Ongoing tensions between Canada and India remain a concern

Trade irritants are always a key concern for the agriculture sector 

The ongoing tensions between India and Canada remain a concern especially for provinces like Saskatchewan that export a large volume of pulses into India. 

AGT Foods is one of the largest suppliers of value-added pulses, staple foods and food ingredients in the world.

Murad Al Katib, President and CEO of AGT Foods says they are closely monitoring the situation.

"I have an optimism that the channels will remain open. You know, in the interim, we are seeing bidders at the farm gate that are pulling back of course. Again it's a volatile situation, we're all watching very carefully. You can't be in a position where you have vessels enroute and the market is to be closed off. "

Residue Management

Video: Residue Management

Residue Management conservation practice manages the amount, orientation, and distribution of crop and other plant residue on the soil surface year-round while limiting soil-disturbing activities used to grow and harvest crops in systems where the field surface is tilled prior to planting. This video explores how Ryan McKenzie implemented this conservation practice on his farm in Samson, Alabama.

Practice benefits:

• Increases organic matter

• Improves air quality

• Decreases energy costs

• Reduces erosion

• Improves soil health

The Conservation at Work video series was created to increase producer awareness of common conservation practices and was filmed at various locations throughout the country. Because conservation plans are specific to the unique resource needs on each farm and also soil type, weather conditions, etc., these videos were designed to serve as a general guide to the benefits of soil and water conservation and landowners should contact their local USDA office for individual consultation.
