Two licences expired, and the CGC issued two others

The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) recently had some licenses expire, and it issued two others.

Last week, licenses expired for two companies.

On May 5, Richardson Pioneer’s Vulcan 2 elevator in Alberta had a licence change.

“Primary elevator licence no longer held,” the CGC’s website says.

This kind of licence goes to “an operator of an elevator which primarily receices grain directly from producers, for either or both storage and forwarding,” the CGC says.

On May 8, Prairie Group Exports in Lestock, Sask., underwent its own license change.

“Grain dealer license no longer held,” according to the CGC.

This type of license is for “a person who, for reward, on his own behalf or the behalf of another person, deals in or handles western grain,” the CGC says.

The CGC also recently issued two licenses.

One went to TA Foods in Yorkton, Sask. on May 5.

This company, which has flax seed processing, oilseed crushing and other services, received a process elevator license.

This license “may be issued to an operator of an elevator which receives and stores grain for direct manufacture or processing into other products.”

That same day, SG Ceresco Inc., a soybean processor in Saint-Urbain-Premier, Que., received a grain dealer license.

A chain harrow is a game changer

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.

Did you know we also operate a small business on the homestead. We make homemade, handcrafted soaps, shampoo bars, hair and beard products in addition to offering our pasture raised pork, lamb, and 100% raw honey. You can find out more about our products and ingredients by visiting our website at www.mimiandpoppysplace.com. There you can shop our products and sign up for our monthly newsletter that highlights a soap or ingredient, gives monthly updates about the homestead, and also lists the markets, festivals, and events we’ll be attending that month.
