CropConnect 2021 Cancelled Due To COVID-19

The 2021 CropConnect Conference has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Below is a statement from the organizing committe:
 
The difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2021 CropConnect Conference, at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Winnipeg due to the uncertainties regarding COVID-19 specifically relating to events of our size.
 
Our ag community’s well-being is our top priority. With so many unknowns the CropConnect committee felt that it was financially prudent and in everyone’s best interests that we follow the expert advice we are all receiving to limit or eliminate large group gatherings in order to continue to slow the spread of this virus in our province.
 
Please keep your calendars marked as planning is underway to virtually host four Annual General Meetings on February 10 & 11, 2021. Stay tuned for more details.
 
We appreciate your understanding and we look forward to staying connected with you and hopefully we will be back full force February 15&16, 2022.

I’m Phil Hord, and I’m excited to kick off my first episode as host on The Swine it Podcast Show. It’s a privilege to begin this journey with you. In this episode, Dr. John Deen, a retired Distinguished Global Professor Emeritus from the University of Minnesota, explains how pandemic threats continue to shape U.S. swine health and production. He discusses vulnerabilities in diagnostics, movement control, and national preparedness while drawing lessons from ASF, avian influenza, and field-level epidemiology. Listen now on all major platforms.

"Pandemic events in swine systems continue to generate significant challenges because early signals often resemble common conditions, creating delays that increase spread and economic disruption."
