Bibeau Outlines Priorities For 2020

Canada's Agriculture Minister is hoping that next year is a better one for farmers.
 
Marie-Claude Bibeau outlined some of her top priorities heading into 2020.
 
"Regaining access to China is definitely one," she said. "Food policy is something else that I look forward to implement. There are different priorities within the food policy, like local food infrastructure, food waste, promoting Canadian products."
 
Bibeau talked more about the China/canola situation.
 
"We have started the process at the World Trade Organization (WTO) and obviously our new Ambassador Dominic Barton is working very hard from his part, and we are also doubling down on our efforts to export to other markets as well."

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
