Saskatchewan Stock Growers Plan Virtual AGM

Jun 10, 2021

Cattle producers are being reminded to pre-register for the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association virtual AGM next week.

The event is scheduled for Tuesday, June 15th.

General Manager Chad MacPherson says the registration deadline is this Friday, June 11th.

He notes Friday is also the nomination deadline for the six Director at Large positions that expire this year.

"So members that are interested in running for the board, could fill out the form which is available on our website and apply to run for the board as well."

He notes there's also a resolution form there as well and the deadline to submit those resolutions is Friday, June 11th as well.

MacPherson says they have a full agenda with general business updates, director elections, resolutions, the TESA Award Presentation, and of course, a couple of guest speakers.

"One is Anne Wasko with Cattle Trends, she's going to be giving a cattle market outlook. And our second one is Anne Marie Roerink, she's with 210 Analytics out of Florida. She's the author of the annual Power of Meat study. For people that aren't familiar with that research, it's kind of a consumer outlook on what's happening with meat consumption across the United States at the retail level."

Producers interested in taking part will have to go to the Stock Growers website to pre-register before the end of the day on Friday.

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
