Saskatchewan cattle group asks Ottawa to contribute to AgriRecovery

SCA chair Keith Day sent a letter to Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Lawrence MacAulay yesterday saying many cattle producers in Saskatchewan have been hit by drought conditions, some for the fourth and fifth year, resulting in feed shortages going into the fall and winter.

The letter stated some producers are selling off their cattle while the farmers keeping their animals need to buy feed.

Manure to Millions: 50 Yards of Concrete in One Day

Video: Manure to Millions: 50 Yards of Concrete in One Day

50 yards of concrete went down at the Manure Seperation building today. Forms set, rebar tied, gravel packed, and the trucks running one after another until the pad is poured and the crew is finishing it flat.

And because nothing on a pig farm waits for you to finish one job, the semi shows up while the concrete's still wet. Tork and I unload another load of pigs into the barn, get them sorted into pens, and walk the barn once they're settled. Two big jobs, one day, and both of them had to happen.
