What does everyone think of the powow down in Calgary that is the beginning of a series of meetings to develop direction for George and the gang at Alberta Agriculture?
Five groups met with the government on the 16th of October including Beef Initiative Group Canada, Western Stock Growers, Alberta Cattle Feeders Asoociation, the Feeders Associations of Alberta, and Alberta Beef Producers.
Sounds like it was a pretty lively meeting with the overwhelming majority (4 to 1) in support of sending George over to Japan as of yesterday with a loaded question about BSE testing for every government official he bumps in to. Seems that the only group still persistent enough to fight the testing issue were the current ABP representatives. Still worried about pissing off the Americans and having our industry take a tumble. OH MY GOODNESS.
