The Olive industry is concerned changes to health star ratings on all food packaging, could damage its reputation. The five star health rating labels on all Australian packaged food could become mandatory. But the Australian Olive Association says under the current model, processed oils like Canola and Sunflower could be rated higher than olive oil. Rural Editor Emily Minney spoke with Chief Executive Michael Southan about the industry's concerns.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Confirmation of glufosinate resistance in waterhemp in the U.S. is a troubling sign for a key tool for managing weeds in canola and soybeans.

Episode 506 dives into soil nutrition and the real-world decisions behind soil testing with Jace Whitehead of EnviroAg Laboratories, an OSU Plant & Soil Sciences grad who built a soil testing lab from his hometown roots and now supports producers across the Southern Plains. The crew breaks down what soil test “extractions” actually measure, why Mehlich-3 and Bray phosphorus numbers can disagree (especially in low pH soils), and why saturated paste is equal parts chemistry and “perfect brownie mix.” They also sort through base saturation talk, potassium response drivers, rooting depth, and why tissue test numbers can swing with weather more than soil supply.Up front, you'll also hear a quick crop update recorded at the Oklahoma Cattle Conference: wheat and canola are starting to respond, diamondback moths are showing up in canola, and the big message for 2026 is to protect flexibility—make informed fertility calls, watch moisture conditions, and don't spend like it's a “maximum yield” year if the economics don't pencil.10 TakeawaysIn 2026 economics, flexibility matters—don't lock in every fertility decision early.Use in-rich strips and real field info to guide N rates, especially in a “cost-cutting year.”Phosphorus is the troublemaker: pH and soil chemistry can make test results look contradictory.Mehlich-3 vs Bray disagreements often come down to what chemical pools each extractant can access.If pH is low, fix that first—otherwise you can “chase P” without getting the response you expect.Saturated paste is useful for salinity/salt issues, but it's a technique-sensitive, “art + science” test.Base saturation ratios sound appealing, but often don't pay to chase compared to bigger constraints.Heavy clay and shallow rooting can masquerade as “cation ratio problems”—look for the real limiting factor.Potassium response may be tied to rooting zone depth/limitations more than a simple top-6-inch soil test.Tissue test numbers can swing with the environment; treat them as clues, not automatic prescriptions.Timestamped Rundown00:00:00–00:01:35 — Welcome + episode setupDave previews the topic: soil nutrition deep dive and an interview with Jace Whitehead, OSU Plant & Soil Sciences alum and soil-testing lab owner.00:01:35–00:22:44 — Crop update (recorded Feb. 13, 2026)Wheat/canola starting to respond; moisture “patchy,” with rain hopes and a reminder not to overreact early.Nitrogen timing: don't feel forced to put “all eggs in the basket” early; use information and flexibility.Push for in-rich strips and better decision-making in a “cost-cutting year.”Pre-plant planning: soil test now for summer crops; consider partial replacement strategies on P & K if economics demand it.Canola scouting note: diamondback moth reports.Market reality check: wheat may look good but price is weak; “hot crops” might be four-legged.00:22:44–00:24:30 — Guest introductionBrian introduces Jace Whitehead and the unusual path: starting a soils lab and building sample volume through precision ag services.00:24:30–00:29:30 — Environmental testing + saturated pasteJace explains oilfield-related soil testing and salinity work; one-to-one extracts and saturated paste use cases.Brian's saturated paste explanation: “perfect brownie mix” consistency as the endpoint.00:29:30–00:36:10 — Why phosphorus tests disagree (Mehlich vs Bray)Jace raises a producer-facing problem: Bray numbers low at low pH while Mehlich can run higher.Brian breaks down the chemistry: extractants differ in what forms they pull, and acidity complicates interpretation.Practical takeaway: address pH first; be cautious about overconfidence in a single number.00:36:10–00:40:45 — Business realities + soil trendsJace talks scale (thousands of samples/year) and why “one-off” conversations are hard to fund at low per-sample pricing.Trend discussion: rotation can drive better management attention to pH and nutrients; canola helped push rotation thinking.00:40:45–00:49:30 — Base saturation, K response, and rooting depthBase saturation & ratios: strong theory, but often weak economic payoff to chase in practice.High-magnesium soils: often a “correlation not causation” story tied to heavy clay/rooting restrictions.Big idea: we've over-focused on a 6-inch slice; better fertility management looks at the rooting zone and limiting layers.Tech wish list: on-the-go tools (even GPR-style concepts) to map depth/limitations.00:49:30–00:57:15 — What it means for producers + tissue testing reality“Find trusted advisors” who can handle both plant and soil chemistry questions, and keep asking questions.Tissue tests: Brian explains how nutrient concentrations can swing with weather/conditions, making blanket recs risky.

Canadian canola groups say the federal government's decision to close multiple Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) research centres and slash hundreds of jobs across the country is a major blow to Canadian agriculture. "Anytime we lose research capacity, it's hugely disappointing for everybody," Alberta Canola chair Andre Harpe tells Rural Roots Canada.

