Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

Arrived back in Australia from Canada, to be met with the cost of estimated 9.90$ extra a week for carbon tax.  In reality try 20.50$ . The filth that believe the tax payer has a bottomless pocket. Have come up with a way of making money out of thin air.  To tax the public for the pollution that China produces, as 85 percent of our products, if not more, are produced there.  Farmers operating dairy farms, or any animal live stock that requires eletricity Hydro for you cunooks.  Have seen an extra 5,000$ per month to their bills as a farmer has found, after planting 4,000 trees in an attempt to of set and gain carbon credits.  And to add to the terror Smart meter is coming. 

 

But Canada you don't have to worry, yet.    Because all those farms that sign up to Carbon credit scheme by off setting companies like GE,GM, Ford or any other large polluting multi national will find they don't own the land, they farm on.  And must comply with the rules under that contract.  Eg not to disturb the soil as it affects the micro carbon collecting bugs or plants.

 

For those farms in the north of Alberta that now have suffed the same fatight as the 4 Queensland and New South Wales farms 6 months ago.  These animals that call themselfs politians are coming for your farm one at a time.  An of course in a nice way.

Treat Her Like a Cow: Building Fertile, Profitable Heifers

“The more you treat her like a cow, the better cow she will be.” That was one of the standout messages from the Beef Cattle Research Council’s webinar, Raising Heifers for Reproductive Success. Backed by research and on-ranch results, Dr. Elizabeth Homerosky with Veterinary Agri-Health Services and Stephen Hughes of Chinook Ranch in southern Alberta shared practical strategies to develop efficient replacement heifers that are built for longevity and profitability. The discussion focused on the economics of raising heifers, research-backed development systems, reproductive management and how producers can apply extensive grazing systems to identify the most fertile and efficient females for their herds. The Cow Value Curve Dr. Homerosky opened with the concept of the cow value curve, which illustrates how feed costs and depreciation are the top two effects on profitability. An open heifer that leaves the herd before paying for herself contributes heavily to depreciation. Strategies s

Fences, Filters and Eavestroughs: Innovative Water Initiatives to Improve Herd Health

Brian Windover and his son, Scott, own and operate Bayview Farms in Napanee, Ontario. Their operation includes a 90-head commercial Gelbvieh and Gelbvieh x Charolais cattle herd that is Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+) Certified.   The farm includes 250 acres of pastureland with both treed and open fence lines. Two of the pastures border Hay Bay, a bay of Lake Ontario, and are fenced off to deny cattle access to the bay.  Maintaining good water quality has always been a top priority for Bayview Farms, leading them to implement several changes to reduce manure contamination and ensure an abundant supply of drinking water for their cattle.  A Stock Water Quality Issue The main source of drinking water for the cattle comes from a spring-fed pond which feeds a well. Water is pumped from the well into troughs in the barn. Cattle are kept away from the pond with a dirt berm and concrete barriers. Despite this, Brian and Scott still noticed that the water was discoloured and smelly, p
