2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show Sidelined

Nov 19, 2020

Prairieland Park has cancelled the 2021 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

Lori Cates, Manager of Agriculture for Saskatoon Prairieland Park Corporation, says the decision has been made in consultation with the Government of Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Health Authority and is in light of the growing number of COVID-19 cases throughout the province.

For 37 years Prairieland Park has welcomed producers from across the prairies to Saskatoon, to see the latest in farm equipment and technology. The event was held every January.

Cates says the focus is on the safety and health of their staff, event patrons and the exhibitors and sponsors that attend the show.

She notes they are committed to supporting agriculture in Saskatchewan and look forward to the 2022 Western Canadian Crop Production Show.

Video: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
