Thieves Steal 400 Tonnes of Corn from a Quebec Farm

Corn Heist the Latest Agriculture Theft in Quebec

By , Farms.com

Quebec seems to be the hotspot when it comes to agricultural-related thefts. Only months after a bizarre maple syrup heist, thieves managed to make off with an estimated 400 tonnes of corn from a farm located near central Quebec.

It appears that the thieves went to great lengths to steal the corn, as they broke fences that were locked and were even able to manage to neutralize the alarm system, which shorted out surveillance cameras. It’s estimated that the crop value of the theft is $140,000.

Several months ago, 16,000 barrels of maple syrup were stolen in St-Louis-de-Blandford.

Today we begin spreading chicken litter on our crop ground for the fast approaching 2025 crop year. With all the bad news in the economy and especially farming economy we are going to do everything we can to keep our cost down to help keep the farm going. This begins with using chicken litter vs commercial fertilizer. Chicken litter is a great source of nutrients and is available in our area so we take advantage of that. Our Ford F-8000 is doing a great job. I can't wait for spring and to start putting some seed in the ground. I hope everyone has a great day. God bless!
