Comment by Andrew Campbell on March 29, 2010 at 6:28am: Not sure what the age is of producers here - but if you are 25 or under - you may want to look up the Ontario Dairy Youth Business Management School - a 3 day course from Ontario Holstein and 4-H. Call 4-H Ontario for more info -- they only have a few spots left.

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

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.”
