Taking Canada's beef goals and message to the world

The Canadian cattle sector was represented during the recent climate-focused COP27 meetings.

This year, the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change also placed a key focus and emphasis on agriculture and food systems.

CCA’s Bob Lowe and Mitchell Zoratti participated in COP27 as official observers and as part of Canada’s official delegation and were on the ground to participate in the many discussions.

Lowe, past president of the CCA, says beef producers experience climate-related events firsthand and we work every day to continuously improve our working landscapes for generations to come.

Canada already has one of the lowest GHG intensities for beef, and the beef sector has set a reduction target goal of 33 per cent for 2030.

Lowe points out that as climate policy decisions are made, it is extremely important for producers to be present in the discussions.

Video: Time to save the crop with fungicide!

In today’s YouTube video, we walk through some corn fields scouting for disease pressure. Living in the river bottoms like we do, we are always at risk for gray leaf spot and Northern corn blight. We are doing an aerial application of Miravis Neo to protect our corn from those diseases. This year we are using a drone to do our application to help ensure that we can be timely and protect our investment. Miravis Neo helps corn and soybeans stay cleaner and greener through harvest for greater potential yield and ROI.
