2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show Sidelined

Prairieland Park has cancelled the 2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.
 
Lori Cates, Manager of Agriculture for Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation, says the  decision has been made in consultation with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and is in light of the growing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the province.
 
For 37 years Prairieland Park has welcomed producers from across the prairies to Saskatoon, to see the latest in farm equipment and technology. The event was held every January.
 
Cates says the focus is on the safety and health of their staff, event patrons and the exhibitors and sponsors that attend the show.
 
She notes they are committed to supporting agriculture in Saskatchewan and look forward to the 2022 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

Video: Secure Pork Supply Plan | Prepare to Protect Your Herd | U.S. Pork Producers

Join Jill Brokaw, a third-generation pig farmer, as she dives into the vital role of the Secure Pork Supply (SPS) Plan in preparing the U.S. pork industry for potential foreign animal disease outbreaks. This video is an essential watch for pork producers who are looking to safeguard their operations against the threats of diseases like foot and mouth disease, classical swine fever, and African swine fever. Why Should Pork Producers Care? An outbreak of foreign animal diseases in the U.S. could lead to severe restrictions and potentially result in industry-wide financial losses estimated between $15 to $100 billion. The SPS Plan is a collective effort to prevent such catastrophic outcomes by enhancing biosecurity, ensuring animal traceability, and promoting effective disease monitoring.
