Dear fellow canola growers,
I am honoured to have been selected by the board to serve as Chair for the upcoming year. As a third-generation canola grower from Valhalla Centre, located just northwest of Grande Prairie in Alberta’s Peace Region, I am proud to represent our community and Alberta’s canola growers.
As Alberta Canola celebrates its 35th year of advancing the canola industry, we see that world trade, regulations, and policy are more important than ever. We are currently facing tariffs from China and the United States; however, by working with our national organizations, we are actively trying to minimize any long-term impacts these tariffs may have.
One key solution we are exploring is increasing homegrown biofuel production, which aligns perfectly with canola’s potential. In the upcoming election, it will be crucial for us to engage with candidates to ensure this solution becomes a reality.
One thing is certain in these challenging times: Alberta Canola, your provincial, farmer-led, grower organization remains steadfast in its mission to support the long-term success of canola farmers in Alberta through research, extension, consumer engagement, and advocacy.
