The sustainable farm AND Invigor Gold mustard


Listen Later

Farm Credit Canada (FCC) wants to reward farmers for using practices that make the farm environmentally friendly.


FCC released its Sustainable Finance Framework, outlining how they will invest $1.9 billion by the year 2030, to help producers increase their farm's resilience to weather challenges, increase productivity, and ensure it's a long-term viable operation.

Marie-Claude Bourgie is the Vice-President of Sustainability for FCC.
She explains the sustainable financing is incentive-based and applies to FCC customers.

The Saskatchewan Mustard Development Commission will have a key item on the agenda of its annual general meeting.

Chair of the Board Norm Hall says they will be discussing BASF's Invigor Gold variety of mustard.
Invigor Gold is a canola quality mustard and is able to cross pollinate with brown and oriental mustard.
BASF says Invigor Gold will be more drought tolerant than regular canola, but the mustard industry says it will put Canadian mustard sales in jeopardy.
