KAP Makes Canada Grain Act Review Submission

May 04, 2021

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has made a submission to the Canada Grain Act review.

"I think the overall messaging is that through committee meetings and consultations and producer engagement, I would say the vast majority of producers want to see the grain commission maintain its role and be able to be oversight for the grain industry. I think the primary concern is to protect producers' rights and interests," commented KAP President Bill Campbell. "We deal with a few things with regards to the grading and the dockage, some of those aspects. There's the mandate of enforcement of the powers that the grain commission has. Also producer protection payments with regards to licensing of facilities."

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.
