working for the Canola Council of Canada (vice-president
and president), Manitoba Agriculture, Agriculture and Agri-
Food Canada, and DowElanco (now Dow AgroSciences).
Throughout her professional life, Buth said farmers have been
her top priority.
“When I was VP of crop production at the Canola Council, I
always said, ‘it has to go back to the grower,’ because they’re
making the choice of what to grow,” said Buth. “I think it’s
important that Cigi continues to focus on growers and bringing
the value of the Canadian crop to growers.”
Buth believes that by working with other organizations that
promote agriculture to Canadians, Cigi can help showcase the
value of Canadian crops not only to buyers around the world,
but to fellow Canadians.
“Canadians need to understand how important agriculture
is to the economy,” said Buth. “I think there’s a role for Cigi to
provide good information on where Canadian products go in
the world.”
For every tonne of wheat sold to a CGC-licensed company,
$0.15 goes to Cigi. Buth encourages farmers to attend Cigi’s
Combine to Customer programs to see how their check-off
funds are used. This three-day seminar runs several times each
winter and allows farmers to see Cigi in action and learn about
what matters to international buyers.

customers have examined the product, an email is sent to the
