Agriculture Roundup for Tuesday, May 30, 2023

The Beef Cattle Research Council has announced 12 recipients of $2 million in beef check-off funds following its 2022-2023 call for research proposals.

The work will take place at the University of Saskatchewan, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, University of Alberta, and the University of Guelph.

The BCRC, a division of the Canadian Cattle Association, is the national industry-led funding agency for beef, cattle, and forage research, and is funded in part through the Canadian Beef Cattle Check-off.

The check-off money is being used to leverage over $4 million in matching funding from government and other partners.
