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!

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers wants new international markets explored

Saskatchewan Pulse Growers is appreciating a good harvest, as the focus shifts towards finding new international trade partners. Despite drought conditions in parts of western Saskatchewan, Carl Potts, executive director of SPG, described yields in the majority of the province as “strong” and “higher-than-average” to go with good crop quality. He adds that farmers are continuing their fall field work and recent rains will benefit soil moisture going into next year’s growing season. However, declining crop prices, including those for pulses, as well as trade tensions are putting pressure on growers. Peas are the most burdened by recent trade policies.  In March, China imposed a 100 per cent import tax on Canadian peas in retaliation of Canada’s levy on Chinese electric vehicles, steel and aluminum.  On Oct. 30, India announced it will implement a 30 per cent import duty on yellow peas effective Nov. 1 at the earliest.
