Who was Arnold Tremere?
Arnold Tremere, Ph.D. was appointed as the Canadian International Grains Institute first director of Feed and Technology from May 1982 to October 1989, and subsequently was promoted to the position of Executive Director, the highest non-partisan position within the field of Agriculture in the Canadian government. The major defining events during his period as Director included the advent of North American Free Trade Agreement NAFTA in 1989 and signing of the agreement in 1994. New technologies in farm equipment and grain handling, including GPS and the introduction of "Super-Elevators", dramatically changed the day to day experience of Canadian grain producers. Most Canadian agricultural producers were now diversifying away from the traditional crops of wheat, oats and barely to include a much higher percentage of oilseed and specialty crops. These changes called for an expansion of the services and technical areas of support including the addition of the Test Bakery to the infrastructure of C.I.G.I.
