Qualisoy Promotes Soy Portfolio at the International Baking Industry Exposition

Qualisoy Promotes Soy Portfolio at the International Baking Industry Exposition
Vegas - Full of lights, sounds and soybean oil? The International Baking Industry Exposition hosted more than 23,000 baking professionals in Las Vegas, where QUALISOY representatives promoted U.S. soy and created conversations around the soy portfolio, specifically soybean oil.
 
Every three years this event, the largest grain-based food industry event in the Western Hemisphere, draws more than 23,000 baking professionals from companies such as Nestlé, The J.M. Smucker Company and Schwan’s Company.
 
QUALISOY, a third-party collaboration between representatives from all sectors of the soybean industry, promotes the development of and builds the market for the latest soybean traits. As a sponsor and an exhibitor of this year’s IBIE event, QUALISOY members engaged with expo attendees, opening up conversations with decision-makers in the baking industry about the portfolio of soy grown in the U.S.
 
These conversations resulted in more than 230 leads and meetings with 14 different food companies. The team encouraged trial and adoption of high oleic soybean oil while fielding requests from over 35 people for samples. The QUALISOY-sponsored learning session also drew in 40 attendees.

Video: Sclerotinia and Lygus in Seed Canola: Field Update with George Lubberts, CCA | Enchant, Alberta

Join Certified Crop Advisor George Lubberts for this Prairie Certified Crop Advisor (Prairie CCA) field update from Enchant, Alberta. In this 12th video of the series, George takes us into a seed canola field where the male rows have been removed and the female plants are filling pods. This video was taken in the third week of August 2025.

George discusses the early signs of sclerotinia stem rot, explaining how infection begins in the stem, impacts pod development, and leads to premature ripening. He also shares insights on lygus bug management, including timing of spray applications to minimize feeding damage and maintain seed size and quality.

With cool, damp summer conditions, George notes that while disease pressure is present, overall field health remains good. The crop is just beginning to show early seed colour change, signaling progress toward maturity.

Topics Covered:

•Sclerotinia stem rot identification and impact

•Managing lygus bugs in seed canola

•Crop stage and seed colour change observations

•Timing insecticide sprays for optimal protection

•Insights from a CCA field perspective in southern Alberta