In this week's agricultural podcast we are joined by Commbank's International Economist Carol Kong who discusses her latest paper on the Chinese economy. For more frequent updates you find Carol Kong and Dennis Voznesenski on LinkedIn, or search Voz_Dennis on X/Twitter.

It's been just two weeks since Ottawa struck a new trade deal with China, and already China is buying Canadian canola. Shipments are set to resume in February. The move is a major relief for Prairie farmers, signaling strong demand and renewed stability for canola exports. Stuart Smyth, professor in the Department of Agricultural and Resource Economics at the University of Saskatchewan joins the show.

Canada has been lockstep with the U-S when it comes to trade policy with China for years.Last week, that changed. PM Mark Carney's new tariff deal with China will allow 49,000 Chinese EVs into the country every year for three years at a dramatically-slashed tariff of only 6.1 per cent—in exchange for a reduced tariff on canola seeds, lobster, crab and other agricultural products exported to China.It's a deal that's earning praise from the prairies but disdain in Ontario.Host Cristina Howorun sits down with Flavio Volpe, President of the Automotive Parts Manufacturing Association and one of the architects of CUSMA, to discuss the implications this deal could have on the EV market, the 90,000 jobs in the auto sector and tariff and trade negotiations with the States. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes. You can find us:Through email at hello@thebigstorypodcast.ca Or @thebigstory.bsky.social on Bluesky

Did PM Mark Carney's "Canola for EVs" deal with China really split Canadians? Auto workers in Ontario may not love lifting tariffs on Chinese EVs, but that doesn't make it the wrong move, argues Supriya Dwivedi (3:00).

In this episode of The Food Professor Podcast, Michael LeBlanc and Dr. Sylvain Charlebois deliver a wide-ranging discussion on the forces reshaping food, retail, and consumer behaviour—before sitting down with one of Canada's most dynamic food entrepreneurs, Suzie Yorke, CEO and Founder of The Little Cacao Company.The episode opens with insights from New York City, where Michael reports from NRF Big Show, highlighting how retail continues to blend hospitality, entertainment, and commerce. From Tecovas' in-store bar concept to Printemps' alcohol-free champagne experience, the hosts explore how experiential retail is redefining consumer engagement. The conversation then shifts to quick-service restaurants, where McDonald's decision to freeze value meal pricing underscores growing pressure on restaurant traffic amid economic uncertainty. Sylvain explains why this price war reflects defensive strategy rather than growth, while noting the strain rising costs place on supply chains—from coffee to beef.Broader macro themes follow, including climate data, forest fires, and their often-misunderstood impact on agriculture and food policy. The hosts debate alarmist climate narratives, the reliability of long-term data, and the risks of poorly designed policies that can penalize farmers and processors. The episode also touches on Aldi's aggressive U.S. expansion, Amazon's underestimated grocery scale, and Canada's evolving trade posture with China—particularly as agriculture remains entangled in geopolitics and tariff negotiations.The heart of the episode is a candid, high-energy interview with Suzie Yorke, a veteran brand builder turned founder on a mission to fundamentally rethink chocolate. Yorke traces her journey from engineering to senior marketing roles at major CPG firms, to launching breakout brands like Love Good Fats, and ultimately founding The Little Cacao Company. She explains why cacao is one of the world's most powerful antioxidant superfoods—and how decades of sugar, poor fats, and aggressive processing stripped it of its nutritional potential.Yorke also shares hard-earned lessons from scaling food startups through the volatile pre- and post-COVID investment cycles, including the importance of founder-led execution, disciplined economics, and authentic consumer connection. She discusses how protein, fibre, and low-sugar formulations position her chocolate for a world shaped by GLP-1 drugs, health-driven indulgence, and changing cravings. Equally compelling is her perspective on leadership, resilience, and representation—using her platform to champion inclusivity while proving that innovation doesn't have an expiration date.  About UsDr. Sylvain Charlebois is a Visiting Professor in Food Policy and Distribution at McGill University and a Professor in Food Distribution and Policy in the Faculty of Management at Dalhousie University in Halifax.

