Trade Restrictions On Some Maritime Poultry Products

Feb 11, 2022

The discovery of a deadly strain of avian flu at a turkey farm in Nova Scotia this winter is sending shockwaves around the world.

Several countries including the US and most of the European Union are putting trade restrictions on some poultry products from Nova Scotia and Newfoundland, where cases were found earlier. It was back on February 3rd, the CFIA confirmed the presence of H5N1 in a commercial flock in western Nova Scotia. About 12 thousand turkeys on the farm died because of the virus. About half died after becoming infected with the flu while the rest were culled to prevent its spread.

The disease was also confirmed in a backyard flock in eastern Nova Scotia. It doesn't produce birds for sale and is considered a non-poultry detection.

What happens when a farm buys its first Fendt? For Peter Watson Jones Ltd, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 has exceeded expectations from day one. For Jack, Farm Manager at Peter Watson Jones Ltd in North Shropshire, UK, the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7 wasn't just another tractor purchase. It was the farm's first experience with the Fendt brand.

Operating across a 1,200-acre arable farm alongside a 250,000-head broiler enterprise, the business has evolved significantly over the last decade, moving to a straight arable system with fewer staff and machines. Since arriving on the farm, the Fendt 726 Vario has established itself as the main drilling and cultivations tractor, earning its place through performance, versatility and efficiency. Whether it's handling large-scale cultivations or working with a new 4.5m strip-till drill, the tractor continues to impress.

Jack highlights its excellent manoeuvrability, operator comfort and ability to deliver strong pulling power at low engine speeds. The result? Outstanding fuel efficiency without compromising performance. Reliability has also been a key factor, with dependable backup from the team at TR Machinery helping to keep the tractor working when it matters most.

?? Watch as Jack shares why the Fendt 726 Vario Gen7, the farm's first Fendt, has made such a strong impression and become an integral part of their operation.
