Ontario Pork’s thoughts are with the producer whose herd has had an outbreak and we’ve appreciated the cooperation they have provided during this difficult time.

  • We have learned that the samples that were sent to the National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease in Winnipeg from the suspect farm in Middlesex County have tested positive for the PED virus.
  • Currently a trace back on all movement in and out of the farm is being conducted.

·         Attached is a current PEDv Biosecurity Advisory from the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food and Ministry of Rural Affairs – please review PED%20Advisory%20Jan%2024-14%20%282%29.txt

CWRC appoints new president, transitions host duties to Sask Wheat

The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition (CWRC) has appointed a new president, following the transition of hosting duties from Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) to the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat). Sask Wheat executive director Blair Goldade is the new CWRC president. The president, who is appointed from the host organization and approved by the CWRC board of directors, is the key contact for external stakeholders. The CWRC’s operational hosting duties rotate every three years between the three Prairie producer organizations who represent wheat farmers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba: Sask Wheat, Alberta Grains and MCA. “Sask Wheat was the inaugural host when the CWRC was formed in 2017, so this represents a full-circle moment for the organization. Looking back nearly a decade later, I’m extremely proud of what the CWRC has accomplished on behalf of western Canadian farmers,” Goldade says. “I would like to extend my sincere thanks to MCA and outgoing CWRC
