CFIA traceability rule changes have generated heated, divided reactions, with some producers supporting and others opposing the changes. The conversation is framed around a pause in the process, with CFIA and farm groups calling for it. Sandy Russell of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen's Association is brought in to explain producer concerns, identify whether barriers are overcomeable, and clarify what needs to happen next. Audience feedback is also addressed. The show includes discussion with Cole Ambrock of KWS on hybrid rye and lessons learned from a dry fall, connecting practical crop experience to future planning.
"Maybe one of the most heated, audience-dividing discussions that we have had on RealAg Radio this year in 2026, it has to be the CFIA traceability rule changes. Some of you were for it, some of you were very against it. We've heard feedback from all sides of it. Today we're going to continue the discussion and, uh, try to just try to figure out what's actually going on here as we are on pause, as CFIA and some of the farm groups have called it."
"We'll be talking to Sandy Russell, she's interim CEO of Saskatchewan Cattle Association, and try to get a sense from, from them as a producer organization, what are the concerns, where do they lie, are they overcomeable, are they barriers that we can't figure out, or, and essentially what needs to happen next, where does this go from here."
"So today, because I'm brave, We are going to talk about CFIA traceability changes on top of a bunch of other stuff on RealAg Radio. Let's go find out what the barriers are and what producers want in this new round of consultations. You've seen them, the cartoonish large head farmers with big smiles. What's with the grin? Well, they all know about the multiple benefits that Manipulator PGR provides their wheat, oat, and barley crops."
