US/China Trade Negotiations Continue

It's a big week for trade in the US, and Canada will be impacted on both fronts.
 
On Wednesday, the US and China signed the first phase of their new trade deal. The US still plans to keep the tariff war going for now, while phase 2 of the trade deal is worked out.
 
On the 2nd front, The US Senate is expected to vote today on the new NAFTA.
 
The expected vote promises sweeping bipartisan support for the legislation that will replace the original NAFTA. Most farm groups in Canada support the deal, but Canada's supply-managed dairy industry isn't as excited.
 
They're being forced to give up more market share to the US. The Trudeau government has been promising them billions in compensation for the loss of that market share.

Seaweed-Based Solutions: Building Natural Performance in Modern Swine Production

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
