Crown lands, disaster aftermath top MBP’s advocacy agenda

Nov 07, 2022

Agricultural Crown lands continue to be a top priority for the Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP), says general manager Carson Callum.

This is an important file for MBP,” he said. “MBP continues to advocate in our submissions for things like the continuation of unit transfers, adjustment to the auction process, and better ways to value the leaseholder improvements.”

Callum was speaking at the South Interlake Rockwood Ag Society on Oct. 19 during the first of eight MBP district meetings that will run through Nov. 8.

Beef producers will get the overview of their provincial industry association’s activities last year and where things sit with the files on MBP’s plate.

Video: Turning Data into Better Decisions: BioCV's Intelligent Monitoring System for Modern Pork Producers

In this exclusive interview, Jens Kjaer, CEO of BioCV Inc., discusses the North American launch of the BioCV Intelligent Sow Monitoring System and how advanced sensor technology and machine learning are changing the way producers manage sow herds. Using smart ear tags that continuously monitor temperature, behavior, and movement, the system provides real-time alerts for heat detection, farrowing, fever, lameness, and other critical health events—often before they become visible to barn staff.

Kjaer explains how the technology helps producers improve breeding efficiency, reduce non-productive days, identify health challenges earlier, and better support sows during farrowing. He also shares how BioCV's predictive analytics can help operations optimize labor, improve piglet survival, reduce sow losses, and enhance overall productivity in today's increasingly data-driven swine industry.

Learn how this innovative technology is giving producers actionable insights on every sow, every day, helping teams move from reactive management to proactive decision-making while improving both animal welfare and profitability. www.biocv.info/lisa-sow
