@FungusAmungus3 All the best Kelly. It's a rough way to move into retirement. You've generated and shared a lot of knowledge - always appreciate your perspective.

With the cuts we are winding down our program in late winter/spring. I am looking forward to spending time continuing motorcycling on my 1995 BMW K75, doing family genealogy, & keeping up with the neighbours in terms of lawn mowing & snow clearing.

I was up in the Peace River region of Alberta from January 20-23, 2026 visiting colleagues at AAFC Beaverlodge & giving a couple of talks on cereal disease management at the Peace River region agronomy update and for an ag class at Northwest Polytechnic, when we got the news.

From the field to your glass, Canadian malt barley is at the heart of great beer. Happy #CanadianBeerDay from SaskBarley. 🇨🇦🌾 🍻
