Yes, we often use the dairy industry as a great example of early adopters of genomic selection technology, bringing economic, environmental and social benefits for the industry. I was so pleased to see the team receive the Industry award at the #CanadianGenomicsSummit
Did you know…
Canada is a world FIRST in using genomic evaluation as a tool to lower the #dairy 🥛 🐄 industry's carbon footprint by reducing emissions without affecting production traits. - Christine Baes

My favourite new acronym here at #CanolaWeek2024 was YEN aka Yield Enhancement Network by @AtlanticGrain @AAFC_Canada. How can we expand this across the country to reap the benefits including yield, uptake of certified seed & new varieties just to name a few.

.@mccanntyler addressed #SeedsCanada2024 today about the risks in falling further behind in regard to ag research. A major takeaway: we must admit there's a problem and embrace change. @CdnAgriFood
I do enjoy a great R&D conversation and look forward to to presenting during the timely topics portion of the agenda. #acceleratedbreeding #innovation #SeedsCanada2024 @globalfoodsecur
So many great conversations at the @Seeds_Canada conference inc. those w. my R&D advocates @CdnAgriFood President @mccanntyler and @ToutNL w. the Global Institute for Food Security. We look forward to hearing from both leaders at the conference.
Together let’s explore an opportunity in oats #partnerwithus
Our Executive Director was at @cfsreginask for @FCCagriculture announcement of a $5 million investment into @globalfoodsecur at @usask to accelerate breeding and innovation for Canadian agriculture. Great news for #CdnAg!

Once again, @PearlsFromMyrna nails it. Take whatever lane you want. Take up space.
Sadly, I’ve heard this phrase spoken by many and it stops innovation in its tracks. Thanks @JodiSouter for the reminder of this dangerous phrase. Keep persevering! @CropLifeCanada
Great to be at the launch of Saskatchewan’s Investment Attraction strategy. Thx @bhp for hosting. At the @globalfoodsecur, we are excited to provide critical innovation assets to grow our global agricultural exports #StrongSustainableSaskatchewan @SKGov

Congratulations to my wheat family on the announcement of the Canadian National Wheat Cluster wheatresearch.ca/news-releas… That is 20 million hard earned dollars going into improving wheat production in Canada. @wheat_research
Always a favourite at research symposiums, the producer panel connecting in research to a path to impact on farm to advance all 3 pillars of sustainability (economic, environmental, social) @barley_research
Gr8 advice from @BoychynJeremy @AlbertaGrains , If you aren’t using data to inform decision making on farm, bias makes its way in! #datascience #PCS2023
Policy Power Panel at #pcs2023. “Investment in R&D enables us to tell our sustainability story” @AlbertaGrains @GrainGrowers @Cereals_Canada @cdagraincouncil #roadto2050
