Mike Nowosad Retires From CEO 4-H Canada Position

Dec 14, 2012

CEO of 4-H Canada Retires, New CEO Announcement Expected Early 2013

Mike Nowosad chief executive officer for 4-H Canada retired last month and the 4-H national organization is now seeking new leadership.

Nowosad is known for his many contributions to the 4-H organization. During his 22 years with the organization he was responsible for pushing for a commission to measure the pulse of the organization, which assessed the impact and value of the program across Canada - that report was called “Measures of Success”. He was also instrumental in implementing a national 4-H development network.

Most importantly, Nowosad will be remembered for helping to define what the 4-H organization will stand for as it will mark its 100th anniversary in 2013. The anniversary kickoff will begin with a gala in Winnipeg next spring and will include other special events throughout the year, such as the youth ag summit planed for August.

The new CEO is expected to be named early in 2013.

Video: Is China Buying US Soybeans + USDA Nov 14th Crop Report could be “Game Changing”

After a week of a U.S./China trade truce, markets/trade is skeptical that we have not seen a signed agreement nor heard much from China or seen any details. There are rumors that China is buying soybean futures & not the physical. Trust in Trump?
12 MMT of U.S. soybean purchases by China by year-end is better than 0 but we all need to give it more time and give it a chance to unfold. China did lower the tariffs on Ag and is buying U.S. wheat and sorghum.
U.S. supreme court could rule against Trumps tariffs, but the Trump administration does have a plan B.
U.S. government shutdown is now the longest in history at 38 days.
But despite a U.S. government shutdown we will be getting a USDA November crop report next Friday and it could be “game changing.” If the USDA provides a bullish surprise with lower U.S. corn and soybean yields and ending stocks that are lower than expected both corn and soybean futures will break out above their ceilings at $4.35/bu and $11.35/bu respectively.
The funds continued their selling in live and feeder cattle futures on continued fears that the Trump administration want to lower U.S. beef prices. The fundamentals have not changed, only market psychology has.
Stocks markets continue to worry about a weak U.S. job market, but you can blame ChatGPT for that. In the future, we will have a more efficient, productive and growing economy with a higher unemployment rate until we have more skilled AI workers.
After 34 new record highs in the S & P 500 and 124 new records in the NASDAQ in 2025 we are back to a correction and investor profit taking as AI valuations may have gotten too stretched near-term ahead of NVDA’s 3rd quarter earnings announcement on Nov. 19th. But this is not an AI bubble.
