Event Description

The CCA's third Town Hall meeting will take place in Chelsey, Ontario on July 18, 2012. Hosted in partnership with the Ontario Cattlemen's Association (OCA), the event will be held at the Chesley Community Centre in conjunction with the Bruce County Cattlemen's Association Annual barbecue and the OCA Summer Advisory Councillor Meeting.

OCA President and CCA director Dan Darling said that CCA Town Halls offer a lot of value for producers.
"Not all discussions and exchanges of value to our province's beef industry take place in boardrooms and trade show settings or in the capital cities," he said.

Darling added it's of great benefit to combine the CCA Town Hall with the Bruce County barbecue and the OCA advisory councillor meeting

"Town hall meetings allow Ontario beef farmers to connect with each other and with their provincial and national organizations," he said. "When an opportunity arises to have our national leadership attend local, grassroots events in our province, we wholeheartedly welcome them and encourage our membership to come out, to learn first-hand about the Canadian Cattlemen's efforts on their behalf, and to help shape the future direction of this industry."

CCA town hall meetings provide an excellent opportunity for producers to connect with CCA executives and managers, get the latest industry news and stay up-to-date on the many activities and initiatives CCA is involved in on behalf of Canada's 83,000 beef cattle producers.

The CCA Town Hall event will take place at 2:00 p.m. ET at the Chesley Community Centre located at 129 4th Avenue S.E, Chesley, ON. The Bruce County Cattlemen's Association Annual barbecue will follow at 5:00 p.m.

There is no fee to attend the CCA Town Hall meeting but space is limited so we do ask interested producers to please RSVP at www.cattle.ca/townhall or call Matt French at 403-275-8558. Sponsorship from Farm Credit Canada enables the CCA to hold town hall events through to 2014.

The five-year average is nearly three quarters complete at 73 per cent, while the 10-year average is 62 per cent. The Saskatchewan Agriculture weekly crop report attributes this season’s shortcoming to the impeding rainfall that many areas received between September 9th and 15th. In the race to finish combining, the southwest region is the furthest along with 66 per cent of crops harvested. The southeast region follows behind with 58 per cent of the crop in the bin. In the west-central and northwest regions 47 per cent of crops have been combined, and in the east-central region harvest is 46 per cent complete. Things are progressing more slowly in the northeast with 42 per cent in the bin. Although the rain slowed progress for many, it also improved soil moisture conditions.

CRSB Certified recognized as AgriInvest risk assessment tool

The Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef (CRSB) has announced that its CRSB Certified program is now recognized as an agri-environmental risk assessment (AERA) under Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada’s AgriInvest program. This means that beef producers who are CRSB Certified and require an AERA to participate in AgriInvest can use their certification to meet that requirement for the government program. AgriInvest is one of the business risk management programs delivered under the Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership (SCAP), the federal-provincial-territorial framework that supports Canada’s agriculture and agri-food sectors. CRSB Certification joins a list of eligible AERAs including an Environmental Farm Plan and Nutrient Management Plans.