Recorded live at KNID AgriFest in Enid from the Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth, Episode 501 launches Season 5 with a fast-paced crop check and a whole lot of agronomy banter. Dave Deken sits down with Brian Arnall and Josh Lofton to talk January wheat realities: dry conditions, odd winter insect pressure, and early reports of wheat diseases showing up sooner than anyone wants. They also hit canola concerns—like that purple color—and what to inspect right now (new leaves and crown health) as everyone looks ahead to green-up.Next, it's go-time thinking for topdress: why timing, weather, and surface conditions matter—especially when warm days, wind, and dew can increase nitrogen losses. Then the conversation turns into a practical deep dive on plant physiology and decision-making: primordia (the “cells in waiting”), how early-season stress can differ from true deficiency, and why chasing genetic potential without respecting environmental limits can hurt ROI. If you like your agronomy with real-world nuance (and a little friendly arguing), this one's for you!Top 10 takeawaysJanuary crop scouting can be misleading—weather swings can make fields look great or “go backwards” fast.Warm winter + dry stretch = unusual pest pressure, including armyworms in wheat.Early disease reports (tan spot, rust, powdery mildew) mean don't assume “it's too early.”For canola right now, focus on new leaves and crown—that's your “are we okay today?” check.Green-up moisture is the hinge point for both wheat tillering and canola recovery.Topdress timing is a system problem (acres, co-op schedules) and a weather-loss problem (dew + warm + wind).If conditions are right to lose N (dry soil + dew/humidity + wind), waiting can be the most profitable move.A lot of management is about what's happening inside the plant—primordia/cell division—before you ever see it.Stress can be useful; deficiency is where you start giving away yield potential—context (stage/goal) matters.The “right” program depends on your risk profile: protecting max yield vs protecting ROI on inputs.Detailed timestamped rundown00:00–01:15 — Welcome to Episode 501 + Season 5 vibes; shoutout to AgriFest and the Wheat Commission cinnamon-roll traffic.01:16–01:55 — Introductions: Dave Deken with Dr. Brian Arnall and Dr. Josh Lofton; “we were arguing in our office earlier…”01:46–02:10 — Recorded Jan 9, 2026 at the Oklahoma Wheat Commission booth during AgriFest in Enid.02:10–03:05 — Cinnamon roll banter + meeting listeners at the booth.03:07–04:20 — Crop update headline: it's January, it hasn't rained, it feels like June; armyworms in wheat; disease confirmations in SW OK.05:01–06:20 — Canola check: purple color mystery; focus on new leaves + crown health “right now.”06:35–08:10 — “Magic windows” talk: green-up moisture is critical for canola and wheat tillering.09:03–10:30 — Rooting + grazing: planting timing affects anchoring; some fields pull easier under cattle.10:45–12:55 — Topdress season starts early for many; best efficiency late Jan–March; avoid warm/windy/dewy days that can increase N loss (they cite “blow off 15–25%”).13:00–16:55 — What if winter doesn't get cold? Daylength and growth timing; discussion on how wide the N window really is.17:00–22:10 — OSU NPK blog topic: managing “primordia” (cells-in-prep), not just what you see aboveground.22:10–25:20 — Corn example: by V6 you've set rows/potential kernels; stress/deficiency can reduce grain number.28:50–41:10 — Main debate: stress vs deficiency, “leaf deficient but not the plant,” and Liebig's Law barrel analogy.44:20–48:10 — Genetic vs environmental potential, realized yield; precision vs accuracy; risk aversion (yield loss vs input cost).49:40–50:17 — Wrap + resources at reddirtagronomy.com.

Harmful fats can be incredibly damaging to your health! Find out about the most dangerous fat to remove from your diet immediately and which healthy fats to replace it with. Ditch the unhealthy fats today! 0:00 Introduction: The worst fats for health0:19 Unhealthy fats explained0:53 Monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats2:02 What are hydrogenated fats?3:11 Saturated fat3:50 Side effects of unhealthy fats 8:57 The most dangerous fat11:48 The benefits of healthy fatWhat are the unhealthiest types of fats? Let's take a look. Saturated fats are very stable and don't react much to oxygen because they don't have double bonds.Fats with double bonds are more unstable and react more readily with oxygen, resulting in increased oxidation. Monounsaturated fats have one double bond, while polyunsaturated fats have many double bonds. More double bonds mean more oxidation. Avocado and olive oil are monounsaturated fats, so they're moderately stable. Polyunsaturated fats, such as corn oil, sunflower oil, safflower oil, soy oil, canola oil, and cottonseed oil, contain many double bonds, so they're unstable and prone to significant oxidation. Hydrogenated oils are unsaturated fats that have been chemically turned into saturated fats. Saturated fats such as lard, tallow, and butter are solid at room temperature and are very stable. Although they are unsaturated fats, fish oil and cod liver oil have potent anti-inflammatory benefits and omega-3s, but can sometimes be rancid due to their instability. Be careful where you source them!Heat and light create toxic byproducts in unsaturated fats called aldehydes. These toxic compounds destroy your DNA, lodge in your cell membranes, and damage the insulin receptors on the surface of your cells. They can also make your cells stiff and fragile. For years, saturated fats have been demonized, and unsaturated fats have been recommended! This has also occurred with other foods, such as red meat and grains. Check out this comprehensive list, which ranges from the most harmful fats to the healthiest. Number 1 is the most dangerous! 1. Partially hydrogenated fat2. Hydrogenated fat3. Reused PUFA frying oil4. Soy oil5. Corn oil6. Sunflower oil or safflower oil7. Cottonseed oil8. Canola oil9. Grapeseed oil10. Rice bran oil11. Peanut oil12. Refined avocado oil13.
