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. "

No-Till vs Tillage: Why Neighboring Fields Are World Apart

Video: No-Till vs Tillage: Why Neighboring Fields Are World Apart

“No-till means no yield.”

“No-till soils get too hard.”

But here’s the real story — straight from two fields, same soil, same region, totally different outcomes.

Ray Archuleta of Kiss the Ground and Common Ground Film lays it out simply:

Tillage is intrusive.

No-till can compact — but only when it’s missing living roots.

Cover crops are the difference-maker.

In one field:

No-till + covers ? dark soil, aggregates, biology, higher organic matter, fewer weeds.

In the other:

Heavy tillage + no covers ? starving soil, low diversity, more weeds, fragile structure.

The truth about compaction?

Living plants fix it.

Living roots leak carbon, build aggregates, feed microbes, and rebuild structure — something steel never can.
