Government of Canada and Government of Prince Edward Island invest to support upgrades at Amalgamated Dairies Limited

Food processors rely on modern equipment to remain competitive, enhance efficiency and boost productivity. With the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, it is more important than ever that they have access to the necessary support to ensure they are well-positioned for the future.

Today, the Member of Parliament for Egmont, Bobby Morrissey, on behalf of the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, the Honourable Marie-Claude Bibeau, joined Prince Edward Island (PEI) Minister of Agriculture and Land, Bloyce Thompson to announce a joint investment of more than $2.4 million in support of Amalgamated Dairies Limited (ADL).

This funding will help the dairy cooperative install new automation and robotics equipment for their existing Feta packaging line at the Summerside facility. The upgrades are expected to double packaging speed and capacity, and will help bring new products to the market.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
