Listening to Growers, Investing in the Future of Canola

Alberta Canola funds research that investigates the best ways to grow canola, finds solutions for pest management, and increases the demand for canola in Alberta. The research we support must be innovative and provide long-term value to canola farmers in Alberta. For the past three years, Alberta Canola has been hosting Research Symposiums around the province, held in conjunction with the Alberta Canola Conference in January, to share information and seek feedback on the priorities most important to farmers. Research Symposiums have been held in Red Deer, Grande Prairie, and Lethbridge, and they all featured an interactive activity where attendees ‘invested’ funds in areas that they thought to be the most important for research funding. The results from the Research Symposium activities have helped evolve research priorities, supporting decisions on research investment. When Alberta Canola reviews research letters of intent and full proposals each year, we consider which projects wi

Making it Easier to Get Back to Farming with Right to Repair Policy

Farm equipment has become more advanced with every passing year. From artificial intelligence to variable rate technology, investments in these innovations promise efficiency, but often with fewer options for farmers to diagnose and repair their own equipment. Farmers used to be able to simply review the index and service checklist in the operator’s manual, but now there is more control by original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and a greater reliance on diagnostics software from a certified technician. This has led to downtime and added cost during critical production windows as farmers lose their ability to get their owned and operated farm equipment up and running after a breakdown. The concept of Right to Repair empowers farmers with the tools and information they need to fix their equipment quickly, easing the burden of breakdowns and keeping operations running smoothly. KEY BENEFITS INCLUDE: • Faster repairs: Farmers or independent mechanics can diagnose fault codes and access
