In a joint statement the Canadian Sheep Federation (CFS) and the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) announced the public comment period on the draft for the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Sheep.

The draft has been two-year process led by 17 person committee.  Industry stakeholders are asked to provide feedback on the code – input will be taken into consideration for the final code. The comment period will be open until Sept. 6th, 2013.

“This public comment period will allow us to ensure we are on the right track in providing sheep owners with the information they need to meet the needs of their animals. All feedback received through the public comment period will be considered by the committee as they finalize the new Code,” said John Hemsted, sheep producer from Ontario and Chair of the Code Development Committee.

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.
