FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Farm Business Communications Partners with CFGA
Winnipeg, MB (October 1, 2013)
The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is proud to welcome Farm Business Communications (FBC), a division of Glacier FarmMedia, as a Platinum Partner. "Exposure in Canadian Cattlemen, Country Guide and Le Bulletin des agriculteurs magazines really opens important communication channels for the industry," said Doug Wray, CFGA chair.
"Having this avenue to promote innovative research being done by federal, provincial, and university scientists is an exciting opportunity to add value and sustainability for all stakeholders," said Wray.
"Watch for a new annual Forage and Grassland Guide in March 2014," says Deb Wilson. "It will be a pullable supplement in three of our premier magazines. It's a great opportunity for FBC to support extension and knowledge transfer in every aspect of the forage and grassland industry."
"The forage/grassland industry is so diverse," said Doug Wray. "The FBC partnership strengthens ties between provincial forage and grassland associations, livestock producer associations and the forage exporters to benefit all."
Canada has about 36 million hectares (ha) used for livestock grazing and the production of forage crops in Canada. About 72 percent (26 million ha) is natural grassland supporting biodiversity and shared with Canada's wildlife. Canada exports approximately 600,000 tonnes of forage product annually valued at $150 million.
The Canadian Forage and Grassland Association (CFGA) is the national voice for producers whose livelihoods are dependent upon forage/grassland production.
We are committed to promoting sustainable management and addressing production issues and trade barriers. http://www.canadianfga.ca/
