Greetings fellow CSBE members and friends,

It has been a year since I became the CSBE president. Throughout the year, we’ve again overcome more COVID-19 waves. Nevertheless, the CSBE society has always demonstrated positivity, optimism, and hope. One historical accomplishment this year was our society’s name change. We extend our many thanks to the Name Change Committee for making this happen. Among the wonderful memories I’ve made this year, my favourites are from interaction with students. I had the privilege to meet the local (Manitoba) CSBE Student Chapter, celebrated the outstanding achievement of the Canadian ¼ scale tractor teams, and participated in CSBE Student networking within the 2021 ASABE International Conference.
