March is Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month! Did you know that 100g of cooked beef provides 35g of high-quality protein, 10g of fat, 250 calories, and 0g carbohydrates? Understanding the nutritional value of the food we raise helps Canadians make informed choices at the table. Beef is a nutrient-dense source of protein that supports balanced diets and active lifestyles. Behind every serving is the dedication of Canadian cattle producers—caring for their animals, stewarding the land, and producing safe, high-quality beef for families across the country. This month, let’s celebrate the farmers and ranchers who help feed our communities and share the story of Canadian agriculture!

Canadian Agricultural Safety Week A train can take up to 2 kilometres to come to a complete stop. That means if a train engineer sees a vehicle or piece of equipment on the tracks, they may not be able to stop in time. Many farms operate near rail lines or use private railway crossings to move equipment and livestock. During busy seasons especially, it’s important to slow down and take a moment to stop, look, and listen before crossing the tracks. Taking those extra few seconds can help prevent serious incidents and keep everyone safe on the farm. Farm safety includes rail safety. #CASW #FarmSafetyEveryday

Last week CCA President Tyler Fulton appeared at the Standing Committee on International Trade and was asked about expanding market access for Canadian beef. He explained that markets such as China and Qatar present an opportunity for cuts that are less desirable to Canadian consumers.

Farmers are 5 times more likely to die from a workplace accident than workers in other industries. Agriculture is one of the most rewarding careers—but it also comes with real risks. Long hours, powerful machinery, livestock, and unpredictable conditions all make safety on the farm essential. During Canadian Agricultural Safety Week, March 15-21, it's a good reminder that taking a few extra minutes for safety can make a life-saving difference. Whether it's maintaining equipment, wearing proper protective gear, or making sure everyone knows the plan for the day, every step toward safety matters. Because protecting our farms means protecting the people who run them.

March is Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month! Did you Know? Cattle are natural recyclers. They can convert grasses and plants that humans can’t eat into high-quality protein. Much of the land used for grazing cattle grows grasses and forage that aren’t suitable for people to eat directly. Thanks to their unique digestive system, cattle are able to break down these plants and turn them into nutritious beef. It’s just one example of how livestock play an important role in our food system. From pasture to plate, cattle help turn grass into food.

March is Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month! Did you Know? The majority of the land used for grazing cattle in Canada can’t grow crops. Much of Canada’s pasture and rangeland is too rocky, dry, steep, or fragile for growing grains or vegetables. But cattle are uniquely able to turn grasses and forage that people can’t eat into nutritious, high-quality protein. That means beef production helps make productive use of land that would otherwise not be able to produce food. Agriculture is more than just crops — livestock play an important role too. #CALM2026

March is Canadian Agriculture Literacy Month Did you know a serving of beef is just 75 grams—about the size of a deck of cards? Understanding where our food comes from and what proper portions look like helps Canadians make informed choices at the table. Canadian ranchers are proud to raise high-quality beef while caring for the land and their animals. Ag literacy starts with us. This month, let’s continue showcasing the dedication that goes into raising Canadian beef. #AgLiteracyMonth #CanadianAgriculture #Cdnbeef

“The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) welcomes the federal government’s announcement that pasture‑related feed costs will be recognized as allowable expenses under AgriStability beginning in the 2026 program year. This announcement confirms the commitments announced by the Minister last fall. “This improvement will make AgriStability more responsive for cattle producers who utilize rented pastureland. CCA will work closely with government to understand implementation details while continuing to advocate for additional program enhancements that bring program allowable expenses closer to what producers experience on the ground, especially in drought situations. “As discussions begin on the Next Policy Framework, CCA will continue to advocate for a permanent increase to the AgriStability $3 million payment cap that has been in place since the program’s inception.” —Tyler Fulton, CCA President

The #GC announced amended AgriStability guidelines, adding pasture-related feed costs as an allowable expense, starting in the 2026 program year. This change ensures stronger support for farmers who rely on rented pastureland to graze their livestock. ow.ly/9AZn50YlZL3
