Tyler and Dorelle along with their kids Evan and Mae own and operate Tyton Farm Ltd, a 600 head cow/calf/backgrounding operation south of Birtle, MB. 

The farm operates about 6000 acres in prairie pothole country, which consists of mostly tame pasture, hay, and some annual crops. Tyler has spent most of his off-farm career in the field of livestock price risk management after he received a degree in Agribusiness from the University of Manitoba.  He is passionate about improving the tools and programs available for cattle producers to manage risk on their operations.

Tyler currently serves as a Director with Manitoba Beef Producers and as the Vice-President of the Canadian Cattle Association.

In this episode, Tyler shares a bit about his experience as the Vice-President with the Canadian Cattle Association and past-president with Manitoba Beef Producers.

We then dive into risk mitigation tools producers can use to protect their bottom line. Tyler has used the Livestock Price Insurance Program for many years an urgers producers to look into the program both for the economic benefits, but also the confidence and peace of mind aspects as well. 

Along with LPI, we discuss forage and pasture insurance, the AgriStability program and other programs that can assist Manitoba producers in their risk management strategies.

The research programs and daily operations at MBFI would not be possible without the funding from the Province of Manitoba, Government of Canada, and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, as well as the partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC).
