Alberta Pork Telephone Town Hall Breaking New Ground

It’s been just over a year since the first Alberta Pork telephone town hall was launched to provide the latest on PED and how to prevent it. 15 calls and 2,000 participants later, it’s still going strong, and it’s about to get even better.
 
Starting with the next telephone town hall, Alberta Pork will be expanding the program to include other issues of pressing importance to producers and industry. 
 
Join us on Wednesday, February 25 at 10:30 am Mountain Time as we bring you the latest on PED developments and discuss one of the key aspects of the revised code of practice: Pain mitigation. What are the new requirements? How can producers ensure they comply?
 
We'll also be taking your questions on either of these pressing topics.
 
Watch for more details coming soon!

What’s really happening beneath the soil surface?

If we want to grow nutrient-dense, resilient crops, we need to build an environment where soil microbes thrive. That means:

Keeping soil covered—no more bare, sunbaked fields!

Breaking compaction layers so roots can reach deeper moisture and nutrients

Feeding microbes with cover crops and living root exudates

Fix the soil environment, and the microbes will do the rest.
