The Canadian Food Inspection Agency has released a report on the latest recommendations and feedback relating to modernizing the seed regulations in Canada.

The process began in 2021 and covers several areas from import to export, seed conditioning, storage, testing and labeling to seed sales. The National Manager for the Seed Section of the CFIA, Wendy Jahn (Yawn) says a number of the regulations, policies and programs interact with each other and rather than making changes one at a time it makes more sense to take a holistic approach to modernizing the system.

Animal Health Canada has been awarded 13 million dollars to further its efforts to improve conditions for farmed animals in Canada. AHC will continue its collaborative work to advance animal health and welfare in Canada. Executive Director Colleen McElwain says the goal is to build a more resilient and responsive industry that can meet both current and future challenges.

Vaccine cost reduction AND SK Pork Symposium

The Canadian Centre for Rural and Agricultural Health located at the University of Saskatchewan has received an anonymous, $1.5-million donation to fund the purchase and operating costs of a new mobile unit that will travel around rural Saskatchewan.
Centre Director Dr. Shelly Kirchuk and Kendra Ulmer, the manager of the Agricultural Health and Safety Network will talk about the work of the rural and agricultural centre and the significance of the donation.

Often people have a certain vision of what a conventional farm looks like.
It usually involved a tractor or combine and a field of golden grain. John Cote and his wife Barb Stefanyshyn Cote did the unthinkable and sold the family farm and then they embarked on a completely different experience...making gin and selling flowers.

Barb will talk about their journey to the creation of Black Fox Farm and Distillery and how they've never worked harder in their lives.
