Sask. producers welcome new Trans-Pacific Partnership deal

Jan 24, 2018

Farmers are applauding announcement of a new Trans-Pacific Partnership trade agreement.

Canola Council of Canada President Jim Everson, said farmers will benefit from lower tariffs in important Asian markets like Japan.

“There’s both good reasons for going ahead with this,” he said.

‘That is tariff removal that will allow us to be more competitive in some of those big markets, but also there is a concern with not going forward because other countries who have signed free-trade agreements with Japan will benefit from that unless Canada is able to do so, and of course we will do this TPP agreement,” Everson said.

The Stock Growers Association in Saskatchewan says beef exports could jump 200-million-dollars with the TPP agreement.

Video: Air Command Section Control for Pro-Force Spreaders

This patented section control system uses air to divert material on to different areas of the spinner disks for precise 4-section control, for an economical design by eliminating the need for added conveyor belts or movable spreader components. The section control uses the Raven RCM ISOBUS controller and a customer’s field boundary and coverage map to automatically turn off any of the four sections at any time to avoid applying valuable fertilizer in areas where it’s not needed.

This results in fertilizer savings which means more money in your pocket for a maximum Return On Investment. The powerful blower fan sends air through a 4-section manifold while the conveyor automatically speeds up or slows down as sections are turned on or off for consistent and precise fertilizer application.

• The revolutionary patented Air Command section control utilizes a pneumatic system to accurately place fertilizer onto the spinner disks to give you individualized 4-section control of your spread pattern.

• Pinpoint accuracy of four individual sections allows you to operate the system with ease. This robust design with few moving parts offers no gimmicks, just real-world results.

• The new Air Command section control option is available on pull-type models 2250 and 1850 with the new PTO drive system, and on 1450, 1250 and 1050 pull-type models with standard single hydraulics.

• Continue to do it all with the Unverferth pull-type Pro-Force Spreader. Use the Air Command section control for spreading fertilizer and in-seeding applications, while converting to single-section lime or litter application in a matter of minute
