Prairie pea yields appear lower in early harvest

By Dave Sims August 11, 2015

CNS Canada — Western Canada’s pea harvest has begun and yields appear to be down, according to a crop management specialist with Saskatchewan Agriculture. “Once farmers cut into the peas they began finding yields maybe half of what they typically expected,” said Shannon Friesen.

“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.

By Jade Markus July 16, 2015

By Lisa Guenther June 30, 2015
