Event Description

On October 23, 2014, SV Enterprises will be holding an open house and product launch. Their heat exchangers, which earned them a Premier’s Award for Agri-Food Innovation Excellence, will be front and center as a tool for hog producers to improve their bottom line. Simply reclaim heat from exhaust air to save on propane and enhance the atmosphere in the barn.

The event will be starting at 5:00 pm and running as long as people stay…. food and beverages will be served, with an emphasis on local products such as Ontario Pork Producers bacon burgers, fresh apples, and other fall treats.

“In my farming experience, working with, rather than against the situations is one of the keys to success. I see the recapture of heat from the exhaust air in a pig barn as an opportunity just like that. We now have the ingredients to make it a workable solution, and helping farmers to succeed will be one of the keys to our success” says Ron Van Bakel.

The products are wholly Canadian made and local. Plastic sheet is now sourced from Ideal Polymers in Thorndale, Ontario, and stainless fasteners from Inteq Industrial in Exeter. Over the years, the processes have been refined and improved and new products added to the stable to make SV a leader in ventilation of agricultural buildings.

The open house is being held at 4580 Road 140, Perth East, near Kinkora, Ontario. Media are invited to attend.

OFCAF Producer Perspective on Virtual Fencing – Cody Claypool

On a cold Alberta night, few jobs are less appealing than heading out to move polywire so cattle can keep making the most of a swath-grazing field. For producer Cody Claypool, virtual fencing offered a way to reduce that winter labour while still controlling how his herd accessed feed and helping capture the full value of swath grazing. Instead of bundling up in the dark to shift electric fence, Cody could check his cattle’s movements from the comfort of home — even in the middle of the night — and make management decisions from his phone. That practical fit is what made the technology worth trying on the Claypool operation, where Cody manages a herd of approximately 400 cattle and is always looking for ways to make grazing more efficient without adding more hours to already full winter days. Cody’s parents first learned about virtual fencing at an Alberta Stockgrowers meeting, where RDAR CEO Mark Redmond and Olds Researcher Briana Elliot gave presentations. Their interest was piqued

British Columbia organizations coming together to boost skills and talent training in Canadian food and ingredient ecosystem

As Canada works to reach its full opportunity to do more with what it grows, there’s an increasing need to train and produce skilled workers across the food production and value-added agriculture value-chain. Today, to help address this need, Protein Industries Canada is announcing a new project with BC Food & Beverage (BCFB), the University of British Columbia (UBC) and Cultivated Food Labs (CFL), to develop and deliver a new coordinated skills training program. Canada’s ability to Make More Here presents an opportunity to unlock $25 billion in GDP and upwards of 17,000 new innovation-based jobs. BCFB, UBC and CFL are combining their expertise to ensure enough skilled talent is ready to fill these jobs, providing companies across Canada with the workforce needed to help reach new growth potential and new markets. “A strong and resilient agri-food sector depends on a highly skilled workforce,” said the Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada

Barn Boards and Baling Wire

One morning when we still lived on the farm, I looked out the front window and saw the barn door was open. A horse was standing by the corn crib not 10 feet from the road. It wasn’t my horse, but still I had that sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach. We had rented out a stall to an Amish neighbor to board his horses for a month while he was doing some logging nearby. He paid the rent with several loads of firewood. As a bonus he spread some of that high-octane Percheron exhaust on the garden, so it was a good deal all around. The neighbor arrived within a few minutes to tend to the wayward horse, so it all ended well. But that sinking feeling brought back memories of all those times in my youth when somebody left a door or a gate unlocked and the cows got out – usually onto the road and almost always at the most inconvenient time. Chasing cows at three o’clock in the morning is not fun, especially when your school bus is due to arrive at 7 a.m. We came home recently after being
