CFO COVID-19 business continuity strategy regarding public health and Ontario’s food supply chain

In this unprecedented and difficult time, we wanted to share with you our current business continuity strategy during the COVID-19 pandemic. 
 
First and foremost, we unequivocally support the health, safety and personal well-being of all CFO staff-associates, our farmer-members and our industry stakeholders.
 
SUPPORTING THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN: 
 
We need to continue to provide Ontarians with access to safe, healthy, high quality chicken.
Farmers and industry are critical to maintaining our food supply and ensuring that our food system remains functional. 
 
WHAT WE’RE DOING TO STAY SAFE: 
  • The CFO Farming Operations Representative (FOR) team is executing every recommended public health and safety precaution when they perform on-farm audits - and we know that we can count on our farmer-members to do the same! 
  • Farmer-members should ensure that they have appropriate hand washing and sanitation facilities available to any industry stakeholder who may need to come to their farm. 
  • Everyone is being asked to be extra vigilant! If you’re feeling unwell suspend on-farm visits, keep your lines of communication open, and make appropriate arrangements as necessary. 
  • CFO has given all staff-associates the option to work from home. Our robust digital capabilities have made this transition incredibly seamless. We are limiting in-person engagements and making use of digital technology wherever possible.
  • The CFO head office remains open! However, we have implemented a ‘Non-Essential Visitor Policy’. Farmers and stakeholders who had plans to visit our office are being asked to postpone or make other arrangements.
We endeavour to keep you informed! Information and public policy surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic is changing at a rapid pace. Please keep current with our website and associated communications.

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.
