A Match Made for Success: How Farmer Dollars and Breeder Expertise Can Keep Canada Competitive

Walk into any Prairie coffee shop and you’ll hear two conversations: harvest and uncertainty. Harvest is the here-and-now. Uncertainty is what happens next — especially for wheat. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) is signalling a shift away from commercializing field-ready cultivars in the years ahead. That change won’t happen overnight, but it will change who develops, tests and delivers the next Brandon-level winner to your farm. Experts lay out, in plain terms, what’s at stake and what farmers can do to make sure wheat doesn’t just survive the transition — it thrives. Why the Urgency? SeCan’s Western business manager Todd Hyra says the quiet part out loud: “When you think about 75% of the products coming out of one breeding program, the threat of that going away is something to be considered.” He’s talking about AAFC Swift Current’s long track record of top picks. But he quickly adds that the bigger risk isn’t just fewer varieties — it’s losing the backbone of the whole Pra

Saskatchewan Farm Groups Call for Export Sales Reporting System

Saskatchewan farm groups are calling on the federal government to establish a national grain export sales reporting system, a move they say could generate more than $56 million in annual returns for Canadian grain farmers through improved market transparency and decision-making. In a joint release Tuesday, the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) and SaskCrops said producers here are at a significant information disadvantage compared to competitors in the US and European Union, where export sales reporting systems are already in place. Those systems provide farmers with timely, destination-specific data on grain sales, enabling better market forecasting and pricing decisions, the release said. A study commissioned by the farm groups and undertaken by Winnipeg-based Mercantile Consulting Venture Inc. found that closing the information gap, could generate returns of up to $56.6 million annually for Canadian grain farmers. “Enhanced data transparency would impr

15th Annual Maple Leaf Foods' Food Safety Symposium Calls for Renewed Vigilance to Reduce Foodborne Illness from Listeria

Maple Leaf Foods Inc. (TSX: MFI) hosted the 15th annual Food Safety Symposium in Mississauga Ontario on October 21, 2025. The event, titled "How many more wake up calls? Confronting the Listeria threat – reclaiming control before the next crisis," brought together hundreds of food safety professionals to discuss and engage on the alignment and intersection of culture and best practices to control Listeria and foodborne illness.

Farm groups call on Federal Government to create Export Sales Reporting Program

The Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan (APAS) and SaskCrops (consisting of SaskBarley, SaskOats, SaskOilseeds, Saskatchewan Pulse Growers and Sask Wheat), call on the Federal Government for the creation of an Export Sales Reporting program, so Canadian farmers have timely access to sales and export data. Canadian farmers currently operate at a significant information disadvantage compared to producers in competing regions such as the U.S. and EU, who have robust reporting and transparency systems. “Our organizations, representing 24,000 Saskatchewan farmers, initiated an independent study by Mercantile Consulting to illustrate how greater access to export sales data could empower farmers with insights for better decision making, influencing market dynamics, pricing structures and the overall competitiveness of Canadian grain farmers,” said Jake Leguee, chair of Sask Wheat’s board of directors. The study suggests that closing the information gap, could generate return
