Farmers Encouraged To Get In Touch With Candidates

The national group representing Canada's beef producers is encouraging all farmers to get in touch with their candidates during the federal election campaign.
 
Canadian Cattlemen's Association Senior Manager of Government and International Relations, Fawn Jackson, says it's important to let them know there's people in their riding in the beef sector and the agriculture industry as a whole.
 
"I think that's also, as a general citizen, a good thing to undertake," she said. "Reach out to your candidate, let them know you're position, and I'm sure it'll be a good dialogue."
 
Jackson says it makes future conversations about the industry's needs even easier.
 
Canadians hit the polls on Monday, October 21.

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
