Registered Veterinary Techs AND Best new grain breeding lines

Later this year, the first three students will graduate from the Distance Delivery Option of the Registered Veterinary Technologist Program at SaskPolyTech in Saskatoon, Sask.   These three students were able to take most of their classes online, as well as gaining experience at a local veterinary clinic that provides large animal care services.   Rural areas of Western Canada are not only experiencing a shortage of veterinarians . . . there is also a need for Registered Veterinary Technologists or RVT's. RVT's perform many dutie s and provide valuable assistance to veterinarians.23-year-old Mollie Hastings from Weyburn was the first student accepted into the Distance Delivery Option of the RVT program.  She will talk about her experience. The Prairie Grain Development Committee recently held its annual meeting in Banff. The group evaluated potential new breeding variety lines and recommended the best of the best for registration. This year the Pulse and Special Crops Committee recommended 16 new lentil lines, 13 pea lines, 5 faba bean and 5 dry bean lines for registration.Dr. Glen Hawkins is a Senior Manager and Agronomist with DL Seeds. He also chairs that committee and says there's some great potential coming forward.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
