Agriculture Ministers in Mexico for 31st Annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord

The 31st Annual Tri-National Agricultural Accord is being held in Saltillo, Coahuila.

Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister David Marit is leading the Canadian trade and investment mission to Mexico this week. 

He's joined by other provincial agriculture leaders and senior officials from Canada.

The group will meet with their counterparts from the U.S. and Mexican states October 18th and 19th to discuss agricultural trade and development issues and expansion.

Next year's event will take place in Saskatchewan.

During the visit to Mexico, Marit will also be holding meetings in Mexico City to promote the province's trade and investment priorities not only in agriculture, but also critical minerals, like the oil, gas, and mining sectors.

Earlier this year, the Province opened an international office in Mexico City.

It's summertime in Minnesota as a yellow Air Tractor agricultural application aircraft -- a crop duster -- responds to the control inputs of its pilot in a low-altitude dance just above the tops of the cornstalks. Enjoy! And we found a Bell 206 Long Ranger spray helicopter perched on a support truck at the edge of the cornfields, and launching from there. In our video, you can occasionally hear the rotor sounds of the crop-dusting helicopter as we see the yellow Air Tractor in a nearby field.
