CCA pleased to announce Ryder Lee rejoining organization as new General Manager

Aug 02, 2022

Ryder Lee previously worked for the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) in the Government Affairs office in Ottawa from November 2005 to 2015. Ryder has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association from 2015 to 2022.

CCA Executive Vice President, Dennis Laycraft, had this to say: “Ryder brings an exceptional range of expertise with a strong industry background, years of work on agriculture policy, and advanced management experience.”

Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA) Chair, Arnold Balicki, is optimistic about the future. “I am a little disappointed to have Ryder move on. But I prefer to focus on his significant contributions to SCA over his tenure. SCA has come a long way on policy, governance, relations with government and others through working with a great strategic plan with his leadership. There is a strong foundation for Ryder’s successor to build on.”

“We wish Ryder and his family all the best,” Balicki concluded.

Under the direction of the SCA Executive, SCA will be publishing a job posting at SaskJobs.ca.

Ryder will commence his work with CCA on September 1, 2022.

Video: Same Grit, New Name: A Conversation with Ryan Calistro of Bower Ag

Swine Leaders Live, we sit down with Ryan Calistro, President of Bower Ag, to discuss a major brand transition in the ag construction and solutions space—and what it means for swine producers. Bower Ag represents a new, unified identity, bringing together Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and The Dairy Solutions Group under one name.

We dive into:

• What Bower Ag is and why the transition was made

• What stays the same for longtime customers

• How combining multiple businesses creates new opportunities for producers

• What today’s producers are asking for—and how Bower Ag is responding

• Key insights heading into World Pork Expo
