The Bovine is back: Producer priorities, policy, and what's ahead for ABP

Send us Fan Mail How does a year packed with activity shape the work of Alberta Beef Producers? Host Kara Mastel is back behind the mic with Brad Dubeau, General Manager of Alberta Beef Producers. Dubeau explains why producer meetings are so important to the organization, why they've returned to the fall schedule, and how ideas raised by producers can eventually become ABP policy. The conversation also covers the Traceability Working Group's recommendation for a voluntary Alberta-based system, ABP's departure from the Canadian Cattle Association and the national structure that followed, and how the organization is building capacity to support producers well into the future. Dubeau wraps up with a look ahead to the December AGM in Red Deer, including ways producers can participate if they can't attend in person.
