Canada's Ag Ministers To Meet Virtually Later This Month

Canada's agriculture ministers will meet virtually November 20th and 27th.
 
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau commented on some of the topics that will be discussed.
 
"Obviously improving AgriStability is a top priority," she said. "We'll have a good conversation on African swine fever. I know we'll talk also about the fees that are now imposed by some big retailers. Always take this opportunity to give an update to our provincial colleagues on the federal responsibilities around international trade, for example, science and innovation."
 
The FPT meeting was postponed twice this year due to COVID-19 and the Saskatchewan election.

Video: Crop duster agplane flying action Conger Minnesota Air Tractor Bell 206 Jet Ranger Airailimages

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.
