Manitoba Pork is pleased to welcome Richard Madan to his new position as Manitoba’s trade representative in Washington, D.C.

“Congratulations to both Premier Kinew and Minister Moses on meeting this important milestone, and we look forward to working closely with Mr. Madan in his new role and in strategic outreach across the United States”, said Manitoba Pork general manager Cam Dahl. “In addition to connecting with lawmakers and leaders in Washington, our hope is that this office will act as a hub for strategic outreach to key states that are economically important to Manitoba, like Iowa, Minnesota, and others.”

Manitoba Pork also looks forward to working collaboratively and strategically with other provinces, namely Alberta and Saskatchewan, to advocate for shared trading goals on agriculture and food trade with the United States, both through Manitoba’s new trade representative and through other key members of the government.

Video: What If Everything You Knew About Feed Inventory Was Wrong?

AI, Agriculture & the Future of Smart Farming with BinSentry CEO Ben Allen. Every day, livestock producers make thousands of dollars' worth of decisions based on one simple question: How much feed is actually left in the bin? For decades, the answer has often been an estimate.

In this episode of AgTech with Andrew, I sit down with Ben Allen, CEO of BinSentry, to explore how artificial intelligence, machine vision and real-time data are transforming one of agriculture's most overlooked challenges—feed and grain inventory management.
We discuss why some of the biggest inefficiencies in livestock production aren't happening in the barn, but throughout the feed supply chain. Ben shares insights from his career leading agricultural technology companies, explains why AI must solve real business problems to earn producer trust, and offers his vision for the connected farm of the future.

In this interview, you'll discover:
Why feed inventory has remained one of agriculture's biggest blind spots
How AI is reducing costly feed outages, waste and unnecessary deliveries
The hidden safety risks of traditional bin inspections
What separates successful ag technologies from those that never gain adoption
How connected farms are changing decision-making for producers, feed mills and integrators
Why real-time inventory may become as important as precision planting and autonomous equipment

Whether you're a livestock producer, grain farmer, feed manufacturer, ag retailer, nutritionist or simply passionate about the future of agriculture, this conversation offers valuable insights into where the industry is headed.
