CGC Conducting Grain Grading System Review

 
Changes could be on the way for Canada's grain grading system.
 
The Canadian Grain Commission (CGC) is currently reviewing all aspects of its system with the goal of making it more relevant to the needs of the grain sector.
 
Head of Communications Rémi Gosselin talked about a timeline for the review.
 
"It commenced in October and will continue over the next couple of years," he said. "Some changes may occur as soon as this spring, others will take more time because we need to take the time to make science based decisions and do some testing and to be as objective as possible and also to ensure we're not making changes to hastily."

A chain harrow is a game changer

Video: A chain harrow is a game changer

Utilizing a rotational grazing method on our farmstead with our sheep helps to let the pasture/paddocks rest. We also just invested in a chain harrow to allow us to drag the paddocks our sheep just left to break up and spread their manure around, dethatch thicker grass areas, and to rough up bare dirt areas to all for a better seed to soil contact if we overseed that paddock. This was our first time really using the chain harrow besides initially testing it out. We are very impressed with the work it did and how and area that was majority dirt, could be roughed up before reseeding.
