Ag Industry Coalition Submitting Recommendations To CTA Review Panel

A coalition of Canadian agricultural groups has banded together to submit recommendations to the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) review.
 
This group, which represents the vast majority of shippers of bulk and processed grains and a broad cross-section of grower funded organizations, believes that the current rail system is not meeting the needs of producers and exporters.
 
One of the coalition's recommendations is to improve transparency with regards to the capacity and operation of the rail freight system by improving the CTA's access to information.
 
The coalition is also asking that a permanent advisory board composed of stakeholders representing all primary rail user groups assist in the establishment of the new monitor's operating terms of reference and to guide its activities on an on-going basis.

Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.

?? Join us daily for life on a working sheep farm, from flock management and breeding strategies to crops, chores, and the everyday rhythm of farm life.
