Wheat And Barley Commissions Keep Tabs On Virus

The Alberta Wheat and Barley Commission continues to keep producers apprised of the impact of the COVID 19 virus on the sector.

The commissions Have focused on priorities identified by farmer members.

They include ensuring that crop insurance claims are processed prior to spring seeding, farming inputs are available for spring and throughout the rest of the season, that grain exports continue to maintain farm revenue streams and to ensure that on farm storage is available at harvest.

Recognizing that this situation is changing by the moment, we encourage you to please contact our team with any issues, concerns or questions.

Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Video: Spring Planting Prep Just Got Serious… We NEED This!

Getting closer to planting season means one thing… it’s time to get EVERYTHING ready.

Today didn’t go exactly as planned—we thought we’d be hauling potatoes again, but instead we spent the day digging equipment out of the cellar, hooking up the grain drill, and getting tractors ready to roll. With wheat planting just around the corner, every piece of equipment matters.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a normal day without a few problems… dead batteries, hydraulic issues, and a truck tire that absolutely refused to cooperate. We tried everything—jump packs, bead bazooka, ratchet straps… and eventually had to bring out the “big guns” just to get things moving again.

But that’s farm life—adapt, fix, and keep moving forward.

We’re getting close to go-time. Wheat seed is coming soon, and planting season is right around the corner
