Farmers Encouraged To Get In Touch With Candidates

The national group representing Canada's beef producers is encouraging all farmers to get in touch with their candidates during the federal election campaign.
 
Canadian Cattlemen's Association Senior Manager of Government and International Relations, Fawn Jackson, says it's important to let them know there's people in their riding in the beef sector and the agriculture industry as a whole.
 
"I think that's also, as a general citizen, a good thing to undertake," she said. "Reach out to your candidate, let them know you're position, and I'm sure it'll be a good dialogue."
 
Jackson says it makes future conversations about the industry's needs even easier.
 
Canadians hit the polls on Monday, October 21.

The Fendt Slicer explained: Grassland and forage stands show a high heterogeneous biomass growth when cut, which leads to different initial dry masses and drying speeds. The aim is to have a consistent dry matter content of 30 to 40% across the entire field. The Fendt Slicer 960/1010 Pro models with optional tine conditioner offer variable adjustment of the conditioner intensity thanks to the innovative ISOBUS control. The automatic adjustment is made using sensors in real time measurements or using application data based on the position registration of the biomass.
