More emphasis is being put on agricultural programming

Oct 31, 2022

The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is expanding its agricultural programming for 2023.

Applications are now being accepted for the new Bachelor of Science in Food Industry Management degree.

Students can enter the BSc in Food Industry Management program directly from high school or transfer in from another post-secondary program.

Classes will begin in September 2023 and will cover food science, agri-food economics, food management practices, and food industry policy.

Dr. Darren Korber, Head of Food and Bioproduct Sciences at USask says students will be able to work in a variety of careers in the agri-food sector from food operations manager, to food policy and regulatory analyst, to food industry entrepreneur to food processor and product development consultant.

Video: The Corn Looks Good!

Border View Farms is a mid-sized family farm that sits on the Ohio-Michigan border. My name is Nathan. I make and edit all of the videos posted here. I farm with my dad, Mark and uncle, Phil. We also have a part-time employee, Brock. My dad started the farm in 1980. Since then we have grown the operation from just a couple hundred acres to over 3,000. Watch my 500th video for a history of our farm I filmed with my dad.

I started making these videos in the fall of 2019 as a way to help show what I do on a daily basis as a farmer. Agriculture is different from any other industry and I believe the more people that are showing their small piece of agriculture, helps to build our story. We face unique challenges and stressful situations but have some of the most rewarding payoffs in the end. I get to spend everyday doing what I love, raising my kids on the farm, and trying to push our farm to be better every year. I hope that I can address questions or concerns that you might have about farms and agriculture.

I hope you enjoy my content and ask questions as you have them. I do my best to answer anything I can. Thanks for watching!
