Event Description

This year’s BCRC webinar series will cover a range of topics including record keeping, invasive weed species, and reproductive failure in the cow herd, all focused on practical, science-based information for Canadian beef producers.

Register here. You can register for as many (or all!) of the webinars you’re interested in at once. After you click the link above, be sure to scroll down to see and select for all six (6) dates.


We recommend registering regardless of whether you can attend during the date/time listed.

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers Invests $2.3 Million in New Pulse Research, Leveraging $5.9 Million in Total Funding

Today, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers (SPG) announced funding for 19 pulse-specific research projects, co-funded through Saskatchewan’s Agriculture Development Fund (ADF). SPG’s total investment of over $2.3 million was leveraged through the ADF process for a total investment in pulse research and development of over $5.9 million. These research projects are two to four years in duration and study pulse crops, including pea, chickpea, and lentil. The research will evaluate new tools for integrated pest management of insects and diseases in pulses, mitigation strategies for root rot, and  nutrient uptake in chickpeas, as well as address improving pulse flours, developing pea-based beverages, new uses for pulse starches, and optimizing on-farm research.  A complete list of projects, including researchers and SPG’s investment, can be seen below.  Rapid introgression of aphid resistance into pea elite cultivars, Dr. Tom Warkentin, University of Saskatchewan (USask) – $86,045  Integrating sus

Sask Wheat commits nearly $1.7 million to collaborative wheat research

The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat) has committed nearly $1.7 million which will support 17 research projects funded under the Saskatchewan Agriculture Development Fund (ADF) in 2025. The Honourable Daryl Harrison, Minster of Agriculture, announced the funding of all crop-related ADF projects funded through the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (Sustainable CAP) at the Saskatchewan Crops Forum today. “The funding support from federal and provincial governments for ADF projects means that Sask Wheat can focus on research priorities such as disease and insect pressure, weed management, fertilizer management, germplasm and trait development, and more,” said Sask Wheat board chair Jake Leguee. “These investments will help address growers’ concerns and improve profitability and competitiveness.” Sask Wheat’s funding includes projects identified through the ADF intake process and funded by Sask Wheat in partnership with ADF and/or with other Prairie crop

‘Electro-farming’ makes photosynthesis redundant and could reduce land use by 94 percent

Scientists have developed a farming method that could replace traditional photosynthesis with a much more efficient system. This ‘electro-agriculture’ could allow plants to grow in the dark and require as much as 94 percent (!) less agricultural land, writes Andrei Stiru in an article published by Scientias.
