MacAulay Heading To China For Third Time

Nov 02, 2018

Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay will be leading his third trade mission to China next week.

He'll be joined by a delegation of over 300 people, including agricultural leaders and provincial partners.

"The Government of Canada is very pleased with the continued cooperation between Canada and China." said MacAulay. "I look forward to taking part in agri-business events in China to showcase Canada's agri-food and fish and seafood sectors, help grow exports for Canadian products and strengthen the trading relationship between our two countries."

MacAulay will also join Minister of Finance Bill Morneau, and Minister of International Trade Diversification Jim Carr, at the Canada-China Economic and Financial Strategic Dialogue.

Other stops include the China International Import Expo and China Fisheries and Seafood Expo.

In 2017, China imported $8.6 billion worth of agricultural, agri-food and seafood products from Canada.

Video: California Farm Bureau 2025 Farm Dog of the Year Contest Winner - Willy - CAFB 107th Annual Meeting

Meet Willy: California Farm Bureau’s 2025 Farm Dog of the Year!

We’re excited to introduce Willy, a miniature long-haired dachshund with a big heart and even bigger courage, and the Grand Prize winner of this year’s Farm Dog of the Year Contest!

Willy may be small, but he’s become an indispensable partner on owner Marshal Hagedorn’s forestry and cattle operations in Shasta, Tehama, and Siskiyou counties. Adopted in 2023, he quickly found his place on the ranch, helping manage critters, tagging along for long days in the woods, and offering unwavering companionship during demanding logging work.

Willy has even taken naturally to moving cattle, surprising calves (and more than a few full-grown cows!) with his burst of energy from the tall grass. As Marshal put it: “He goes with me everywhere every single day.”

Congratulations to Willy and his family, a perfect example of how every good farm dog, no matter the size, helps keep California agriculture running strong.
