Comment: Talkin’ about my generation

This farm generation is wrestling with bits and bytes in their generational revolution

By
It’s a truism in agriculture that food-growing technology undergoes an industry-shaking metamorphosis every generation. When Grandpa (both yours and mine) farmed, better seed like hybrids came in and oat-eating horsepower went out. His sons, our fathers, were early adopters of anhydrous ammonia, 2,4-D, and, whoa, combines. Twenty-five years later, our generational farm-changing moment arrived with

Comment: The fourth industrial revolution

Farmers can benefit more than most from the rapid technological advancements that are all around us

By
Who is a farmer? My answer: a professional, a person of integrity and honesty, an expert in his or her field, a steward of the land, a champion of the working class, an employer, a hard worker and an entrepreneur. All these things are true and define most of the people driving today’s farm. It’s

Comment: Protecting trade in a protectionist era

Canada needs to respond to trade barriers by using dispute settlement mechanisms

By
The world has become protectionist. There is, justifiably, much focus on issues with China. But it is not just China. Canadian agriculture commodities are blocked in India, Italy, Saudi Arabia, and Vietnam and face issues in key markets like Peru. Countries are turning inward, finding new ways to block trade. How do we protect our

Comment: Defending market access for Canadian canola

By
Regaining full market access for our canola producers is Canada’s top international trade priority, right alongside the fight to get rid of illegal U.S. tariffs on steel and pipe products. Long before the recent Chinese action to block shipments of canola from well-respected Canadian firms like Richardson and Viterra, we have had an ongoing dialogue

Comment: Growing a new crop of graduates

The U of M diploma agriculture program has broad appeal, even to those without an agriculture background

Comment: Bring back the PFRA

Soil conservation in Canada has been losing ground despite a general feeling erosion is a problem of the past

By
Some say it saved Western Canada. But the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Administration, perhaps the most respected government agency in Canada’s history, was dissolved in 2003. It’s time to bring it back. Scientific principles are one thing. Encouraging farmers to use them are another — that requires expertise in ‘extension,’ a word which has unfortunately fallen

Comment: Beyond Meat and the plant-based invasion

The Yankees are coming! Or at least their veggie burgers are

By
It was just a matter of time before we saw Beyond Meat, the California-based company partially owned by Bill Gates and meat-giant Tyson Foods, make a jump from drive-thrus to grocery store shelves. Beyond Meat recently announced that its vegan burger will be available at several large Canadian grocers beginning in May, just in time

By
For those of us who have slid, shovelled, and skated through the wildest up-and-down winter weather in years, here’s a warm thought: planting is well underway in parts of North America, with more to come soon. After that brief pleasantness, however, the outlook gets pretty cold pretty fast. Early February reports from the U.S. Department

Comment: Now that we have your attention

Get ready for the fight for animal agriculture

By
Raising cattle is a way of life in rural Missouri. We have the second-most cows of any state, behind only Texas. Much of our ag economy depends on beef to survive. The same could be said of pork, poultry or a number of other meat animals. So why write an article taste testing a plant-based
