Chicken, named the official protein of Swimming Canada

Chicken Farmers of Canada snags promotion gig with Swimming Canada

Swimming Canada recently announced a new marketing partnership with Chicken Farmers of Canada. The new deal has Canadian chicken featured as the official protein of Swimming Canada. The declaration was made after Chicken Farmers of Canada made an undisclosed financial donation to the sport.

Director of Marketing and Events at Swimming Canada, Chris Wilson said that the partnership highlights the cooperation between the two organizations, which seek to promote healthy lifestyles. Dave Janzen, Chair of Chicken Farmers of Canada says that his organization is proud to be working on initiatives like this that promote healthy eating and pool safety.

Chicken Farmers of Canada has also launched a contest called “Name the Pool Peeps” to encourage the public to submit name ideas for two “Peeps.” These Peeps will join already named Kicker and Splash mascots in promotional initiatives targeted at younger swimmers.

Video: New colours and more durability for Case IH RB6 round balers

Farmers will see a new look and more efficiency and durability from Case IH's RB6 Series variable chamber round balers for model year 2026. In this report from the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois, Case livestock product specialist Brian Williams notes that the first thing farmers will notice is a new colour scheme. "For the tailgate, the frame, and also the pickup, we've changed to our Case IH red colour. One of the really nice things about changing that colour scheme is that you're able to see that crop flowing into the baler much better from the tractor." There's also changes to the pickup with the addition of a second roller. "On the 566 model, you can get it with the double windrower roller," says Williams. "For our customers that are baling corn stalks or large windrows, it helps to push that windrow down to let that feed into the chamber, so that they're able to bale a little bit faster, because everyone's looking for better efficiency." There are also modifications to the rollers in the bale chamber — the stripper roll and the fixed roll have been combined into a one-piece roller. "There's no welds on those rollers, so the dependability is going to be far greater than our previous model," adds Williams.
