How Governments Can Help

By
The difficult, abnormally wet growing season is being capped with a harvest from hell. If governments are interested in lending some support, here’s an idea that has merit. This concept has been suggested by a number of farm groups. The way the fall is going, the idea is now especially relevant. Why not provide a

Conspiracies And Cattle

By
It’s hard not to conclude from the continued dilly-dallying over support for Manitoba’s cattle sector that this is part of a back-door attempt to downsize the country’s cattle herd. First we had the Manitoba government saying helping producers feed their cattle is problematic because it might offend our export competitors. You can bet American policy-makers

Industry Fails To Deliver Traceability Promise – for Sep. 23, 2010

By
Years ago, I was invited to a conference designed to look at long-term strategies for Canada’s ag sector. Representatives were there from most major farm groups, as well as stakeholders in the agribusiness and processing sectors. One break-out session in particular that stuck in my mind was on the meat sector. I listened rather intently

A Good Idea – for Sep. 23, 2010

By
Kudos to the Manitoba Government and the farm families who opened their gates to visitors as part of the province’s first Open Farm Day last Sunday. By most accounts, the initiative was well-received by the non-farming public because it was, quite simply, an opportunity to “touch the farm” in a way displays and exhibits at

o the very end of his life, our father was a farmer. For Jerry, there was nothing else; no other calling had any more value, worth or meaning than farming. He was as rooted into the black soil that he farmed as were the crops that he raised year after year. For Jerry, farming wasn’t

Hurricane Earl received a lot of news attention as it slammed into the Maritime provinces. Not to minimize the power outages and the damage from fallen trees, but the wet weather in Saskatchewan last week is probably causing a lot greater dollar damage than what Earl inflicted.
