Cultivating Trust Event Goes Today

Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan holds its Annual Conference this afternoon.
 
Executive Director Clinton Monchuk says the theme for this year's virtual event is Cultivating Trust and features 2 keynote speakers Professor Timothy Caulfield and Dr Frank Mitloehner.
 
"Professor Caulfield will be talking about a lot of the misinformation that's out there and how we can deal with it. Dr. Mitloehner is going to be talking about methane cycles. You know there's been a lot of negativity around the livestock industry particularly ruminant production. He's got a great presentation that we're going to be listening to talking about the methane cycle and why a lot of the information that's being spread is in fact misleading to the public."
 
Another highlight for today will be the presentation of the Farm and Food Care Champion Award which is given out to individuals who strive to engage consumers about agriculture and help farmers build public trust in our province and beyond.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
