Drought Support for Manitoba Livestock Producers

Federal, provincial and territorial (FPT) Ministers of Agriculture have reached agreement on the five-year Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership policy framework. Governments will continue to deliver a complete and effective suite of business risk management (BRM) programs.

 Business Risk Management (BRM) programs are in place to help farmers in managing risks from income declines resulting from drought, flooding, low prices, and increased input costs. The programs work together by providing protection for different types of losses, as well as cash flow options.

AgriInvest helps cover small margin declines.

Spreading Chicken Litter near Frankfort Indiana

Video: Spreading Chicken Litter near Frankfort Indiana

I am out in a harvested soybean field with a farm that is loading and spreading chicken litter. They are using their Deere 644K Loader to scoop and load a Bunning Spreader that is pulled with one of the farms John Deere 8RX 410 Tractors. Chicken litter is an excellent organic fertilizer that will be used on next years corn crop.
