Canada's Ag Ministers To Meet Virtually Later This Month

Canada's agriculture ministers will meet virtually November 20th and 27th.
 
Agriculture and Agri-Food Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau commented on some of the topics that will be discussed.
 
"Obviously improving AgriStability is a top priority," she said. "We'll have a good conversation on African swine fever. I know we'll talk also about the fees that are now imposed by some big retailers. Always take this opportunity to give an update to our provincial colleagues on the federal responsibilities around international trade, for example, science and innovation."
 
The FPT meeting was postponed twice this year due to COVID-19 and the Saskatchewan election.

Video: Lambs' First Days: Bonding, Care, and Family Groups

Close monitoring of lambs in the early days is extremely important. Today on Ewetopia Farms, we dive into the critical first days of lambs' lives during winter lambing season. Starting with feeding routines and water management, we highlight the importance of claiming pens (or lambing jugs) in fostering mother-lamb bonding and ensuring the lambs' survival. Watch as we handle tagging, sorting, and addressing challenges like a ewe rejecting her lamb. From family group dynamics to playful lambs and frozen waterers, see how we navigate life on a busy sheep farm in Canada. Don’t miss the arrival of a new Dorset lamb, as the cycle of lambing continues. Join us for another eventful day of shepherding!
