Weekend Weather Alert: Unsettled Conditions Ahead for Western Canada by RRC soundbites

From the show floor to the trade war, hosts Tim Parent and Craig Lester bring together some of the stories Rural Roots Canada has been following for this episode of the RRC podcast.

This week, we recap the energy and excitement of 4-H on Parade at Stamepede Park, featuring voices from young competitors who are building skills, leadership, and lifelong connections. We also dig into growing tensions between Canada and the U.S. over mushrooms, as Mushrooms Canada's Ryan Koeslag explains what new duties could mean for growers, jobs, and grocery bills. Plus, Olivia Taylor sits down with Ag in the Classroom’s Mercedes Unwin to talk about connecting the next generation with Canadian agriculture. Also, we added info on a ticket giveaway for the Cypress Farm and Ranch Show. Be sure to listen for details.

Canadian mushroom growers are warning that new U.S. trade duties on fresh mushroom imports could drive up food prices and threaten jobs on both sides of the border.

In September 2025, the U.S. Department of Commerce launched anti-dumping and countervailing duty investigations into Canadian mushroom exports following a petition from a group of American producers, according to Mushrooms Canada executive vice-president Ryan Koeslag.

Koeslag said the Canadian industry has spent decades investing in technology and production practices, helping expand exports into the United States.

The U.S. has since imposed preliminary duties on fresh Canadian mushrooms, citing general farm tax exemptions and cash-basis accounting practices as reasons for the countervailing measures.
