Canadians Encouraged to Provide Feedback On Canadian Food Strategy

ByAmanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Is a national food strategy important to you? If you answered yes, you should consider providing feedback online about the content of the Canadian Food Strategy.

The Conference Board of Canada’s Centre for Food in Canada is inviting the Canadian public to provide responses and feedback to help form the content that will be outlined in a future food strategy document. The strategy focuses on five main components – industry, healthy food, food safety, consumer security, and environmental sustainability.

The feedback is in a survey format and will take 20 to 25 minutes to complete. Feedback will be considered to be a part of the strategy that will be released Nov. 2013.

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
