ABP sees opportunity for accurate ag education materials

We are disappointed to see the anti-feedlot bias being shared in some educational materials in Alberta, as reported in a recent Western Producer article: Anti-feedlot bias found in Alta. school materials.

One of ABP’s continued priorities in working with government is advocating for accurate and informative agricultural education. 

Teachers interested in educational materials around beef and cattle in the classroom can find them through Ag in the Classroom and on Alberta Beef Producers’ dedicated education site.
