The Western Producer and the CCIA would like you to know the pause of the CFIA regulation changes means nothing and you had better get ready.

There are three groups that will benefit from the increased CFIA regulations. Maybe there is a 4th?

The Canadian Cattle Association are the ones spreading misinformation. They are misleading the industry through omission.

The Agriculture Service Boards of Alberta passed the resolution. What can we all do now? We all have influences on different boards and societies. These resolutions need to be adopted to show a united front. Ag society’s, feeder associations, rodeo associations, community pastures. Wherever you are, this can be brought forward.

If you want your mind blown, check out “Red Tractor” in the UK. “Quality assurance” programs to allow market access are the result of increased regulation. We do not have to guess what the result will be from the CFIA overreach.

The changes by the CFIA to cattle traceability overweight the risk of a border closure and give no thought into the down stream effects to rural communities. This resolution we are bringing forward will attempt to force the CFIA to consider the cost.

We planted soybeans from Covers & Co with our corn. The Covers & Co crew were out today on a crop tour.

I’d prefer not to harvest this. But also not to have it ripen and dry down. Basically I’d like to be able to visit this years crop any time I’d like. Freeze this August view.

Cool season cover from Covers & Co going down. Haying weather?🤷‍♂️ But I’m willing to roll the dice on 1-3mm at 40% this year.

We had @CBCCalgary come to the farm yesterday for a segment on the calf imprinting research that we have been completing with Dr Desiree Gellatly and @OldsCollege. Thank you to @JakeVermeer for letting borrow a newborn calf since we aren’t calving now.

The @4halberta Ag Next Generation tour stopped in yesterday. We talked about direct marketing beef and cattle behavior changes to reduce sickness and improve fertility. It was really fun to host all the 4H members as the first stop on their 10 day tour. Thank you for coming!

Corn is looking good. A little late planting so hopefully it’s a late frost 🤞

Sweet clover, red clover and triticale. With a field of straight alfalfa to top off the pile. I’ll be interested to get the feed tests on the clover triticale mix.

Stettler Auction Mart with the fix. It sucks shooting a $10 dart, $20 medicine and seeing it bounce off and spray in the air and still not having a treated animal.
