Requests for producer participation

Olds College is currently conducting research on yardage costs in feedlots and other cattle operations. They are looking for producers to participate in this 10-minute survey.

Olds College is also conducting a research study on preconditioning practices and are looking for producers to participate in the following survey.

The University of Saskatchewan is looking to interview producers on their record-keeping practices. The goal is to better understand how cow-calf producers use production and financial records to manage their ranches and to identify which records are most useful to producers. Individual interviews can be completed over the phone or through an online meeting platform. Interviews are expected to last 45-60 minutes.

As a sign of appreciation for your time, interviewees will receive a $50 Amazon gift card. Interviewees have the right to end participation in the study at any time.

If you are a cow calf producer and would like to be interviewed for this research project, or have questions about the study, please contact Kathy Larson or Eric Micheels. 

ClimateWest is looking for producers to participate in an in-depth discussion on Tuesday, March 23, 2021 from 1-2:30 p.m. MDT. The 90-minute discussion will take place virtually and will be accessible via either internet or phone. For your time, you will be compensated $50.

Your participation in one of our upcoming focus groups will help us to identify current gaps in order to develop agricultural climate services that will be most useful and relevant for the Prairie region. If this sounds like something you may be interested in, please tell us a little bit about yourself via this survey.
