Mild Winter Helping To Stretch Feed Supplies

Jan 25, 2021

The mild winter has been a blessing for ranchers in the province.

Carson Callum is general manager of Manitoba Beef Producers.

"Overall this mild winter has definitely helped stretched those feed supplies coming off a couple back to back drought years," he commented. "People are already really deplenished in terms of their feed stock, so I think this mild winter is helping."

Callum notes there is concern about the lack of snow in some areas.

"That concern is definitely valid as we move closer to the new growing season. Usually there's quite a bit more snow in certain areas that allow for a bit of moisture to be there for when things start up in the spring. It's definitely a concern and hopefully we get some of the timely rains that are needed if the snow doesn't come."

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
