ABP Staff is hard at work on projects to move the needle for producers. Stay in the loop with upcoming projects and programs in our core focus areas.

Government

We are seeing progress as we continue conversations and collaboration with AFSC on making the AgriStability pilot program more accessible and responsive to the needs of cattle producers.

Research and production

Over the next couple of months, the Research Committee will be seeking peer reviews for full proposals requested by ABP as part of the Agriculture Funding Consortium research council.

Stakeholder

With Producer Meetings around the corner, we’ve opened up Delegate Nominations. Check out our FAQ page to learn more about being a delegate, or send it along to someone you think would be an incredible representative for their zone.

Marketing

We are celebrating 150 years of Alberta Beef! Stay tuned to our social media channels and events page for contests and amazing prizes – get ready to show off how you celebrate with Alberta Beef.
