OTTAWA, – Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg farmers welcome the passage of Bill C-282, An Act to amend the Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Act (supply management) in the House of Commons. Dairy Farmers of Canada, Egg Farmers of Canada, Chicken Farmers of Canada, Turkey Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers would like to thank the Members of Parliament who supported this critical piece of legislation.

We now call on all Senators to show their support for Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg farmers and the millions of Canadians who value fresh, local, made-in-Canada food items by ensuring Bill C-282’s passage in the Senate and into law. This Bill, carefully studied by the House of Commons Standing Committee of International Trade, would safeguard the sustainability of Canadian dairy, poultry, and egg production by
preventing further market access concessions in future trade agreements. Enacting Bill C-282 into law will not only strengthen and protect Canada’s essential system of supply management; it will present the opportunity to champion growth within Canada’s agricultural sector, and support thousands of jobs and economic activity across our country.

Supply management ensures Canadian dairy, poultry and egg farmers can continue to feed our country with sustainably produced, local, high-quality food now and into the future.

Dairy Farmers of Canada, Egg Farmers of Canada, Chicken Farmers of Canada, Turkey Farmers of Canada and the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers are the voice of farmers in Canada’s dairy, poultry and egg sectors. We are a stabilizing force in rural Canada and a part of Canada’s economic solution, contributing $30.1 billion to the GDP and supporting over 339,000 jobs across Canada.

Video: We Let Dad Drive a 50,000 Pound Dump Truck

There's old hog barns under that field now. The old hog barn site on the farm has been sitting there for decades, and this is the week it finally came out: concrete pad, burn pile, charred lumber, all of it loaded into a CAT 725C rock truck and buried in a pit we dug back in the timber.

Tork's been waiting his whole life to drive one of these, so he gets the keys to a 50,000 pound rock truck and I ride shotgun. The excavator loads, the dozer clears the timber, the drone shows the whole site from above, and by sundown there's nothing left of the old place but a smooth patch of dirt. It's a weird feeling erasing something that was here before either of us, but the farm has to keep moving.
