A newly launched initiative aimed at advancing Canada's position as a leader in cereal grain innovation has been given a considerable funding boost from four Canadian grain grower organizations. The Global Agriculture Technology Exchange (Gate) Capital Campaign, led by Cereals Canada, has secured $13.4 million from Alberta Grains, Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat), Manitoba Crop Alliance, and Grain Farmers of Ontario. That brings its total funding commitment to just over $18 million, with a project fundraising goal of $102 million. The GATE initiative is a visionary project looking to establish a cutting-edge facility in Winnipeg that will serve as a hub for agricultural innovation providing farmers with the tools, resources, and technical support they need to be competitive globally and remain leaders in agricultural exports. Greg Sears, farmer and Alberta Grains Region 6 Director, said the organization's ongoing commitment to advancing ag-tech and innovation aligns perfectly with the Gate initiative and expects there will be tangible results for farmers. “Producers need to understand this is a multi-generational investment ensuring Canada's profile as producers of high-quality, sustainably produced wheat and barley remains intact for our customers,” he said. “That sets all of us up as producers for many years to come.” For more on this story go to ruralrootscanada.com

In this week's episode, Tracy speaks with Greg Bartley and Ian Epp about the Keep it Clean initiative. The quality and reputation of Canadian canola, cereals, and pulses are amongst the best in the world, and Canadian growers work hard to produce crops to the highest standard. As Canadian producers, we have an essential role in protecting Canada's reputation as a trusted supplier and maintaining access to key export markets.  How? By ensuring the crops, we grow are market-ready. In today's episode, Tracy speaks with Greg and Ian about: The Keep it Clean initiative. What it is, and why was it launched? They discuss the importance of our export markets and how because most of what we grow is exported, maintaining market access is of vital importance for Canada. Greg and Ian share how our on-farm practices DO make a difference. To avoid unacceptable residue levels in the grain, it's critical that we keep it clean – use only acceptable crop protection products and use them correctly. They share the Keep it Clean 5 Simple Tips with our audience and encourage our audience to follow these tips to protect the marketability of our crops and reduce the risk of rejected shipments due to residues that exceed maximum residue limits (MRLs). Unsure of the MRLs and best practices? That is where the Keep it Clean initiative, and information portal comes in. Producers can visit www.keepitclean.ca to access handy tools and key resources such as the Product Advisory List, the disease severity scale for Blackleg, the Spray to Swath Interval Calculator, and many more great resources.
