The Canadian Pulse Research Workshop (CPRW) will be hosted in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, from November 15 to 18, 2026. This will be the 13th edition of the event, bringing together participants from across Canada and the northern United States.

The three-day workshop will highlight new developments in pulse crop research and provide a platform for collaboration between researchers, agronomists, students, growers, and industry professionals. It is expected to attract a wide range of participants, including academics, extension specialists, and crop advisers.

The agenda will feature keynote presentations, panel discussions, concurrent sessions, poster presentations, and optional tours. Themes will include:

  • Breeding and genomics of pulses
  • Sustainability of pulse-based cropping systems

Abstract submissions are now being accepted and will remain open until June 30, 2026.

The Canadian Pulse Research Workshop has long been an important event for advancing innovation in pulse crops. It not only shares the latest scientific progress but also helps build connections across industry to ensure a sustainable and productive future for pulse farming.

EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Video: EP 65 Grazing Through Drought

Welcome to the conclusion of the Getting Through Drought series, where we look at the best management practices cow-calf producers in Alberta can use to build up their resiliency against drought.

Our hope is that the series can help with the mental health issues the agriculture sector is grappling with right now. Farming and ranching are stressful businesses, but that’s brought to a whole new level when drought hits. By equipping cow-calf producers with information and words of advice from colleagues and peers in the sector on the best ways to get through a drought, things might not be as stressful in the next drought. Things might not look so bleak either.

In this final episode of the series, we are talking to Ralph Thrall of McIntyre Ranch who shares with us his experience managing grass and cows in a pretty dry part of the province.
