Saskatchewan Ag sector growing reckless with continued rail delays

 
Saskatchewan farm leaders are disappointed with the delays in Ottawa in approving new grain movement legislation.
 
Canadian Federation of Agriculture vice president and APAS past president Norm Hall of Wynyard says the legislation should have been approved months ago.
 
“We were sort of hoping it would be passed back in February, then it was March, and then it was April, it just being pushed off, and off, some of it is just pure politics, there’s games being played,” Hall says. “In all truthfulness, we wouldn’t be in this situation if the rail roads didn’t stick us in this situation."

Gowan Canada is partnering with Geco Strategic Weed Management to help Canadian growers take a strategic approach to weed control through data-driven prediction and planning.

Geco’s technology uses data and AI to map where weeds have been over the past five years and predict where patches are likely to emerge next season. These insights allow farms and retailers to plan ahead and target actions in the most challenging areas.

“Our technology enables the question: if you could know where your most problematic patches are and where they are spreading to, what could you do differently? That’s what our technology makes possible,” said Greg Stewart, CEO of Geco. “Many of our farms are already using our prescriptions along with Gowan products, so this collaboration is a natural next step.”
