MBP General Manager Resigns

The general manager of Manitoba Beef Producers has officially resigned from her post with the farmer-run organization.
 
Melinda German took over the position in March 2014, but will now be moving to Calgary to manage the Canadian Beef Cattle Research, Market Development and Promotion Agency.
 
German says Manitoba has been her home for a number of years, but she is excited for what is to come in Alberta.
 
"This is an excellent opportunity for me to work at a national level and continue to serve beef producers, particularly those I have gotten to know during my time in Manitoba," she says in a statement on Friday. "This is an important time for the beef industry and I'm excited to have the opportunity to be part of it while continuing to work in the best interests of producers."

Video: How the PRRS-resistant pig provides innovation and impact for farmers – full-length film


What is the real-world impact of innovations like the PRRS-resistant pig for producers, scientists and the entire pork industry? For the Chinn family, sixth generation hog farmers in Missouri, who have dealt with devastating PRRS breaks before, the possibility of eliminating PRRS means the promise of passing the farm down to the next generation. For university researchers like Dr. Alison Van Eenennaam at UC Davis, it means scientists could use genetics to precisely decrease animal disease. And for consumers, it means the pork on your plate is no different, except for its resistance to disease.
