Manitoba Beef Producers Update with Carson Callum

Carson Callum is the General Manager with Manitoba Beef Producers.  Carson joined MBP in 2019, and comes with an extension background in agriculture.  He has a Master’s of Science in Agriculture, specifically related to beef cattle. Carson has worked in many areas of the ag sector, and the beef industry is near and dear to him.  He grew up on a small beef farm south of Miami Manitoba.  He now lives in Winnipeg with his family, which includes his wife Britni, and sons Cohen and Sullivan. Carson admits his favorite role in life is fatherhood, but sure enjoys working on behalf of the beef industry as well.

In this episode, Carson updates us on the many provincial and national conversations Manitoba Beef Producers is currently involved with.  Included in these are some current trends in today’s beef industry.  We also discuss the new Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership and funding programs that are available to Manitoba Producers, Resilient Agriculture Landscape Program (RALP) and Sustainable Agriculture Manitoba (SAM).  Further to this, Carson updates us on the Crown Lands Legislation, we discuss carbon credits, MBP advocacy efforts with Bill C282 and other trade concerns and more.
