Yes, we often use the dairy industry as a great example of early adopters of genomic selection technology, bringing economic, environmental and social benefits for the industry. I was so pleased to see the team receive the Industry award at the #CanadianGenomicsSummit

Did you know…
Canada is a world FIRST in using genomic evaluation as a tool to lower the #dairy 🥛 🐄 industry's carbon footprint by reducing emissions without affecting production traits. - Christine Baes

My favourite new acronym here at #CanolaWeek2024 was YEN aka Yield Enhancement Network by @AtlanticGrain @AAFC_Canada. How can we expand this across the country to reap the benefits including yield, uptake of certified seed & new varieties just to name a few.

.@mccanntyler addressed #SeedsCanada2024 today about the risks in falling further behind in regard to ag research. A major takeaway: we must admit there's a problem and embrace change. @CdnAgriFood

Once again, @PearlsFromMyrna nails it. Take whatever lane you want. Take up space.

Dear Graduating Ladies,
Never let a millionaire who isn’t even 30 lecture you about “staying in your lane.”
Hop in your Buick, put on that turn signal, and merge onto your own highway.
Sincerely,
Aunt Myrna

Sadly, I’ve heard this phrase spoken by many and it stops innovation in its tracks. Thanks @JodiSouter for the reminder of this dangerous phrase. Keep persevering! @CropLifeCanada

Gr8 advice from @BoychynJeremy @AlbertaGrains , If you aren’t using data to inform decision making on farm, bias makes its way in! #datascience #PCS2023
