New USask poultry laying facility receives $6.2 million CFI funding boost

As a leading poultry researcher at the University of Saskatchewan (USask), Schwean-Lardner explores improved light, housing, and feed systems for better welfare, healthier chicken, and egg production in Canada — and she’s not afraid to feed the wild chickens she meets on holiday in Hawaii. And nobody is more excited than Schwean-Lardner about what a new state-of-the-art poultry laying facility at USask would mean for her research field — and her birds. “This will move us so far forward in poultry research,” she said. “This is causing me to push back my retirement because I want the first experiment in a system like this. This is so exciting.” A proposed, cutting-edge poultry laying facility has received more than $6.2 million from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) Innovation Fund, which supports developing infrastructure to further world-leading research in Canada. In addition, $3 million has been contributed to the new facility by Saskatchewan Egg Producers, an independ

Korey Peters, sunflower crop committee

Korey Peters farms near Randolph, MB, with his family at Herbsigwil Farms. Herb is his grandpa, Sig is his uncle and Will is his dad. Korey is a third-generation farmer, and the fourth generation is already on the farm full-time. Herbsigwil Farms grows wheat, canola, soybeans, corn and sunflowers. Korey lives on the farm with his wife and their two children, who enjoy spending lots of time in the yard. What motivated you to get into farming? I was always working on the farm in the summers. I came back full time in 2011 when my uncle had slowed down a little, and I just never left. What motivated you to get involved with Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA)? We started growing sunflowers when we were looking to add another crop in our rotation, and someone I know approached me because MCA was looking for committee members after some delegates had termed out. We chatted about it. It’s not a huge time commitment to be on a crop committee. I had been on a few boards not related to ag, so I h

More Control, Less Rush: Using Cash Advances to Strengthen Marketing Decisions

Farming is one of the most capital-intensive businesses in Canada. Seed, fuel, fertilizer and land costs go out months before crop revenue comes in. And while yields and markets can fluctuate, input costs are constant and high. That’s why cash flow strategy matters as much as production strategy. In the final presentation of our Roots to Results Webinar Series, Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) COO Darcelle Graham shared how an Advance Payments Program (APP) cash advance from MCA can serve as a practical, flexible tool to strengthen marketing power and reduce borrowing costs. Turn Cash Flow Pressure into Marketing Power The APP provides access to capital based on up to 50 per cent of your anticipated or stored production value. That means you don’t have to sell grain just to cover spring bills. Implementation Map out your 12- to 18-month cash flow needs. If input or rent payments are driving early sales, consider whether an advance could bridge the gap and let you market when prices im
