Milk Supply Not Expected To Be Impacted By COVID-19

COVID-19 isn't expected to have an big impact on Canada's milk supply.

David Wiens is chair of Dairy Farmers of Manitoba.

"My understanding is that all the processors in our province continue to operate and that they're continuing with the same output as they had before," he said.

Wiens says dairy farms should be operating as normal.

"As long as there's no disruptions on the farm, for example, so far we have been able to have a supply of the cleaning agents that we use for milking equipment," he commented. "Feed supply continues to come in uninterrupted. Our milk pick-ups, the transportation system, is currently working very well. All the milk is still being tested everyday for quality and components."

Wiens adds having a business continuity plan is vital in these types of situations.

Video: Demco Dual Aguer Grain Carts — Fire Safety Systems, Right or Left-Handed Unload, and More!


Demco's dual auger grain cart is designed for unloading efficiency, operator visibility, and safety in the field.

This dual-auger design features both an unload auger and a floor auger for enhanced grain cleanout and consistent flow, and the 22-inch unload auger is capable of moving up to 600 bushels per minute.

Farmers can also choose between right or left-handed unload options—right-handed unload improves visibility from the tractor cab. A new design allows both vertical and horizontal movement for precise grain placement during unloading.

Another key feature is the built-in fire safety system; a 300-gallon onboard water tank with a hose reel that provides field-ready fire suppression capability.

These dual auger grain carts are available in 1100, 1300, 1500, 1700, and 2200 bushel sizes.
