A federal forage breeder from Nova Scotia is this year’s winner of the Canadian Beef Industry Award for Outstanding Research and Innovation.
Yousef Papadopoulos, a research scientist at Ag Canada’s centre in Truro, N.S., “is known across North America for his contributions to forage development and ruminant livestock sustainability,” said the Beef Cattle Research Council, which created the award in 2015.
Papadopoulos has developed several legume varieties, including AAC Trueman, which can tolerate both flood and drought, and AC Langille, a high yielding, early spring birdsfoot trefoil cultivar.
