Canadian Angus Association meets in Saskatoon

Jun 09, 2023

Angus breeders from across Canada are gathering in Saskatoon this week for the Canadian Angus Association's annual meeting and convention.

The Chair of the Convention Committee is Michelle Sauder from Windy Willow Farms in the Hodgeville area.

She says the Angus breed is a cornerstone of the beef cattle sector.

"It's their mothering ability, the maternal aspect, the natural marbling in the meat, and for vigor and calving in particular. It's a great cross with any of the other breeds in Canada. So, it does end up at the top of the list when you're looking at registrations and cattle numbers."

For those taking in this year's event, it's going to be a busy few days with tours and informational sessions.

Video: Understanding the Basics of the Renewable Fuel Standard

On Friday, April 24, 2026, from 12 noon–1:00 ET, the Penn State Center for Agricultural and Shale Law, alongside the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture’s (PDA) Agricultural Business Development Center (ABDC), presented this webinar in the Understanding Agricultural Law Educational Series, a course designed to develop subject matter literacy and competence on fundamental issues of agricultural law for attorneys and business advisors who work with or represent agricultural or rural clients but may not necessarily specialize in agricultural law:

“Understanding the Basics of the Renewable Fuel Standard”

The Clean Air Act’s Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) program requires transportation fuel sold in the United States to contain a minimum volume of renewable fuels such as ethanol, biodiesel, or advanced biofuels. Established by the Energy Policy Act of 2005 and later expanded by the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, the RFS is implemented by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in collaboration with the Department of Energy and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

This webinar provides an overview of the legal authority and structure for the RFS program and explain how it works, including the program’s system of Renewable Identification Numbers (RINs) and categories of renewable fuels. Additionally, this webinar addresses EPA annual volume requirement rulemaking and associated recent legal issues.
