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.

Saskatchewan Presses Ottawa to Act on Canola Anti-Dumping Duties

Saskatchewan leaders are urging swift federal action after China slapped steep anti-dumping duties on Canadian canola, threatening one of the province’s most important industries. Premier Scott Moe, along with Agriculture Minister Daryl Harrison and Trade Minister Warren Kaeding, met Thursday in Saskatoon with federal Agriculture Minister Heath MacDonald, Parliamentary Secretary Kody Blois, and industry leaders to address the escalating trade dispute. China’s government imposed a 75.8% duty on Canadian canola seed earlier this month, in addition to existing 100% tariffs on canola oil and meal. The measures, widely viewed as retaliation for Canada’s tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, cut directly into Saskatchewan’s farm economy. “The Government of Saskatchewan condemns China's punitive tariffs on canola, which directly impact Saskatchewan families,” Moe said in a statement. “This is an urgent situation for producers, and we must work together to find immediate solutions.” Sa

Just Minor Progress for Alberta Harvest

Alberta producers made incremental harvest progress this past week, with just 2% of major crops in the bin as of Tuesday, a modest gain of one point from the previous week and well behind the five- and 10-year averages of 8% and 6%, respectively. The latest weekly crop report on Friday said regional progress is led by the South at 6% harvested as of Tuesday, supported by warm and dry conditions. The Peace Region follows at 4% complete, while all other regions remain below 2%. Notably, the Peace is slightly ahead of its historical average, while other regions trail seasonal benchmarks. Among major crops, dry peas are furthest advanced at 17% harvested. Barley sits at 3%, while spring wheat is at 1%. Oats and canola remain below 1%. Amid the sluggish start to harvest, crop conditions remain strong. The report said 64% of major crops were rated good to excellent as of Tuesday, holding steady from last week and well above the five- and 10-year averages of 50% and 55%. The Central Reg

Canadian Cattle Association Statement on Alberta Beef Producers’ Notice of Withdrawal from CCA

“The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) has received and acknowledges Alberta Beef Producers’ (ABP) intention to withdraw from our association by June 30, 2026. “ABP and CCA have a long-standing collaborative and cooperative relationship, and we are both committed to continue working together to benefit beef producers in Alberta and across our country. “We are committed to working directly with the Alberta Beef Producers and all of our provincial members to address this matter so we can all continue our work for the benefit of beef producers across Canada. CCA will continue to do so outside of the media. “Our priority continues to be advocating on behalf of Canadian beef producers on topics such as tariff-free trade, market access, competitiveness, animal disease prevention and preparedness, and business risk management programs.”
