In this episode, we dive deep into how agricultural policies—both good and bad—shape the landscape of farming in Manitoba and beyond.

We’ll explore the far-reaching impacts of these policies on producers, consumers, the environment, and government. How do regulations and supports affect farmers' ability to thrive? What do these policies mean for food security, environmental sustainability, and the economy?

Joined by two expert voices in Manitoba agriculture: Cam Dahl, General Manager of the Manitoba Pork Council, and Kurt Siemens, a third-generation Egg Farmer.

Together, they share firsthand insights on how policy decisions directly influence their operations, the broader agricultural sector, and the everyday lives of Manitobans.
