@jasonreiny says it’s time for Canada to finish consulting and start moving on plant breeding reform. The longer we take, the more we risk losing the advantage and expertise we have. This is On The Brink, Season 3: Episode 9.

Soybeans on soybeans. What did it cost us? Same soybean variety, same seeding date, but a 9 bushel per acre yield difference! We're taking a closer look at how crop rotation may have influenced this year's results and why crop history matters. #soybeans #croprotation #harvest26 #mbag #farming #agronomy

This harvest season, many producers across Canada are navigating rain delays, quality losses, and financial uncertainty. Five ways to navigate a season of loss and grief: 1) A difficult harvest is a real loss, and grief is a reasonable response. 2) Acknowledge the season before moving on 3) Talk to those around you about what's happening 4) Use your body as a guide for how you're doing. 5) Find understanding in shared experience If you or someone you know needs support, find crisis lines, ag-informed counselling, and mental health resources at hubs.ly/Q04z5cjZ0 #CdnAg #MentalHealthMatters

@SeCan members have $1.7 billion invested in seed infrastructure, says Jeff Reid. How can we grow an independent industry that doesn't have the same budgets as the multinationals? Invest smarter, together. This is On The Brink, S3 E6.

Lower yields, lower royalties. Successful varieties, more funding for future breeding. Could end point royalties work for Canada? Sarah Weigum of Alect Seeds makes the case. This is On The Brink, Season 3: Episode 5

A failed crop can cost a farmer millions. Breeding programs can spend millions on varieties growers never adopt. Kelly Barany of @chinridge says farmers and breeders can reduce both risks by talking earlier about what a variety needs to do. This is On The Brink S3 E4.
