Minister of Agriculture and Irrigation RJ Sigurdson issued the following statement on ‘Product of USA’ voluntary labelling:

“Alberta is deeply concerned about the United States’ plans to implement ‘Product of USA’ voluntary labelling on meat, poultry and eggs derived from animals born, raised, slaughtered and processed in the United States. When this decision comes into effect in January 2026, it could disrupt the highly integrated meat and livestock supply chains that exist between Canada and the United States.

“We are committed to making sure Alberta producers and processors continue to have open access to efficient, stable, competitive markets in the United States. Maintaining the integrated supply chains will provide food security for consumers and benefit the livestock and meat industries on both sides of the border.

“Alberta respects the long-standing trade relationship between our countries. We will continue working closely with the Government of Canada and the other provinces to ensure the United States understands our ongoing concerns about the impact this new voluntary labelling regulation could have on trade.”

What does a typical day of harvest look like?

Video: What does a typical day of harvest look like?

We are a family farm in Ontario showing you what we do on our farm to produce eggs and what goes on day to day. Every day we do chores, gather eggs and make feed. On our farm we plant the crops and harvest them to feed the chickens, also we start our laying hens from day old chicks and raise them to be the best birds they can be to give you a grade A quality egg. After we are finished looking after our chickens, anything could happen from washing, waxing, fixing, welding, working on engines, working on classic cars, and more. I hope everyone enjoys cheers.
