Happy Earth Day from Canada Beef. With proper management, cattle can improve the land they graze, benefiting the herd, wildlife + habitat.

Those of you who know John Colwill (c), know that over his career he has dedicated himself to agriculture and more specifically to growing the PEI and regional beef industry. That’s the reason and many more that he has been selected by ABPI to receive the Industry Builder Award.

CCA Statement on Advance Payments Program (APP) Interest-Free Limit Increase to $250,000
The Canadian Cattle Association welcomes the federal government’s announcement to maintain the interest-free portion of the Advance Payments Program (APP) at $250,000 for the 2026 program year, for all non-canola advances.
Ongoing market volatility has heightened the risks producers face when marketing their products. The APP has a long history of providing flexibility to producers so they can avoid selling in market lows due to cash flow constraints. Targeted enhancements to business risk management programs are essential to enabling ranchers and farmers to invest, expand, and sustain their vital contributions to Canada’s economy.
“This support is particularly important for young and early-stage producers who depend on financial tool options to manage cash flow constraints,” said Tyler Fulton, CCA President. “CCA advocated for the increase to the interest-free limit and we’re pleased to see the Government continue to recognize the important role of APP for beef producers.”
While this is welcomed news, the last-minute nature of this announcement is challenging for producers who rely on stable tools for long-term financial planning. Therefore, CCA will continue to advocate for a permanent increase to the interest-free limit to help producers effectively manage their risk. Over the past several years, the federal government has made a series of temporary increases. This further reinforces the statutory $100,000 limit no longer reflects current economic conditions and needs to be permanently updated to reflect today’s business realities.
CCA looks forward to continued discussions with the federal government on strengthening all tools for beef producers, including the Business Risk Management Program suite, as part of the Next Policy Framework.

Canadian beef, pork, and veal are trusted around the world for their quality and safety. Thank you to the Canadian Meat Council for the valuable discussion on growing trade and creating new opportunities across global markets.
Healthy soil is the foundation of Canada’s agriculture sector—and today, we are taking an important step to protect it. Alongside Senator Robert Black, we are announcing the development of Canada’s first-ever National Agricultural Soil Health Strategy.
Canada’s cattle sector is built on generations of hard work and resiliency. It was a pleasure to present the Bettle family with the Environmental Stewardship Award for five generations of sustainable beef farming.
By generating $5.6 billion in economic activity annually and supporting over 18,300 jobs across rural and urban communities, Canada's turkey industry plays a meaningful role in our agri-food system and economic contributions and communities. Great to meet with
@TurkeyFarmersCa.
You can't talk about agriculture without talking about beef.
A great conversation with the @CanCattle this morning; and a pleasure to meet and hear from Allan, representing the next generation of cattle farmers in PEI.

If he’s able, and we pray for that, no one but the recently retired Buck Martinez should throw out the first pitch at the #BlueJays home opener next month. He’s been a franchise icon for most of 44 years. The fans love him. Would be a perfect tribute for the club’s 50th season. #MLB #Rogers #Leafs
