Comment by Avia Eek on November 15, 2009 at 1:58am: Hi Rein. We have awesome dirt! It's organically based, naturally. The result of thousands of years of naturally occurring composting. In the Marsh it's called "muck", but in several locations here you can find lots of "peat". When it's really dry, and we're harvesting carrots, huge chunks of peat come up, and have to be broken up, and thrown back onto the ground. My Deutz, I love it! Quiet, powerful, more user friendly than some other tractors we've had, improved views from inside the cab. The only request I would make of tractor manufacturers is, I wish they would install "shades at the side windows, and rear, not just the front. Often the sun is in my eyes, and I place material in the windows so I can look behind me, and watch the wagon and the conveyor from the combine. Gotta go, almost finished carrot harvest. Have a great day!

CWRC appoints new president, transitions host duties to Sask Wheat

The Canadian Wheat Research Coalition (CWRC) has appointed a new president, following the transition of hosting duties from Manitoba Crop Alliance (MCA) to the Saskatchewan Wheat Development Commission (Sask Wheat). Sask Wheat executive director Blair Goldade is the new CWRC president. The president, who is appointed from the host organization and approved by the CWRC board of directors, is the key contact for external stakeholders. The CWRC’s operational hosting duties rotate every three years between the three Prairie producer organizations who represent wheat farmers in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba: Sask Wheat, Alberta Grains and MCA. “Sask Wheat was the inaugural host when the CWRC was formed in 2017, so this represents a full-circle moment for the organization. Looking back nearly a decade later, I’m extremely proud of what the CWRC has accomplished on behalf of western Canadian farmers,” Goldade says. “I would like to extend my sincere thanks to MCA and outgoing CWRC
