Cereals Canada Applauding Completion Of Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement

Nov 24, 2020

Cereals Canada is applauding the completion of negotiations for the Canada-United Kingdom Trade Continuity Agreement.

“The Canada-UK Trade Continuity Agreement provides important clarity on the Canada-UK trade relationship in the post-Brexit environment. This is a positive outcome for Canadian wheat farmers and exporters, especially those operating in a highly integrated supply chain with important UK millers and food processors,” said Dean Dias, Chief Executive Officer of Cereals Canada.

“The UK is a valuable and consistent market for Canadian wheat farmers and exporters. Canada’s cereals industry has longstanding connections with UK partners and we look forward to the continued stability of export opportunities for both high- and medium-protein wheats in the post-Brexit environment,” added Dias.

“Now that negotiations are completed, we are calling on the Canadian Parliament to ratify the transitional agreement before the end of the year. Given the interim nature of this agreement, we urge Canada and the UK to continue discussions towards a permanent trade agreement to support continued growth and stability over the long-term,” concluded Dias.

Video: Evolution of Beef Cattle Farming

The Clear Conversations podcast took to the road for a special episode recorded in Nashville during CattleCon, bringing listeners straight into the heart of the cattle industry. Host Tracy Sellers welcomed rancher Steve Wooten of Beatty Canyon Ranch in Colorado for a wide-ranging discussion that blended family history and sustainability, particularly as it relates to the future of beef production.

Sustainability emerged as a central theme of the conversation, a word that Wooten acknowledges can mean very different things depending on who you ask. For him, sustainability starts with the soil. Healthy soil produces healthy grass, which supports efficient cattle capable of producing year after year with minimal external inputs. It’s an approach that equally considers vegetation, animal efficiency, and long-term profitability.

That philosophy aligned naturally with Wooten’s involvement in the U.S. Roundtable for Sustainable Beef, where he served as a representative for the Colorado Cattlemen’s Association. The roundtable brings together the entire beef supply chain—from producers to retailers—along with universities, NGOs, and allied industries. Its goal is not regulation, Wooten emphasized, but collaboration, shared learning, and continuous improvement.
