Mark you calendars for SaskCanola’s AGM

SaskCanola’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) is scheduled for Tuesday January 10, 2023 at 12 NOON at Prairieland Park in Saskatoon, in conjunction with other crop commissions in the province. Lunch, sponsored by SaskCanola, will be served beforehand at 11:30 AM.

The purpose of the AGM is to review audited financials and activities from the previous year, including research investments, policy and advocacy initiatives, and grower programs. To help growers plan for the 2023 growing season, market analyst Chuck Penner will present his insights on the state of commodity markets – with a focus on canola, flax and barley.

Registered canola producers are eligible to vote on motions and resolutions. Registered canola producers are those who have grown and sold canola in Saskatchewan in the last two years and have not requested a refund in the previous year.

Anyone interested in bringing forward a resolution to the AGM is encouraged to reach out to the SaskCanola office by phone at 306-975-0262 or by email at info@saskcanola.com.

SPECIAL SESSIONS

Monday – Gord Kurbis and Corey Loessin

What is happening at the PMRA? Matador/Silencer concerns for 2023

Despite having all the data to re-issue the label for lambda-cyhalothrin on grains for feed use, PMRA only maintained the use of commonly known Matador/Silencer on crops destined for the human food market – creating an unmanageable situation for farmers and industry to manage. This session will help to provide some detail on what the complications are with the PMRA and what is being done to re-instate the use of this valuable crop protection tool for farmers.

Tuesday – Dave Meslin
