Three new companies join Canadian Prairies Trusted Advisor Partnership

The Canadian Prairies Trusted Advisor Partnership (TAP), an agronomist-led training program to improve soil health on the Canadian Prairies, welcomes three new companies: Oatly, Bob’s Red Mill, and Grain Millers. These members will help to further the development of TAP’s conservation agriculture curriculum on the Prairies, a curriculum that answers the demand for comprehensive training in sustainable agrology.

“As a grower advisor for Grain Millers, I can personally attest to the importance of the work of TAP in filling advisory knowledge gaps and increasing producer access to soil health resources,” says Olivia Kennedy, crop sciences manager with Grain Millers. “We look forward to the impact we will see across the Prairie landscape and further supporting growers in improving the health of their soils.”

Co-designed by agronomists, independent ag experts and leading conservation groups, the Canadian Prairies TAP training combines video-based modules and readings with weekly live discussions.

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.
