Evan Burt 🍁

NDSGA Pres. Justin Sherlock & staff met with Evan Burt, Consul & Trade Commissioner for Agriculture at the Consulate General of Canada in Minneapolis, to discuss USMCA & ND soy exports. 🤝🌱 NDSGA supports full renewal of USMCA to keep markets open & predictable for ND farmers.

Canada buys ~30% of Minnesota's ag exports & is a top supplier of ag products+potash to MN. Consul @EvanBurt spoke at the MN Farm Bureau Board & the @MNFarmersUnion convention to highlight the Canada-MN ag partnership & benefits of #USMCA. Let's keep a good thing growing!

Thank you @bluejays for an unforgettable season. You made Canada proud right to the very end. 🇨🇦💙

Let’s just take a moment to savour this one… 🇨🇦⚾️ #WANTITALL

September 30 is National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and #OrangeShirtDay. We honour the resilience of residential school Survivors and remember the children who never came home. Together, we commit to truth, reconciliation, and a future where #EveryChildMatters.

We extend our deepest sympathies to the people of Minneapolis in the wake of the heartbreaking tragedy at Annunciation church and school. In times like these, borders fade, and our shared humanity binds us together. Canadians are holding you in our hearts.

I had the opportunity to visit with Manitoba’s Minister of Agriculture, Ron Kostyshyn, and his staff. Every year, the @IowaStateFair brings together people from across the agriculture community, and it’s always great to see those connections being made.

Happy to meet up with Senator Sweeney and Manitoba Minister of Agriculture Ron Kostyshyn here at the fair. There’s no better celebration of agriculture than the @IowaStateFair, bringing ag leaders from across the world!

We’re pleased to greet a delegation from Manitoba at the Iowa Pork Tent today, including Minister of Agriculture Ron Kostyshyn. Manitoba is the largest pork producing & export province in Canada. We appreciate our friends to the north & welcome them to the #IowaStateFair.
