areas that will have the greatest impact on their personal and professional lives and help build the capacity to achieve more of what matters.

Kelly Dobson is a certified executive coach, fourth-generation farmer and Chief Leadership Officer for LeaderShift Inc.

Future of research, regulations among topics discussed during Federal Ag Minister's visit to Saskatchewan

Federal Agriculture Minister Heath McDonald kicked off a two-day visit to Saskatchewan Tuesday with a stop at the University of Saskatchewan. McDonald toured the Western College of Veterinary Medicine and afterward met with industry stakeholders. The discussions were focused on research with 16 representatives participating in the discussions, both in-person and virtually. The federal government received heavy criticism for plans to close seven Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada research facilities across the country. These include a major Research and Development Centre at Lacombe, Alberta, satellite research farms at Scott and Indian Head in Saskatchewan, as well as Portage la Prairie, Manitoba. The planned closures are part of broader federal budget cuts. Farmer organizations and research scientists have been lobbying to keep the facilities open by looking at alternative measures. MacDonald is listening to what they are saying. "When these closures started, the discussion, it was

Ag in the Classroom connects Indigenous youth with agriculture opportunities

Ag in the Classroom is working with First Nations to inform young people about the opportunities available in Agriculture. An event was held last Wednesday at the University of Saskatchewan that was attended by more than 200 grade 8 to 12 students -- some travelling more than four hours to get to Saskatoon. "The idea behind this event was to bring Indigenous youth from across the province to the College of Ag and Bioresources and begin to explore agriculture and food sovereignty and hopefully get inspired to consider how they could be a part of either agriculture as a career in their future or different initiatives that might be taking place now or in the future in their community." explained Sara Shymko, Executive Director of Ag in the Classroom Saskatchewan. One of the guest speakers was Cadmus Delorme. While Delorme was Chief of the Cowessess First Nation, there was an agricultural revival, with more than 5,000 acres now being farmed. "They don't necessarily farm exactly the sam
