Going deep for readers in January February Poultry issue

Multi-tasking is over-rated from my point of view. It is like half or more of your mind is somewhere else. But that is the reality of a deadline driven endeavour like publishing a magazine (and like farming). Sometimes you must do two things at once to cover all the bases.

On the other hand, some things need sustained concentration and time, a need to go deep and do some heavy planning. Such is the case with Small Farm Canada’s poultry issue. Every year we start early to get engagement from hatcheries, experts and authors like Amy Hogue. Amy put together some comprehensive information on poultry housing, health and bio-security for 2023. Your feedback and ideas are valuable as we make plans for 2024.

Thinking of going deep in 2023, don’t forget to plan. This will help you fit in the unexpected and keep progressing year after year!

Agriculture Secretary Rollins Speaks at American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim

Video: Agriculture Secretary Rollins Speaks at American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim

One of the highlights at the 2026 American Farm Bureau Federation Convention in Anaheim, California, was an address by U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins. During her remarks, she thanked America’s farmers and ranchers and said the Trump Administration is fully aware that food security is national security.

She also acknowledged the challenging times in Farm Country with low commodity prices and high input costs and said that’s why the President stepped in to help with the recent Bridge Assistance Program.

Montana Farm Bureau Federation Executive Vice President Scott Kulbeck says that Farm Bureau members are appreciative of the help and looks forward to working with the American Farm Bureau Federation and its presence in Washington, DC to keep farmers and ranchers in business.

Secretary Rollins said the Trump Administration is also committed to helping ranchers build back America’s cattle herd while also providing more high-quality U.S. beef at the meat case for consumers.

And she also announced more assistance for specialty crop producers who only received a fraction of the $12 billion Farmer Bridge Assistance (FBA).

It’s important to note that producers who qualify for Farmer Bridge Assistance can expect the Farm Service Agency to start issuing payments in late February. For more information, farmers and ranchers are encouraged to contact their local USDA Service Center.
