Who bought it ffs ?

Ted Nedjelski Karen Turner

One of my first jobs was apple grading in a packing plant in Vernon

Vivian, is this where you worked?

I’d hear the company that owns the big Cannabis company that owns the green houses all around this packing plant was buying up everything around to expand. Wonder if it’s them that got it.

The federal government has committed $1.81 million over the next three years to support the BC Poultry Association's preparation for direct participation in responses to future outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza in the province. “The persistence of the virus in wildlife and recurrence of outbreaks globally, presents additional risks during the migratory bird season in North America later in 2023,” the National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health in Vancouver advised in July.

Agrilyze Builds Software for Precision Agriculture

September 30, 2020 byChona Canlas, Agrilyze - Sponsored Content

Abbotsford-based i-Open Group of Companies has launched Agrilyze, BC’s first data analytics portal for precision agriculture. Agrilyze is an innovative platform that functions as a singular hub, accessible from any mobile device, that helps farmers with land use management, compliance, traceability, and sustainability, while providing high-quality data to local farmers, researchers and governments across Canada and Latin America.

With a strong focus on agritech and the supply chain, Agrilyze uses subscription-based imagery to visualize information received from different sources, allowing farmers to work more effectively, increase profits, optimize productivity and improve efficiency in day-to-day operations.

Agriculture plays a central role in the Fraser Valley economy. With its one-of-a-kind soil, temperate climate and proximity to large markets, the majestic Fraser Valley is considered Canada’s farm country paradise. Indeed, it is ranked first in the province’s agricultural economy, generating over $1 billion in annual revenue year over year.

With that reputation, there is an increased demand for technologies that will allow farmers to see that their investments are being paid back tenfold. Technology is not a “one size fits all” model, and as a company, Agrilyze is equipped to help farmers find the best outcome for their farm. Transitioning toward a technology-based system takes time, and the Agrilyze team is here to provide context and create correlations that make sense.

For customers, Agrilyze maps, SaaS technology and data analytics reveal a unique and synergistic approach to environmental challenges. Farmers can find real insight – better understand specific parts of their operation, uncover new opportunities in the field, predict future trends – all of which will help drive decisions that will provide more revenue for the farm.

So far, Agrilyze has brought together the local tech and agriculture industries to collaborate and find AI-driven sustainable solutions for local and global food systems. The platform is easy to use and doesn’t require installation. Simply create an account, and farmers can begin to make significant changes to their operations immediately. Together, we can use technology to care for our farms, communities, the land, water and natural resources.
