"The honours received at the World Dairy Innovation Awards shine the spotlight on the Canadian dairy industry by recognizing its innovations, from the production of milk right up to how we promote it to consumers," says Pierre Lampron, president of Dairy Farmers of Canada. "These marketing accolades would not be possible without our dairy farmers and their hard work. In blazing a trail for sustainable milk production, they make promoting this hard work all the easier."

Last year, DFC committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 with a mission to spread the word on sustainability.  The campaign recognized at the World Dairy Innovation Awards centers on how Canada's dairy farmers are working hard to reach this objective. Through the "We're In" campaign, we highlighted new, innovative practices that showed Canadians how our industry is dedicated to a greener future for everyone.

"The awards our team have received reflects the positive commitment of Canadian dairy farmers in tackling sustainability," said Pamela Nalewajek, Chief Marketing Officer for DFC. "Caring for the environment isn't just confined to one industry or country – it's everyone's responsibility. To win on a global stage like this is another example of Canadian dairy's leadership on the issue."

The World Dairy Innovation Awards are a celebration of innovation and excellence across every category of the international dairy industry.

Video: Sclerotinia and Lygus in Seed Canola: Field Update with George Lubberts, CCA | Enchant, Alberta

Join Certified Crop Advisor George Lubberts for this Prairie Certified Crop Advisor (Prairie CCA) field update from Enchant, Alberta. In this 12th video of the series, George takes us into a seed canola field where the male rows have been removed and the female plants are filling pods. This video was taken in the third week of August 2025.

George discusses the early signs of sclerotinia stem rot, explaining how infection begins in the stem, impacts pod development, and leads to premature ripening. He also shares insights on lygus bug management, including timing of spray applications to minimize feeding damage and maintain seed size and quality.

With cool, damp summer conditions, George notes that while disease pressure is present, overall field health remains good. The crop is just beginning to show early seed colour change, signaling progress toward maturity.

Topics Covered:

•Sclerotinia stem rot identification and impact

•Managing lygus bugs in seed canola

•Crop stage and seed colour change observations

•Timing insecticide sprays for optimal protection

•Insights from a CCA field perspective in southern Alberta
