Federal Ag Minister ready to debate amended grain transportation legislation

 
Federal Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay expects debate on the amended grain transportation legislation to begin this week.
 
Saskatchewan farm groups are calling for quick passage of the proposals.
 
MacAulay said some of the key provisions include railway inter-switching and reciprocal penalties for grain shippers and the railways.
 
“I’m not sure if I’m supposed to announce that, but I do expect it will be in the house this week,” he said.
 
“Hopefully it will be dealt with quite quickly and then down to the Senate, they’ll deal with it and that’s the process,” MacAulay added.

Video: Running a Farm Store + Starting No-Till Gardens w/Blue Goose Farm

We cover: today we are chatting with Keenan McVey of Blue Goose Farm in Ontario Canada. Keenan, along with his wife Ashley, run this small farm and along with it a really interesting, in-town Farm Store that is a little different from what you might think of as a farm store and has proved to be an invaluable marketing option for them. Keenan’s roots are in the culinary world, and the farm was also started with another chef from the area some of you may know, named Matty Matheson (of the excellent show The Bear). Keenan tells us that story as well as helps detail the technical stuff about how the gardens were created and how they are maintained.
