Manitoba Canola Growers Pass Resolution Advocating For Export Sales Reporting Program

Feb 12, 2021

One resolution was passed Thursday during the virtual Annual General Meeting for the Manitoba Canola Growers Association (MCGA). Below is a copy of the resolution:

Whereas grain markets function best when all parties have access to the same sales information.

Whereas there are currently gaps in the market knowledge for canola and other crops grown in Western Canada.

Whereas Canada currently does not have mandatory export sales data reporting like producers have access to in the USA and a significant portion of Canadian canola seed, oil and meal is exported.

Be it resolved that MCGA work with other commissions and organizations to advocate for the establishment of an Export Sales Reporting Program where all sales over the set minimum volume for canola seed, oil and meal, and other crops, must be reported daily to be compiled weekly and released in a timely fashion, to add valuable knowledge to aid producers in marketing of their production.

"Having a mandatory export sales reporting will give farmers more market information," said resolution mover Roh Krahn. "Better decisions are made by farmers when we have transparency in the markets. Passing this resolution gives strength in numbers and more widespread requests of government to make this mandatory reporting happen."

Alltech has introduced Olerix, an innovative phytogenic blend created to promote growth and feed efficiency in pigs. Through a proprietary coating process, the bioactive blend of phytogenic compounds used in Olerix is designed to outlast the manufacturing process, ensuring consistent outcomes from feed to finish. The result is a high-impact efficiency solution that provides consistent support for gut health, feed efficiency, immune function and growth performance. Olerix is backed by validated trials conducted under modern pork production conditions.

“As the industry searches for technology to drive profitability forward in a more sustainable manner, we’re thrilled to join that effort with our Olerix technology,” said Mark Hulsebus, general manager for U.S. pork at Alltech. “Our work in this phytogenic space is yielding very encouraging results, and we’re excited to make this new opportunity available to pork producers focused on optimizing feed efficiency and growth rates.”

“Olerix represents the next generation of phytogenic technology — combining feed efficiency, livability and immune support into a practical commercial solution producers can implement today,” said Andy Rash, U.S. monogastric director at Alltech.
