Craig Olson, Area Business Manager
Craig Olson wasn’t raised on a farm, but he found his way there fast -- and never looked back.
“As a kid, I spent every chance I could working on friends’ farms,” he says. “That’s where I fell in love with the work, the people, all of it.”
Craig’s been supporting growers in Southern Alberta for over six years as an Area Business Manager. He’s built strong relationships across the region, not just by offering solutions, but by listening and learning.
“The farmers I work with have taught me so much,” Craig says. “Their problem-solving, their generosity and their resilience. It’s had a real impact on me, personally and professionally.”
When the workday ends, Craig trades crop talk for the kitchen. His specialty? Elk jerky and sausage. “It’s a bit of an art form and like farming, it’s something I’ll always be learning.”
Pest Focus: Cabbage Seedpod Weevils
Canola Council of Canada is reporting that Cabbage Seedpod Weevil (CSPW) numbers are trending high in parts of Alberta and Saskatchewan, even in areas without historical pressure. Don’t get caught off guard!
The time to scout for these damaging pests is between 10-30% flower, and if you net over 25 in 10 sweeps an insecticide application is recommended. That being said, you may want to consider lower thresholds in dry conditions.
Since most damage comes from egg-laying in young pods, the goal is to apply insecticide just before significant egg-laying begins — typically when the first pods are about ¾" long, around 20% flower or when the first petals begin to fall. Get more CSPW info from the Canola Council of Canada.
