Here’s Friday’s edition of RealAg Radio, hosted by Kara Oosterhuis and Kelvin Heppner:

  • With current heatwave, concerns about drought and heat stress are mounting.
  • Kevin Grier chats with Kelvin about the 9-month run of food price deflation in Canada, as well as the uptick in consumer spending on food.
  • John Malott of Hiram Walker discusses what’s new in whisky-making and how it ties in with new hybrid rye varieties available to growers.
  • As part of the TechTour series, Manitoba farmer Landon Friesen discusses applications for drones beyond the epic photography.
