Alberta Beef Producers Call For Delegates

Cattle producers who want to take a more active role in representing the industry have until midnight Thursday, October 15th to submit their nomination papers for the Alberta Beef Producers.
 
The grassroots producer organization has been going through some structural and operational changes including moving from nine zones down to five.
 
ABP is currently looking to elect seven delegates in five zones - the Northwest, Northeast, Central, Southwest and Southeast. Four of the delegates in each zone will serve two-year terms, while three will serve one-year terms.
 
Given the current COVID-19 restrictions the Alberta Beef Producer Meetings are moving to an online format for this year.
 
Delegate elections will be held by mail-in ballot or online voting.
 
An election voting package will be mailed out to all eligible producers with more details.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
