Canadian Cereals industry drives economic growth nation wide

A new report provides detail of the economic impact of Canadian wheat, barley, durum, and oats in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritimes.

Cereals Canada chief executive officer Dean Dias said GlobalData investigated how each province or region contributes to the cereals industry.

“Canadian cereals have a positive impact coast to coast, by creating jobs, supporting families, and driving our country’s economic growth,” Dias said.

In addition to highlighting the economic impacts of each province, the reports also showed the regional differences that exist between them. While the bulk of grain production takes place in the west, later-stage processing, such as brewing and pasta production, takes place in the east.

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
