U.S. Company Acquires Two Saskatchewan Grain Elevators

 
 
A new U.S. based organic food company has started doing business in Saskatchewan.
 
Pipeline Foods has acquired grain elevators in Wapella and Gull Lake.
 
Pipeline foods chief executive Eric Jackson sees Saskatchewan as a key part of setting up a supply chain for the organic food industry.
 
He says the elevator in Wapella is being re-connected to the CP Rail line.
 
“That particular facility had been disconnected from the railroad and was simply being used as farmer storage,” Jackson said. “They’re reconnecting it to the railroad and turning it back on again.”

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
