Happy New Year! On the new season of the Rural Roots Canada podcast, powered by Alberta Canola, it’s a busy start to 2026 for RRC!

Craig Lester is heading back on the road, preparing for the Alberta Seed Producers Conference, the Ag Services Board Conference, and Crossroads as farmers gear up for new season of growing. Meanwhile, Tim Parent dives into some of the biggest stories shaping Canadian agriculture, including Prime Minister Mark Carney’s upcoming trip to China, where canola and trade are high on the agenda. The two also discuss new leadership at the Canadian Cattle Association and a record-breaking 2025 for Alberta Open Farm Days.

It’s a full slate of stories that capture the pulse of rural Canada, as we kick off a new year in Canadian agriculture at Rural Roots Canada.
