Canola Council Of Canada Sets Priorities For The Future

The Canola Council of Canada (CCC) is setting its targets for the future.
 
Looking ahead to the year 2025, the three main priorities for the CCC are sustainable and reliable supply, differentiated value, and stable and open trade.
 
Brian Innes is the vice president of government relations.
 
"The first [goal] is around sustainable supply," he said. "That involves getting our canola yields up to 52 bushels average per acre across western Canada by 2025. We're going to do that by increasing profitability, increasing sustainability, and also making sure that we reduce production risk for growers in the process."
 
Innes says a sustainable supply can be made possible by getting research that's on the bench, out into the field.

EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
