Crown lands, disaster aftermath top MBP’s advocacy agenda

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.

Dr. Troy Rowan sits down with CLEAR Conversations host, Tracy Sellers. Dr. Rowan was a featured speaker at the 2025 State of the Science Summit at UC Davis. The event will return next year on June 16-18, 2026, continuing its focus on advancing livestock methane research and collaborative solutions.

Rowan, now an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, grew up surrounded by cattle on his family’s Charolais operation in Iowa. His family has been farming and ranching there for more than a century — long enough for the rhythms of agriculture to get in his blood.
