2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show Sidelined

Nov 19, 2020

Prairieland Park has cancelled the 2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

Lori Cates, Manager of Agriculture for Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation, says the decision has been made in consultation with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and is in light of the growing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the province.

For 37 years Prairieland Park has welcomed producers from across the prairies to Saskatoon, to see the latest in farm equipment and technology. The event was held every January.

Cates says the focus is on the safety and health of their staff, event patrons and the exhibitors and sponsors that attend the show.

She notes they are committed to supporting agriculture in Saskatchewan and look forward to the 2022 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

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.
