CCA Reports, from the January 2025 issue of Canadian Cattlemen
These update columns have generally been about what the CCA is doing to optimize markets, regulations, legislation and the overall industry conditions for beef cattle producers. I thought a bit more of the “how” we do those things would be of interest. A good portion of our policy work focuses on Ottawa. New or up-for-renewal […] Read more
Progress made in Canada’s cattle industry with work to be done
CCA Reports, from the December 2024 issue of Canadian Cattlemen
This time last year, I wrote about our continued advocacy efforts to expand price insurance to the Maritimes. In 2024, price insurance became available and is the first step to helping current producers and the next generation in the region. The next step that we’re working on is cost-shared premiums, equitable to crop insurance. Federal […] Read more
