CARBON-ERA SERIES
These days, led by the proactive push of governments and industry and the willingness to engage by producers on their lands, we all are increasingly immersed in a rapidly-moving Carbon Era as producers, agriculture groups, industry, conservation orgs and governments focus on sequestering carbon via agricultural practices across Canada’s Prairie region. In our MFGA Carbon-Era Series, we are hoping to tackle some of the uncertainties, myths and questions around carbon to help producers better understand their options, potential and next moves in the fast-moving dialogues around carbon and farmers.
ON-FARM THOUGHTS
This Blog began after MFGA held a Covid-19-reduced Annual General Meeting online November 3, 2020. At the MFGA AGM, our MFGA executive had a chance to share their reports and thoughts on the year that was and the year ahead. Larry Wegner decided to share that report to the membership on December 31, adding a Blog on “where we go from here”. And so the tradition continues with contributions from other MFGA members as well.
