No Decision Yet On Manitoba Ag Days 2021

No decision has been made yet regarding next year's Manitoba Ag Days in Brandon, which is scheduled for January 19-21.
 
"I think it's still really early in the process," said General Manager Kristen Phillips. "I think a lot of people are learning and still trying to figure out what the long term plan is. Obviously, we are talking several different contingency plans but at this point we are looking forward to having a show.'
 
Phillips noted the planning group held a meeting last week.
 
"The number one thing we talk about is the safety of patrons and our exhibitors as well as obviously the staff and volunteers and keeping the staff at the Keystone Centre safe," she said. "Really thinking about how we could do a socially distant show and still make it work for everyone."
 
Last week, we heard that CropConnect 2021 was cancelled due to COVID-19. The conference was scheduled to take place in Winnipeg in February.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

Video: Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

In today’s pork industry, producers are under increasing pressure to do more with fewer inputs—while maintaining performance, improving animal health, and meeting sustainability expectations.

we sit down with Sylvain David and Scott Preston from Olmix to explore how seaweed-based solutions are emerging as a foundational tool in modern swine nutrition.

Rather than acting as simple alternatives, these solutions are designed to support gut health, immune resilience, and overall system consistency—especially during key stress periods like weaning, feed transitions, and disease challenges.

The conversation dives into:

• What seaweed-based solutions actually are and how they work

• Why consistency and standardization matter in “natural” products

• How gut health connects to immune function and performance

• Where producers are seeing real-world impact today

• The role of natural solutions in the future of sustainable pork production
