The significance of construction equipment to the relevant industrial sectors is immense and entrepreneurs associated with construction industry are aware of the ever-present value of these machineries. However, with time and situational financial limitations, equipment owners are advised to opt for leasing and financing of used construction equipment. Many have realized that leasing and financing of used construction equipment is considered as an effective risk management strategy that facilitates cash management advantages.

Leasing of used construction equipment also helps them to keep the money at hand for other more essential trading purposes and for buying new equipment. The practice also leads to a more efficient, predictable and affordable paying system. Equipment owners who have faced economic downturn in previous years would surely appreciate this process for the financial flexibility it provides.

Reduce risks associated with assets: Leasing and financing of used construction equipment can lead to reduced risks associated with managing assets and their financial value.

New Check-Off Collection Rules Aim to Streamline Interprovincial Sales and Strengthen Provincial Beef Programs

As of August 1, 2025, changes to Canada’s beef check-off collection rules will come into effect in BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan to bring greater consistency and fairness to how levies are collected across Canada. Under the new guidelines, the check-off rate applied to a cattle sale will now align with the seller’s home province, regardless of where the sale takes place. This change ensures that beef producers’ contributions continue to support the programs and initiatives of their own province—even when cattle are sold outside of it. “This is about fairness and alignment,” said Trevor Welch, Chair, Canadian Beef Check-Off Agency. “Producers, provincial cattle associations and other stakeholders have been asking for a more consistent system that reflects their home province’s priorities, especially as interprovincial marketing and transport becomes more common.

From a tough crop year to livestock feed gains

The 2025 crop year continues to be challenging in some regions of Alberta. Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) has adjusted the low yield allowance, enabling farmers to salvage crops for livestock feed in an effort to reduce producers’ feed-related costs. The low yield allowance is a standard part of production insurance and is meant for situations where there may not be value in harvesting for grain (e.g. low yield due to extreme heat and severe drought). “I’ve spoken with livestock and crop producers in Alberta who are worried about the impact that dry conditions could have this year. Changing the yield threshold will give them some breathing room, so they can make the best decisions for their operations.” Heath MacDonald, federal Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada “The impact of ongoing dry conditions in some regions of the province is concerning for Alberta’s agricultural community.
