IAFP Announces Tier-Pricing Membership Rates

The International Association for Food Protection (IAFP) will revise its Membership rates effective September 1, 2024, allowing for increasing costs in Association operations and meeting expenses over the past several years. Discussions onincreasing rates were 
postponed by the IAFP Executive Board in 2019–2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This rate revision – the first in 17 years – will help keep up with expenses while continuing to provide excellent value for the many benefits IAFP consistently brings to its Members.

In addition, with the increased worldwide interest in food safety, IAFP will allow more accessibility to all potential Members by offering a tiered Membership at various levels based on the World Bank’s classification by gross national income (GNI) per capita. 

The four income groups and prices are:
• $80 High Income
• $40 Upper-Middle Income
• $20 Lower-Middle Income
• $10 Low Income
• Student Membership rates are half of the above rates.

EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
