Canadian Canola Growers Association Drop Admin Fee

Farmers are getting a break on cash advance loans available through the Canadian Canola Growers Association.
 
President Rick White says the $50 administration fee is being eliminated for the 2020 spring cash advance program.
 
The advance is available for over 50 crop and livestock commodities as well as honey. Farmers can apply for a cash advance up to $100,000 interest-free and a maximum of $1,000,000. The interest-bearing portion will see a further reduction to prime less than .75 per cent. The application period is open and farmers could see the first advances issued on April 1.

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
