As Saskatchewan’s economy continues to grow, we celebrate the industries that create this economic growth. August 5 is Canada Food Day, an opportunity to celebrate Saskatchewan’s world-class, environmentally sustainable products that feed people all over the world. Canada Food Day highlights the farmers and ranchers who grow the products served at consumers’ dinner tables.

This year, as those agricultural producers are facing many challenges due to dry conditions, our government is supporting them in many ways. The Saskatchewan Crop

Insurance Corporation (SCIC) has doubled its low yield threshold for this year to allow additional acres of low yielding crops to be diverted to feed. For more information, call 1-888-935-0000 or visit scic.ca.

Agriculture Minister David Marit requested the federal government conduct an AgriRecovery assessment to determine what assistance could be provided to livestock producers. The province also requested an early designation of the federal Livestock Tax Deferral Program to provide producers facing potential feed shortages with more options as they consider if they need to liquidate part of their herd. Our government is committed to supporting our farmers and ranchers to lessen the impact of these challenging conditions.

Our government also continues to urge the federal government to do everything within its power to facilideeply concerned about the impact on our province’s exof goods through these ports is key to maintaining Saskatchewan’s reputation as a dependable trading partner.

You might have taken a second glance if you drove past the Moose Jaw Events

Centre on July 26, as a large combine was conspicuously parked by the east entrance.

The combine belongs to Young’s Equipment Inc. and is one of their new 50-series models.

This combine marked the location of the harvest training program for customers of the business. At the centre, farmers are being shown the ins-and-outs of their latest equipment and given in-depth training to optimize productivity.

Every farming season, Young’s Equipment Inc. hosts a training program to ensure their customers get the most out of out their equipment. This is part of their customer service program.

“We are here with customers who have bought combines from us, and we’re just going through a pre-season run-down of new features and explaining how to best optimize their equipment,” said Rob Langley, Advanced Technology Specialist at Young’s Equipment Inc.

“We’re concentrating on our 50-series combines, which are automated,” he explained, noting that inputs have changed and now include more automatic features.

Some of the customers in attendance have just purchased new equipment, and others have returned for a refresher before harvest kicks off.

“We’ve had this (model) out for the last four years, so lots of our customers have used it already. For them, we’re just building on what they’ve learned,” said

Langley.

Training takes place on two occasions throughout the year: one course takes place in the spring before seeding, and one course takes place in the late summer before harvest.

“During the spring we do seeder and sprayer events for our customers, and just before harvest we do a combine event. in whatever season they are working in,” he added.

Construction is still underway on the new facility for Young’s Equipment Inc., and no completion date has been announced. Langley stated that future training courses will be hosted at their own facility once it is available. The new facility is located west of town along the Trans-Canada Highway.

The current Young’s Equipment Inc. facility is located along the Trans-Canada Highway just east of Moose Jaw and can be reached at 306-694-1800.
