Farmers can dispose of old livestock medications and ag pesticides

Farmers in southern Saskatchewan will have the opportunity to get rid of unwanted agricultural pesticides and old, obsolete livestock and equine medications in a responsible manner.

Cleanfarms will host 20 collection events taking place at various local ag retailers south of Davidson.

Executive Director Barry Friesen said farmers show how important this program is to them by saving up materials and bringing them to a designated drop-off location.

“Recognizing that this helps keep their farms clean and ensures these materials don’t go to landfill,” Friesen said. “For our team, it’s a great way to meet with farmers and learn about what’s on their minds while providing a service that’s valuable for them and the region as a whole.”

Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

Video: Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

It’s shipping day again at Ewetopia Farms as we sell another Suffolk yearling ram! In today’s episode, we load one of our Suffolk rams onto the trailer as he heads off to his new farm to sire the next generation of lambs.

This particular customer has been buying our rams for over eight years, trusting Ewetopia genetics for their gentle temperaments, strong builds, and proven performance. Back home, we get busy looking after the flock that’s staying behind. With the weather turning wet and chilly, it’s time to put down fresh, clean bedding to keep everyone cozy and comfortable for the season ahead. Later, we welcome a wonderful new family who’s just starting out in sheep farming!

They’ve chosen some of our Suffolk ewe lambs to begin their flock — and we couldn’t be happier to help them take their first steps into raising sheep. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode when we help deliver and settle their new flock at their farm.
