Canadian Western Agribition Another Success

Organizers for Canadian Western Agribition are extremely pleased with this year’s show.
 
While the official numbers aren’t in yet, CEO Chris Lane says it was another great event that saw a lot of business taking place in the show, sales rings, and barns.
 
“We're really happy with the show this year, it's been a good week. We had people right out of the gate, you know, eager to do business which is always a great sign. Cattle in the ring have looked excellent, sales are doing well. I mean, you know, we're just so happy and proud of all the people that come to spend their time with us.”
 
President Chris Lees says there was some strong numbers in the sales rings which were highlighted with an Angus heifer selling for over $90 thousand dollars.
 
The 2020 Edition of Canadian Western Agribition - the 50th Show - runs November 30th to December 5th next year.
 
Kim Hextall is the Committee Chair for the 50th show.
 
“On our 50th show we are going to have all 12 breeds, will have their national shows here at Agribition and that's never happened anywhere before. I think the breeds are all excited about that as well. I think it'll be interesting to see how many entries we get, I’m sure the barns will be very full.”

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
