Applications Now Open For G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship

Feb 03, 2021

The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship is back.

G3, in partnership with Agriculture in the Classroom Canada (AITC-C), will award six scholarships of $4,000 each to students from across Canada* beginning their post-secondary education, in any discipline.

“The G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship was a great success in 2020, with thousands of votes cast for the videos that were submitted by an impressive field of bright young Canadians,” said Don Chapman, President and CEO of G3. “Our judges had a difficult task choosing winners from so many great entries and I’m sure this year will be no different.”

To apply, students must establish and explain their vision for the future of agriculture in Canada in a two-to-four-minute video essay. Students must also identify how their studies will help achieve their vision for the future of Agriculture. In addition to the scholarship, the winners’ school will also receive $1000.

Last year’s inaugural scholarships were awarded to six students beginning their post-secondary education in university and college across Canada.

“AITC-C is excited to be involved in helping the next generation of leaders reach their post-secondary educational goals,” said Johanne Ross, Executive Director of AITC-C. “Allowing youth to think innovatively and creatively about food and farming will help them to understand the role agriculture plays, not only their daily life, but also as a future career opportunity!”

Entries will be judged by a panel of industry professionals, and the public via online voting.

Applications for the G3 Grow Beyond Scholarship are due by April 1st, 2021.

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.
