Sask Pulse Board Elections Coming Up

The Saskatchewan Pulse Growers is looking for some new members for their board of governors, and nominations are now open.
 
"We typically have a seven-member board of directors and we are increasing that board size to nine, so we have three spaces available starting in January of 2021," explained Carl Potts, the executive director of Sask Pulse. 
 
The rules for who is eligible to serve on the board are fairly straightforward, according to Potts.
 
"Any producer that has sold pulses or soybeans in the last three years and has paid levy is eligible to run so we encourage any producers that are interested in providing leadership for this sector to put their name forward," added Potts. 
 
Those who are interested in serving on the board can find the nomination package on the Sask Pulse website. The deadline to submit an application is September 14th.

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
