The CMBTC just wrapped up a first class malting barley crop tour. Very informative and great networking with 50+ attending, including over a dozen from abroad! Well done @canadianbarley

I worked for 20 years in "Big Ag" so you don’t have to. This is what they don’t want you to know:

Farmers don’t have time for conspiracy theories.

Romanticize farming all you want, but without modern tools, you’d starve.

GM crops aren't frankenfood.

They cut pesticide use, resist drought, and improve yields, all while passing some of the strictest safety checks in science.

They are the least unknown crops.

Your food is safe. Period.
Pesticides are tested more rigorously than most medicines.

Farming isn’t killing the planet.

Modern farming uses less land, less water, and fewer inputs than ever before. Innovation is the solution, not the problem.

Organic farming still use pesticides. Some are more toxic and less effective than synthetic alternatives, meaning higher doses are needed.

If you really care about feeding the world and protecting the planet, focus on facts, not fear.

My name is Simon and my goal is to make people smarter, not angrier.

Drop a “Hi” in the comments and let me know if you have any questions about Ag!

Did you know that at 46% of the price, Canada has the highest beer taxes of any G7 country and that they increase automatically annually without a vote in Parliament. We think that’s sneaky and underhanded. Automatic is not democratic.

Canada’s barley value chain including farmers, breeders, seed companies and maltsters, urges the federal government to review their proposed nearly 5% beer tax increase as a clear signal of support for this very Canadian industry. #HereForBeer https://t.co/O0ke2Wsj7g @BarleyCanada @AAFC_Canada @GrainGrowers @GrainFarmers @canadianbarley

Happy #NationalPieDay! After taxes Canadian brewers have about 50% of the retail price to produce, market, deliver and promote their brands. Canada already has the highest beer taxes in the G7 and Ottawa is planning on another nearly 5% tax hike on April 1st. #HereForBeer

The Microsoft Excel Championship wrapped in Las Vegas last weekend.

Andrew “The Annihilator” Ngai won his 3rd straight title.

The Australian actuary beat 14 opponents in various 30-minute case study challenges.

Funniest part: this clip of live-stream announcers losing their minds over pivot tables and data labeling.

What did Ngai get for winning? A $15k cash prize and a glorious Wrestling Championship Belt 😂

Minister @cafreeland’s #FES fails to provide needed relief from upcoming 4.7% beer tax hike making life less affordable for hard working Canadians and undermining support for brewery and hospitality workers. #cndpoli #HereforBeer
