Saskatchewan Group Seeks A Champion Of Agriculture

 
A farm group is looking to honour a champion of agriculture in Saskatchewan.
 
Farm and Food Care Saskatchewan is accepting nominations for farmers or groups which promote Saskatchewan agriculture and help build consumer trust.
 
She says it is important for the farming community to tell its story to consumers.
 
With fewer people involved in agriculture, she says consumers are not aware of the care and attention which farmers put into placing safely-produced product on store shelves.
 
She says farmers have a great story to tell and Saskatchewan grows a lot of fantastic food, with 43 per-cent of Canada’s arable land.
 
Buettner says several nominations have already been received.

Video: Canada reaches tariff deal with China on canola, electric vehicles

Canada has reached a deal with China to increase the limit of imports of Chinese electric vehicles (EVs) in exchange for Beijing dropping tariffs on agricultural products, such as canola, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Friday.

The tariffs on canola are dropping to 15 per cent starting on March 1. In exchange for dropping duties on agricultural products, Carney is allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be exported to Canada.

Carney described it as a “preliminary but landmark” agreement to remove trade barriers and reduce tariffs, part of a broader strategic partnership with China.
