Agriculture Roundup for Monday, November 21, 2022

The Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission and the Saskatchewan Winter Cereals Development Commission are asking producers for feedback on the potential amalgamation of the two organizations.

Resolutions were passed in January giving approval to the groups to explore options for amalgamation.

An initial online survey found producers were overwhelmingly in favour of exploring options for amalgamation.

A more in-depth consultation document providing the background, rationale, and process for the potential amalgamation has been released. It can be found on both commissions’ websites. Registered producers can comment until Dec. 11.

For over two decades, Dr. Mitloehner has been at the forefront of research on how animal agriculture affects our air and our climate. With deep expertise in emissions and volatile organic compounds, his work initially focused on air quality in regions like California’s Central Valley—home to both the nation’s richest agricultural output and some of its poorest air quality.

In recent years, methane has taken center stage in climate discourse—not just scientifically, but politically. Once a topic reserved for technical discussions about manure management and feed efficiency, it has become a flashpoint in debates over sustainability, regulation, and even the legitimacy of livestock farming itself.
