New leadership and members for Protein Industries Canada

Protein Industries Canada has a fresh face leading their Board. Enter Tyler Groeneveld, from the well-known Corteva Agriscience. He's been with them since the beginning of 2018. 

In Tyler's words, “It’s a thrilling journey ahead. With teamwork, we're focusing on innovation and growth in food, feed, and more. Let's make Canada proud!” 

But don't worry, Frank Hart, our inaugural Chair, isn't going anywhere. He’s sticking around on the board. He says, “I've loved my time leading and now it's Tyler's moment. The goal? Boosting Canada’s plant world.” 

Oh, and the board's expanding. Welcome aboard, Dr. Anja Geitmann from McGill, Dori Gingera-Beauchemin, our farmer friend, Jacqueline Khayat of Virentia, and Cargill's Jennifer Marchand. A big thank you to our departing members for their dedication. 

Tyler gave a warm nod to Frank, stating, “Your leadership was a game-changer, Frank. Thanks for setting the stage!” 

Recently, they had an event in Edmonton. A cool collaboration of $20 million with Innovate UK and Yves Potvin, his speech was the talk of the town.

Experience the next level of precision spraying with the John Deere 500R sprayer and its new generation boom. Designed for modern farming operations and professional contractors, the 500R combines exceptional boom stability, accurate application and high productivity even at spraying speeds of up to 30 km/h.

The new boom generation features a compact 2.55 m transport width for safe and easy road travel across Europe, while unfolding in the field to working widths of up to 48 meters. A lightweight yet extremely rigid structure, combined with BoomTrac Pro 2, Active Boom Yaw Control and active roll damping, keeps the boom correctly positioned for consistent coverage and reduced drift.

Advanced spraying technologies such as ExactApply with 6-nozzles switchable from the cab, or single nozzle INC Pro using pulse width modulation ensure precise droplet control, minimized overlaps and optimized input efficiency. The result: higher accuracy, lower chemical usage and improved agronomic outcomes even in challenging field conditions.
