Congratulatons to Bert Stewart who will be inducted into the Canadian Agricultural Hall of Fame this year. He is known in the dairy industry as one of the top fitters and showman of dairy animals -- around the world.Stewart has also started initiatives like the Dairy 4-H Classic at the Royal, the Dairy Youth Trust Fund, and a number of judging and fitting schools around the world - that continue to this day.

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.

2026 Reg Schellenberg Next Generation Legacy Award Recipient Announced

The Canadian Cattle Foundation (the Foundation) presented the annual Reg Schellenberg Next Generation Legacy Award to Cyle Stewart of Morse, Saskatchewan, to support the Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) Program.

CYLs were encouraged to nominate one of their peers for the award based on criteria built with the Schellenberg family, inclu

Trade, Fertilizer and Markets: What’s Really on Alberta Farmers’ Minds?

What are Alberta farmers, retailers and lenders talking about when they gather around the coffee shop table? In the latest Alberta Seed Guide Podcast, ATB Financial’s Jon Neutens shares what he’s hearing across the province — from fertilizer costs and commodity prices to trade uncertainty and why optimism still runs deep in agriculture.

Commodity prices remain under pressure, fertilizer markets have been rattled by global conflict, and trade negotiations continue to create more questions than answers.

That’s one of the key takeaways from the latest episode of the Alberta Seed Guide Podcast, where host Marc Zienkiewicz sits down with Jon Neutens, head of agriculture at ATB Financial, to discuss what producers, retailers, agribusinesses and lenders are talking about as the 2026 growing season unfolds.
