Ron Lyseng has covered cutting edge ag technology, starting shortly after receiving his journalism degree from the University of Minnesota, Moorhead.

He continued reporting on new technology for Grainews, then a second stint with Manitoba Ag where he focused on seeding, tillage and innovations accompanying the emerging zero till movement. Over the decades, Lyseng has prepared and raced a variety of sports cars and open-wheel formula cars, including a Porsche 911S with which he won the Prairie Region Championship and placed second in the National Championship. Lyseng joined The Western Producer in 1998 when he conceived of and co-produced FARMING magazine, and later moved into the roduction section of The Western Producer where he continues reporting as the Producer’s Technology Analyst.
David Rourke
Presentation: Innovation on the Farm: One Farmer’s Journey
Overview: Listen in on a conversation with David Rourke, a Manitoba farmer, researcher and author who has repeatedly re-invented his farm business over the past four decades to pursue his business, ecological and ethical goals. Hear about his decision-making matrix and the measures he uses to gauge success. Hosted by Laura Rance-Unger, Vice President of Content for Glacier FarmMedia.
Profile: David Rourke grew up in the city but decided at a young age to pursue a career in agriculture. Shortly after he graduated from the University of Manitoba in 1980 with his Masters degree in plant science, he and his wife Diane began their farm career together doing contract research on 300 rented acres near Minto, Manitoba. They currently own and operate 6,000 acres in partnership with their adult children. David has recently published his first book "A Road to Fossil Free Farming" in which he re-imagines farming as a climate change solution. From conducting contract research, to no-till cropping, to livestock production, investigation of renewable fuels and alternative farming systems, David has always set the bar high, but never hesitated to shift his thinking to accommodate new information or a change in direction.
