US/China Trade Negotiations Continue

It's a big week for trade in the US, and Canada will be impacted on both fronts.
 
On Wednesday, the US and China signed the first phase of their new trade deal. The US still plans to keep the tariff war going for now, while phase 2 of the trade deal is worked out.
 
On the 2nd front, The US Senate is expected to vote today on the new NAFTA.
 
The expected vote promises sweeping bipartisan support for the legislation that will replace the original NAFTA. Most farm groups in Canada support the deal, but Canada's supply-managed dairy industry isn't as excited.
 
They're being forced to give up more market share to the US. The Trudeau government has been promising them billions in compensation for the loss of that market share.

Video: Sheep Breeding: Introducing Rams To Ewes

Love is in the air on our sheep farm! It's sheep breeding season at Ewetopia Farms, and today we put our newly shorn Dorset rams in with their ewes. We watch how both the Suffolk and Dorset rams and ewes react when they meet. We are very pleased with the new rams we have added to our group of breeding rams and are looking forward to seeing the lambs these ratings will produce five months from now.
