Stocks discussed: (NYSE:VFC) (TSXV:GAME)

Apparel giant V.F. Corporation (NYSE:VFC) has announced additional employee support and enterprise protection strategies amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This includes a 50 percent reduction in CEO Steve Rendle’s base salary, a 25 percent reduction in the Executive Leadership Team’s salary and the assurance that retail employees will receive full pay and benefits while retail locations remain closed until May 3. Company CEO Steve Rendle said:

"Throughout VF’s storied 120-year history, we’ve weathered many storms, and each time we’ve emerged as a stronger company with a renewed sense of focus and determination. The full breadth of actions we’re taking in response to the COVID-19 situation are intended to not only address the challenges of today, but also to position our brands and businesses to thrive in the years ahead as we build on VF’s proud legacy."

Torque Esports Corp. (TSXV:GAME), and its tournament organizing arm UMG Media Ltd.,  have made a programming syndication agreement with Blake Broadcasting, giving them a potential global audience. According to the press release, “UMG's range of live-streamed esports competitions and series will now be shown globally on Blake networks across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region.” Blake Broadcasting CEO Bob Blake explained:

"The live content pipeline, especially in sports, all but dried up overnight. Torque & UMG Gaming already had a strong portfolio of competitive gaming content, from virtual motorsports to traditional series and remote competitions. The quality of Torque's programming and deep experience and history made the decision easy.”

Olympic Flame Removed from Display, Qualifying Athletes for Tokyo 2020 to Keep Spot in Rescheduled 2021 Games

The Olympic flame has been removed from display, according to a report from the Associated Press. Originally intended to remain on display through April, the flame was taken down as part of the Japanese government’s effort to limit large gatherings so as to combat the spread of COVID-19. Organizers told the publication:

“Tokyo 2020 will now keep the flame in an undisclosed location to prevent people from gathering.”

Elsewhere the AP reports that the roughly 6,500 athletes who qualified for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo will get to keep their spots for the rescheduled games in 2021. This comes from an announcement by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), which affirmed that “athlete health is the guiding principle in the scheduling of any remaining Olympic qualification events.”

Sustainable #Agriculture #Stocks Added to Directory; Also new stocks in #Sports, #Cannabis and #RealEstate


Sustainable #Agriculture #Stocks Added to Directory;  
Also new stocks in #Sports,  #Cannabis and #RealEstate 







Point Roberts WA, Delta BC, April 3, 2020 – (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global news source and leading investor resource announces its weekly roundup of stocks added to its global stock directories, including agriculture, sports, cannabis and real estate.


The newest companies added to the agriculture stock list are all involved in sustainable agriculture and include crop protection, environmental potash mining, increased food production and a food and agriculture ETF.

The latest sports companies are involved in esport/sports venues and a sports equipment/fitness class company.

The newest cannabis company operates in the US and EU while the latest real estate company is an REIT.

New Stocks added to Agriculture stocks directory:
Imaflex Inc. (TSXV: IFX.V) is focused on the development and manufacturing of innovative solutions for the flexible packaging space. Concurrently, the Corporation develops and manufactures films for the agriculture industry. The Corporation's products consist primarily of polyethylene (plastic) film and bags, including metalized plastic film, for the industrial, agricultural and consumer markets.  Headquartered in Montreal, Quebec, Imaflex has manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States. Today, agricultural films are used in the growing of fresh fruits and vegetables worldwide to cover soil treated with fumigants – volatile and toxic pesticides essential for reducing pests, weeds and fungi in the soil, thus supporting good growth of new crop seedlings. The original EPA approved ADVASEAL® (ADVASEAL® HSM), contained only a herbicide for weed control. The new enhanced ADVASEAL® under development also includes fungicides and a nematicide to control soil borne pathogens, thus becoming a complete non-fumigant alternative for soil disinfestation. With ADVASEAL®, modern non-volatile crop protection products can be applied more effectively and safely than with fumigants. The crop protection products are incorporated into a coating, which is then applied to a mulch film. Once the coated film is applied to the ground the active ingredients are released into the soil under controlled conditions, preventing the over/under-dosing found with current soil disinfestation practices. This new technology dramatically reduces the amount of crop protection products required. The catalyst to trigger the release of the active ingredients is soil moisture. When the film is applied to the soil, they are efficiently and safely discharged into the ground, resulting in heightened productivity, lower costs and notable environmental benefits.   

Gensource Potash Corporation (TSX:GSP.V) is a fertilizer development company based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan and is on track to become the next fertilizer production company in that province. With a small scale and environmentally leading approach to potash production, Gensource believes its technical and business model will be the future of the industry. Gensource operates under a business plan that has two key components: (1) vertical integration with the market to ensure that all production capacity built is directed, and pre-sold, to a specific market, eliminating market-side risk; and (2) technical innovation which will allow for a small and economic potash production facility, that demonstrates environmental leadership within the industry, producing no salt tailings, therefore eliminating decommissioning risk, and requiring no surface brine ponds, thereby removing the single largest and negative environmental aspect of potash mining.

Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTRTSX: NTR.TO) is the world's largest provider of crop inputs and services, playing a critical role in helping growers increase food production in a sustainable manner. We produce and distribute 25 million tonnes of potash, nitrogen and phosphate products world-wide.

We operate with a long-term view and are committed to working with our stakeholders as we address our economic, environmental and social priorities. The scale and diversity of our integrated portfolio provides a stable earnings base, multiple avenues for growth and the opportunity to return capital to shareholders.

The Defiance Next Gen Food and Agriculture ETF (NYSE: DIET) Defiance ETFs is a low-cost* thematic ETF provider focusing on the Next Generation of investors. The DIET ETF provides exposure to companies that are focused on technologies like alternative plant-based sources of meat, such as Beyond Meat (BYND), seed modification, sustainable farming and irrigation techniques.
