KAP Releases Checklist For On-Farm Sanitation

Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP) has released a sanitation checklist for farmers.

Thea Green is the organization's program manager.

"I think every farm could start sanitizing as much as they felt that they needed to," she said. "If your farm is at the size where every piece of equipment is only run by one operator that's something different than if the same piece of equipment is being used by multiple people. In that case we would recommend that you do sanitize in between shifts."

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
