Dear eNGOs: One day the public will figure out that you don’t really care about it’s health or the environment; that your business models aren’t about solving problems or building for better. Your business models are about tearing things down and monetizing disinformation.

One of our Crop Science Canada shatter nurseries after passage of our “Shatter Inducing Machine”. Easy to see the more susceptible border compared to our SC+ pipeline.

Minimum/zero till cropping, enabled by technologies including herbicide tolerance and, yes, Roundup are good for the environment. "Saskatchewan’s carbon footprint to produce one tonne of canola is 67 per cent lower than the global weighted average". #AgTwitter

In this case, it's about a harmless food additive, yet it's a great example of how regulatory decisions in one geography don't mean bad decisions are made locally.

Just some of the samples being judged today for the AG EXPO & North American Seed Fair seed fair. Saw equipment moving into the new @YQLagrifoodhub in Lethbridge, should be a great show next week.

Have to admit, after witnessing the huge success of artificial insemination at the farm for over five decades, the headline had me initially scratching my head. #AcronymConfusion

Had the day off and decided to take the inflatable boat for an outing on Beauvais Lake. Didn’t realize it was a 5.8km round trip until later. #ArmDay

Proud of the breeding team's efforts and resulting overhaul of commercial hybrid portfolio in recent years. This investment will solidify the momentum for the long term.
