Canadian Produce Marketing Association Urges Federal Government to Ratify New NAFTA

The Canadian Produce Marketing Association is urging the federal government to quickly ratify the new NAFTA.
 
The plea comes after the new deal was passed by the US Senate on Thursday. It's already been approved by Mexico.
 
The association says that since the first NAFTA came online in 1994, Canadian fresh fruit and vegetable exports to Mexico and the US increased by nearly 400 per cent. It says this growth is indicative of the importance of tariff-free trade and the integration of the Canadian marketplace within North America.

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
