‘In Saskatchewan, agriculture is a major economic driver and a sector highly dependent on exports,’ the province’s agriculture and trade ministers wrote. ‘We are disappointed that once again Saskatchewan will be negatively impacted by Chinese retaliation.’

Saskatchewan says the federal government must act quickly to resolve a brewing trade dispute with China that could lead to costly new tariffs on Canadian canola.

Video: We’ll NEVER Use These Grain Bins Again!

A huge change is happening on the farm — our new grain bin has officially arrived, and that means we’ll never use some of our old grain bins again. In today's video, we take delivery of the new grain bin, look back at the old bins that have been part of our farm for years, and talk about why this upgrade is such a big deal for harvest, grain storage, and the future of our family farm.

This is more than just a grain bin delivery. It’s the end of an era and the start of a major farm upgrade that will completely change how we handle corn during harvest. From old grain storage to a brand-new bin setup, this project is one of the biggest improvements we’ve made at the farm.

Join me as the new grain bin shows up, the bin project continues, and we prepare for a new chapter in harvest efficiency on our Minnesota family farm.
