New Genetic Technology Allowing Scientists To Improve Agriculture

 New Genetic Technology Allowing Scientists To Improve Agriculture
 
Genetic Engineering Technology has definitely benefited agriculture but with technology always improving the President of Cereals Cam Dahl says that we already are at the next stage of technology and that the current DNA technology they're using is yesterday`s science.
 
Dahl talked about what the new technology is allowing them to do.
 
"This new technology is now allowing us to turn on or turn off specific characteristics in a plants genome, and that is going to allow us to very rapidly bring on new traits like drought tolerance and hopefully fusarium tolerance."

We are taking students out to southern Manitoba to Hespler Farms! Farmer Wayne will teach students how he plants and cares for his potato crop and why potatoes are such a unique crop to grow. Teachers, check out your AITC Dashboard for Math'd Potatoes, a potato-themed classroom resource to pair with this tour video. Thank you to Peak of the Market and Penner Farm Services for making this event possible.
