Milk Pricing Announcement

The Canadian Dairy Commission (CDC) announced a slight decrease in the farmgate price of milk. The supply management system in dairy operates in such a way that when production costs go up at the farm (taking into account any changes to the consumer price index), this can be reflected in the price of the milk at farmgate. Conversely when production costs go down, so can the price of milk entering the supply chain, as is the case now,” said David Wiens, President of Dairy Farmers of Canada. “The National Pricing Formula will be applied on February 1st, 2025, once approved by provincial authorities.”

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
