We’re almost at the halfway point for 2007 and already this year CIGI has implemented a Executive number of ‘firsts’ in its program and technical activities. These initiatives are wide-ranging, Director’s from our first biodiesel courses in Western Canada, to our first food barley program, to 2 Message innovative work in our technology areas including, for the first time, a project with the Special Ontario Wheat Producers’ Marketing Board.

CIGI & Industry CIGI does not work alone in these efforts. In particular the involvement of a wide cross- 9 News section of industry resources in our programs each year represents a significant contribution of time and expertise. Please take a moment to look at the special section in this issue that acknowledges the many individuals and organizations who took time out from busy Feature schedules in 2006 to provide CIGI participants with the kind of insight and information that 12 is only available from those working in the industry day-to-day. At a time when issues like grain quality and the safety of food and feed ingredients are top of mind with customers and consumers, the importance of opportunities to promote and enhance Canada’s Technology reputation as a trusted, reliable supplier is ever increasing. The industry as a whole benefits 16 from this collaboration and I thank you for your time and ongoing commitment. I also want to acknowledge the work of two individuals who were long-time members Programs of CIGI’s board of directors.

  • Innovative New Weather Network Sprouts from Prairie Soil
    INNOVATIVE NEW WEATHER NETWORK SPROUTS FROM PRAIRIE SOIL WeatherBug launches first major national network in Canada Winnipeg, Manitoba – – An extensive network of hundreds of weather-monitoring stations is about to spring up across Western Canada. Farmers, grain companies, schools, businesses and government agencies will work together across the Prairies to build a weather network linked through the Internet, providing invaluable up-to-the-minute, local weather information. The new weather network was launched today by WeatherBug®, the world's leading provider of local weather information, in partnership with the Canadian Wheat Board (CWB) and Pioneer Grain, a subsidiary of James Richardson International (JRI). The project was conceived and initiated by the CWB's weather and crop surveillance department as a benefit to western Canadian farmers. Enabled by WeatherBug's proprietary networking technology and operational capabilities, the network in Canada will deliver accurate weather information for Prairie farmers, professional users and consumers. "Access to weather information has major financial benefits for farmers, whether they're spraying valuable chemicals, predicting yields or pinpointing a farm management problem," CWB President and CEO Greg Arason said. "This network will also improve information used by CWB analysts to market farmers' grain for maximum return." Pioneer Grain will install weather stations at its ag business centers all across Western Canada. "By sharing data from the weather stations, we will be better positioned to help producers with important crop management decisions" said JRI President Curt Vossen. "Once the network is installed, producers will be able to access accurate local weather information through our Web site at www.pioneergrain.com.

  • END of an ERA Roger Gibbins Retires After 14 Years at the Helm of the Canada West Foundation
    WINDOW ON THE 2012 MAY WEST www.cwf.ca western canadian policy matters END OF AN ERA Roger Gibbins retires after 14 years at the helm of the Canada West Foundation > Unlocking Manitoba’s Transportation Gateway > Reflections on a Dynamic and Prosperous West > Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel A Strong West in a Strong Canada The Canada West Foundation is the only think tank dedicated to being the objective voice for public policy issues of vital concern to western Canadians. Sometimes these issues are unique to the West, but more often they resonate right across Canada. We are resolutely nonpartisan. We let the research do the talking rather than rely on predetermined positions. Our goals are straightforward: better government policy; a prosperous West in a prosperous Canada; fair treatment of all regions in the federation; and a strong democracy based on open debate and meaningful citizen engagement. Over the past 40 years, our research and recommendations have advanced all four of these goals. We are a source of ideas and information. We are a facilitator of discussion and civic participation. We give the people of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba a voice. A voice for their aspirations, interests and concerns. As westerners, we understand the people and the places of the West. We know our history and how it influences our future. Whether it is the economy, energy, environment, education, healthcare, taxes, social services, urban issues, intergovernmental relations or any other policy area of importance to the West, we have researched it, commented on it, stimulated debate about it and recommended practical options for improving the policy response—all from a uniquely western point of view.

  • Grain and Feed Annual Report - Canada 2012
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Required Report - public distribution 04/03/2012 Date: CA12014 GAIN Report Number: Canada Grain and Feed Annual 2012 Approved By: Robin Gray Prepared By: Darlene Dessureault Report Highlights: The open-market for western Canadian wheat and barley begins August 1, 2012. The Canadian industry is expected to adjust relatively quickly since the infrastructure already exists as western Canadian farmers were producing and marketing non-board grains as well as grains under the mandate of the Canadian Wheat Board. Unlike in 2011-2012, spring seeding conditions for the 2012-2013 crops look very favorable. Economics and crop rotations will be the deciding factors for Canadian farmers this spring. Total production of wheat, barley oats and corn is forecast to be 49.8 MMT, an increase of almost 7% over the previous year's total of 46.7 MMT. The expectation of good weather is forecast to result in average to above average quality grain. Grain and Feed Annual Report - Canada 2012 Executive Summary: 2012-2013 2012-2013 heralds a new era of wheat and barley marketing for western Canadian grain producers. For the first time in nearly 70 years, the western Canadian wheat and barley markets will be operating in an open-market environment due to the Canadian Wheat Board losing its single-desk authority and beginning its transition to a commercial entity on August 1, 2012. Unlike in 2011-2012, spring seeding conditions look very favorable. Economics and crop rotations will be the deciding factors for Canadian farmers this spring.
