Event Description

The Rural Ontario Institute, host of the renowned Advanced
Agricultural Leadership Program (AALP), is excited to announce Dr. Rebecca Sutherns, popular author, professional facilitator and coach will be the featured speaker at The Leadership Lecture and Reception. Tickets are now on sale for this premiere event.

“Imagination isn’t just for dreamers—it’s for leaders,” says Gabrielle Ferguson, Leadership Programs Director at ROI. “This session will inspire and equip listeners to think differently and
act boldly in shaping the future. It is the capstone element of the Advanced AgriculturalLeadership Program (AALP).”

The event will be held on March 27, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM at the DoubleTree by Hilton located at 30 Fairway Rd South in Kitchener. The evening will kick off with a cocktail reception,
providing an opportunity for attendees to network with community leaders, AALP alumni, current participants of AALP Class 20, program sponsors and distinguished guests.

During her talk, Dr. Sutherns will delve into how stepping into a future we desire—whether at a societal, organizational or personal level—requires us to go beyond evidence and embrace the power of imagination.

“By attending this event attendees will discover why imagination is a vital skill we must grow into, not out of, and learn how to incorporate it into their leadership toolkit,” says Dr. Sutherns. Rebecca has a PhD in Sustainable Rural Communities, and is a Certified Professional Facilitator and coach, frequent keynote speaker and has written three books on adaptable leadership. She is a skilled communicator with a gift for helping leaders and organizations reimagine their next chapter.

Pork partnerships still crucial despite trade challenges

As ‘Trade War II’ rages on and global commerce is re-shuffled, the North American trade bloc stands out as one of our most powerful collective assets (Figure 1). The geographic proximity and characteristics of Canada, the U.S. and Mexico make this union ideal for creating secure, efficient and resilient supply chains. This is true across industries but especially food and agriculture. As an American who does business internationally, I believe strengthening this relationship should have been our number-one geopolitical and economic priority. It is both surprising and disappointing that it has instead become a flashpoint in global tensions. For decades, the North American pork industry has been bolstered by cross-border integration and cooperation. The industry has operated as a continental system: live hogs flow south for finishing, American feed grains move north and finished pork products flow both ways. It’s a model of efficiency that has served us all well. The recent imposition

Pre-Harvest Management in Wheat

Staging wheat for pre-harvest weed control can be tricky, especially in years when the crop is uneven due to poor conditions. Pre-harvest staging is critical to avoid any herbicide residues in the grain, which can lead to Maximum Residue Limit (MRL) and marketability issues. A wheat plant is considered physiologically mature at 30% moisture; this means grain fill has stopped, and final yield and kernel weight/size have been determined. Spraying pre-harvest products such as glyphosate, before 30% grain moisture, can negatively impact grain quality and marketability. Research has shown that the application of glyphosate at the soft dough stage (GS 71-85 with >30% moisture) had negative impacts on kernel weight, protein content, and end-use quality (Malalgoda et al., 2020). The application of glyphosate before the hard dough stage – can halt the physiological plant maturity, disrupt grain fill and lead to decreased yield and quality. It can also result in unacceptable residues in harveste

Increasing access to low-cost loans for livestock producers

Alberta is world-renowned for its top-quality beef production, a reputation owed in part to the hard work and dedication of feeder associations, who help livestock producers get financing to buy animals and grow their herds. As demand for Alberta beef continues to grow internationally, leading to higher prices, locally owned feeder associations are turning to the Feeder Associations Loan Guarantee Program (FALGP) for low-interest financing backed by a government guarantee. The program has been so successful at helping livestock producers grow their businesses it has reached its previous limit of $150 million. To ensure it’s able to continue supporting producers, Alberta’s government is increasing the program’s overall limit to $225 million. “Alberta is a beef province, and livestock is a huge part of our agricultural industry. Our cattle and sheep producers put food on tables in our province and around the world. Increasing the limit on Alberta’s loan guarantee program will ensure th
