Agriculture Roundup for Tuesday Sept. 21, 2021

Sep 21, 2021 | 11:00 AM

MELFORT, Sask. — The Health Foundation of East Central Saskatchewan’s Farming for Health project harvested their canola crop on Friday.

Farming for Health co-chair Larry Hilworth said they were able to get it all combined.

“We had seven machines going up and down the field, so it didn’t take long,” Hilworth said. “We ended up with a net 29.4 bushels per acre of Nexera grain.”

The funds raised are earmarked for new equipment for the health foundation which is located in Yorkton.

Farmers looking for hay can now access the Hay West website.

A large portion of the prairies have been suffering through a drought that sharply reduced feed supplies.

The Canadian Federation of Agriculture (CFA) launched the initiative after successful campaigns in previous years.

Farmers that are either looking for hay and or have hay to sell can access the web portal.

Producers can go to HayWest2021.net where individuals and businesses can enter the information about their situation and then wait to be contacted.
