The Canadian Dairy Commission has announced a 2.8% increase in the price producers receive for milk as of February 1, 2027. This is less than the 3.6% increase the industry's national pricing formula recommended, as producer efficiencies and cattle sales helped offset some inflation-related costs. The approved price increase for dairy is in line with consumer price inflation while below the rate of inflation for other food categories. The price increase must be approved by each province, with BC making its pricing decision by November #BCAg#BCAg ... See MoreSee Less

This is certainly a nice thing for the Dairy guys to have that support. Some sectors seem to be a little bit behind in recognizing the rising input costs in other ag industries.

For those south of you ….whats your farm pay price?

Do you provide work permit and visa sponsorship for non-EU candidates currently residing outside the Canada?

May God bless all the Farmers!!!!❤️

Well this will be all over the news !!! Hope they will also talk about our price increases we have been absorbing for the last year !!!

And then they will announce our trucking goes up 5%. Happens every time

Beekman Auctions raised more than $14,000 Wednesday night for Tiny Strong Together to help purchase new equipment for the maternity ward at Chilliwack General Hospital. The money was raised during a live auction at Chilliwack's Heritage Park held in conjunction with a free dinner serving about 1,500 people. The auction -- a new addition to the annual supper event -- was led by auctioneer Ken Friesen and featured sponsored prizes like Abbotsford Canucks tickets, gift cards, cakes and a special-edition Carhartt Beekman hoodie. "We get great support from the community," says Beekman's Gary Baars.

At BC Sheep Federation's annual conference in Coombs this weekend, BC Meats president Bonnie Windsor said BC's Best Butcher competition was created more than three years ago because, "We are so short on butchers everywhere. We need to get more people in the industry." She added the competition encourages butchers to think differently about whole carcass use by giving participants unusual cuts like pork legs. "I want to challenge them," she told sheep producers. She also wants to see restaurants think about whole carcasses, rather than "leaving the industry saddled."

I recognize that hair. You’re rooms are ready here.😊

This is well said! I love being a part of the the BC meats community, and the BC Best Butcher Competition!

My son is a journeyman meat cutter (TRU grad). Highest wage with 10+ years experience is $26/hr. Hard to promote a skilled trade when wages are not competitive.

Premier David Eby has promised to loosen local-sourcing rules for food processors in the ALR if re-elected, even before results of the province’s public consultation have been released. The BC Agriculture Council says the pledge undermines a process farmers took part in good faith. Today's Farm News Update from Country Life in BC looks at where the parties stand on agriculture ahead of the October 24 vote. www.countrylifeinbc.com/premier-called-out-over-alr-pledge/

But he doesn't support local organizations that allow residents to grow their own food like the Blenkinsop Community Agricultural Centre

The party that gets rid of unnecessary and restrictive farm related rules in the ALR is the one that would get my support

Didn’t need a campaign to do this, you had a majority.

We can only hope.

Yes, but based on history, can you believe him?

🤡

I don’t trust him so it doesn’t matter what he says 🤷‍♀️

Ndp has had a decade to fix the alr and alc, too little too late. Eby's time is up

Does he even understand the ALR and it's limitations? Doesn't appear that he does..

End EB!!!

Protect the ALR. Vote Green
