Agriculture Roundup for Friday December 2, 2022

Canadian Western Agribition (CWA) and the Saskatchewan Roughriders partnered to provide admission to more than 500 displaced Ukrainians and newcomers to attend Agribition yesterday.

CWA CEO Shaun Kindopp said Agribition is a place of community.

“As Ukrainians and refugees transition into this new way of life, it’s important for them to feel welcome and safe in our province,” Kindopp said.

So far, over 2,000 Ukrainians have arrived in the province since the war began in February.

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
