Sask. crops get soaked, but may take yield hit

By
(Reuters) – Two days of rainstorms in Saskatchewan, Canada’s biggest wheat- and canola-growing province, may have done more harm to crops than good, even though farms were parched, a Saskatchewan government official said on Wednesday. Much of the province received rain on Monday and Tuesday, with the capital, Regina, collecting about 90 millimetres (3.5 inches), […] Read more
“A few years ago Dennis McMorris got tired of packing buckets of grain to feed his 350 head of cattle on his farm near Balcarres, Sask. Seaching for “that better way” he eventually developed the Bovine Bucket feeding system which has gone through extensive research and development improvements over the years. The system includes an overhead hopper on one end of the feed auger. The computerized control panel can be set so the auger delivers and drops a measured among of grain out along the feed trough on whatever timing schedule the producer wants. The unit comes in whatever length needed for any size herd. McMorris says he set up the system on his farm so he could feed four different groups of cattle with one Bovine Bucket system — feed grain or ration to a herd of pregnant cows, for example, move them out, then open a gate and bring in a group of weaned calves and so on. The Bovine Bucket was one of the exhibitors at the first-ever Ag In Motion farm show this week near Saskatoon. Along with the Bovine Bucket there were other displays of livestock handling and management equipment. The livestock component of the outdoor farm show will be expanding in future years.

Look to crop insurance first: Ritz

By
