Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

By Steve Dittmer March 22, 2018

It’s not so much that the longer this NAFTA negotiation goes on, the less we know. It’s more like the more things we never thought of, or ones we didn’t know we needed to know that come up. For example, now that it is becoming more likely that negotiations are going to drag on for […] Read more

Prime Cuts with Steve Kay: From the March 2017 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Steve Kay March 20, 2017

President Trump quickly shattered any final hopes U.S. cattle producers had that he would relent on his pledges to withdraw the U.S. from the Trans-Pacific Partnership or leave NAFTA alone.

From the March 2017 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Dan Darling March 9, 2017

Those of us in agriculture understand the importance of the industry in terms of economic contribution to Canada’s GDP but oftentimes it seems that clout is overshadowed by other equally key industries. That’s why I was pleased to see agriculture featured prominently in the recent Advisory Council on Economic Growth report. The report, Unleashing the […] Read more
