Comments on the Implementation of the Animal Care Program.

CFO Introduces Animal Care Program.

From the CFO website.

Program supported by the Canadian
Federation of Humane Societies and the
Canadian Veterinary Medical Association.

We are pleased to announce that beginning in January
2010, Chicken Farmers of Ontario (CFO) will begin
implementing the Animal Care Program (ACP). The
Animal Care Program gives Ontario’s chicken farmers
the opportunity to demonstrate the level of care they
show to chickens on the farm and the consideration
they give to providing optimal conditions for the health
and well being of their chickens. Consumer interest in
animal production continues to grow and the Animal
Care Program is yet another opportunity to ensure
consumers can be confident in the farming practices
used by Ontario chicken farmers.

Is this going to be a straightforward implementation for everyone?

What challenges to you see and how will you manage them?

Carryover Seed Explained: Certified, Tested, and More Valuable Than Ever

From bumper crops to insurance against bad harvests, carryover seed plays a bigger role than many people realize. Carryover seed is becoming a more visible part of the Alberta seed landscape, but according to seed growers and testing experts, its presence is nothing new. In fact, having carryover seed on hand often presents a strategic advantage for both seed growers and farmers. The Alberta-British Columbia Seed Growers’ Association (ABCSG) has offered a carryover listing service since around 2009, before the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association (CSGA) added carryover capability to the national Seed Locator in 2018. For Greg Stamp of Stamp Seeds, carryover seed — certified seed that simply wasn’t sold the year it was produced — is a natural part of running a pedigreed seed business. Predicting dryland yields isn’t exact, he says, and some years he produces more seed than expected. “Sometimes we expect 20 bushels of durum and get 40 or 50,” he says. “That becomes two years’ worth.
