Farming reality show "The Farm" still looking for eastern Canadian farms

InverseCinematics, an independent Canadian television production company is putting together a new show proposal and is looking for Ontario and eastern Canadian farmers who might be interested in taking part.

It will be a documentary reality series following the day to day life of the Canadian farmer. Think Discovery's "Deadliest Catch" or History's "Ice Road Truckers". We have already gotten great response from the farmers around Canada (We have had lots of interest from farms in Alberta, BC and Manitoba but we're still trying to get the word out to the eastern provinces) the public, television people and the media. We have been featured in The Western Producer and on CBC radio One in Winnipeg.

For more information go to www.inversecinematics.com or contact TheFarm@inversecinematics.com

Right now we are looking for anyone who might be interested in such a project. We are working on finding possible subjects all around Canada, which will then be written into a pitch. We will be taking that pitch to several television networks this winter and if that goes well, we will be working on getting the actual filming started next spring. So if you or someone you know might be interested, please get in contact with us. We'd love to hear from you!

We would really appreciate any contacts or help you might be able to provide us. Drop us a line and we'll answer any questions you might have.

Rain and Cooler Temperatures Offer Respite for Saskatchewan Crops

Rain and cooler weather have helped relieve stress on many moisture-starved Saskatchewan crops. The rain that fell through wide parts of the province over the weekend was a positive sign for many producers, said the latest weekly provincial crop report on Thursday. However, even within regions that received the rain the impact on crop and pasture conditions was variable, it added. “In some areas, the rain came just in time to carry crops forward through flowering and grain fill, while in other areas the rain came too late to make a difference to crops or pastures.” Topsoil moisture is highly variable, depending on region, but most regions have seen an improvement after the recent rainfall. Provincially, cropland topsoil moisture was rated 2% surplus, 71% adequate, 22% short and 5% very short as of Monday. That compares with 60% adequate, 32% short and 8% very short a week earlier, and 50% adequate, 40% short and 10% very short at this time last year. Cropland topsoil moisture

Alberta Major Crop Conditions Little Changed on the Week

Alberta major crop conditions were relatively unchanged this past week, holding above the five- and 10-year averages. The weekly provincial crop report on Friday said precipitation did bring relief to crops in some areas but added that prolonged hot and dry weather “continues to be a challenge to crops and pastures in other regions.” The overall condition of major crops (spring wheat, oats, barley, canola, dry peas) was pegged at 65% good to excellent as of Tuesday, down a single point from the previous week but above five-year average of 55% and the 10-year average of 60%.

Major crops in the province’s Central Region were rated the best at 93% good to excellent as of Tuesday, followe
