Canadian Beef Producers Now Competing With Australia

Australia has become a competitor for Canadian beef producers.
 
Michael Young is president of Canada Beef.
 
"Traditionally, it's been just the Americans that we competed against but since BSE the Australian sector has moved into the grain fed category and they've since fully developed it," he said. "We run into them everywhere. They put a good product in the box. We need to compete against it, there's nothing wrong with it but there are attributes, sort of emotional and functional attributes, that are associated with Canadian beef that are appealing to some of the markets that we're in."
 
Young spoke last week in Brandon at Manitoba Beef Producers' AGM.
 
He also talked about how the reduction of the swine herd in China due to African swine fever is opening up opportunities for other protein sources, such as beef.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
