Red Deer Swine Technology Workshop Starts in 2 Weeks

The 16th Annual Red Deer Swine Technology Workshop (RDSTW) is just two weeks away.and Alberta Pork is proud to once again be a major sponsor. The workshop's objective was, and still is, to communicate information on practical pig production, primarily to producers, managers and people working in the barn, with the aim of improving productivity and reducing costs.  As such, it has a unique position in the pork industry calendar and is clearly differentiated from the Banff Pork Seminar, the Alberta Pork Congress and other events.
 
As with previous workshops, the education program is accompanied by a trade show.  Throughout the workshop, time will be made available for interaction with the trade show booths and exhibitors will have the opportunity to introduce their company and products to the delegates.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
