CCGA Screening Grain Entrapment Movie 'Silo'

The new movie 'Silo' is being screened online Friday and Monday by the Canadian Canola Growers Association.
 
The film is about grain entrapment.
 
Producer Sam Goldberg talked about the movie.
 
"We like to say it's inspired by true stories. The original idea that sparked this movie was a grain bin entrapment that happened in Illinois in 2010. That accident, three teenage boys were trapped in the grain and two of them passed away. That got national headlines in America and the director of the film...heard about that and that's really what inspired his idea and then he brought it to me."

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
