NCBA supports a strong research title within the 2012 Farm Bill. Farm bill research dollars are used to fund critical scientific studies to improve the health, well-being and sustainability of the U.S. beef cattle industry. NCBA will be encouraging Congress to adequately fund the research title to ensure necessary research is being done to combat emerging diseases, discover new production practices, improve environmental stewardship and improve the long-term viability of America’s cattlemen and women.

NCBA will work with members of Congress to stress the importance of the research title. The organization is fortunate to have members of Congress like U.S. Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) who vocally support the research title. In fact, he says it was a “victory” that Congress was able to sustain funding for research in the 2008 Farm Bill. He says the research title is one very important thing the federal government can do to ensure America’s farmers and ranchers are at the forefront of producing food and fiber for the world.

Video: Best of 2022 - Dairy Farming in Saskatchewan

From seeding to harvesting, we are always busy on our family dairy farm in Saskatchewan,Canada.

We do our best to make quality feed for our cows so they stay healthy and provide the best quality milk (real from a cow).

This year was the first time trying tile drainage on one field. We already noticed how much dryer it is in the low spots and we hope that it improves the salinity issues over time.

It was another dry year but we had much better yields than last year and are grateful that we were able get enough feed.
