Event Description

Global Economic Impacts on the Farm & Ranch

Twenty-first century agriculture has many more global interconnections than ever before.  This webinar will focus on the new mega trends impacting   producers’ profitability and lifestyles.  What will be the emerging nations’ role?  What will be the economic game changers?  How can producers position themselves to capitalize on these trends?  Do high farmland values represent a credit or asset bubble?  Where is the economy heading?

Presented by: David Kohl, Virginia Polytechnic Institute

28/11/2011 Traceability - What You Need to Know & What's Happening
Businesses along the entire food chain strive hard to brand themselves as providing safe, healthy food. At the same time, public health, food safety, animal welfare, and sustainability are combining to drive the demand for food traceability as a critical tool. Transparency about the origins of food and having systems that can prove a food's origins are becoming key policy imperatives and are already mandatory in many countries.
Brian Sterling Chief Executive Officer, OnTrace Agri-food Traceability

12/12/2011 Looking Forward through a Rearview Mirror: Planning for the future
It is my thesis that if we separate the “business of farming” from real-estate ownership, a logical stepping stone is created. It is interesting that as soon as a child is born the most important lesson taught is that land ownership is sacred. Then 30 years later parents are puzzled why not only the farm child but all their children want to own land...and even worse theirs!
Merle Good, Alberta Agriculture, Food and Rural Development

Alberta Milk launches “Farm to Table” campaign to celebrate local dairy and the people behind it

Alberta Milk is proud to announce the launch of its latest campaign, Farm to Table: a celebration of Alberta’s local food culture and the hardworking dairy farmers who help nourish our province. Amidst a global backdrop of economic uncertainty and shifting trade priorities, Albertans are more focused than ever on supporting local. Farm to Table was created in response to this growing pride in locally produced food, and the people behind it. At the heart of the campaign is a short film following Alberta dairy farmer Jason Crozier and Blair Lebsack, Chef and owner of Edmonton-based restaurant RGE RD. Together, they explore the journey from farm to table, touring Crozier’s farm and connecting over their shared commitment to high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. As they explore the farm , they also enjoy a variety of dishes featuring homegrown ingredients including, of course, local dairy. The spot highlights the pride, care, and community that go into every glass of milk produced i

Major Crop Emergence Ahead of Average in Alberta but Dryness Increasing

With seeding finishing ahead of the average pace, major crop emergence in Alberta is also running ahead despite eroding soil moisture. Friday’s weekly crop report showed that 95% of all major crops had emerged across the province as of Tuesday (spring wheat, oats, barley, canola, peas). That is well ahead of the five-year average of 84% and the 10-year average of 86%.

Barley emergence, at 96%, is nearing completion, ahead of the 5-year average of 84%.
