Infinity herbicide from Bayer CropScience

Infinity herbicide from Bayer CropScience is the first new mode of action available to Western Canadian grain farmers in 20 years. For this reason, Grainews is pleased to provide the following informational video to teach you more about the product.

The Back Saver

This home-made video from Manitoba producer Elgin Routledge shows two different Back Saver devices which he invented. The one Back Saver mounts on a John Deere baler to help load the large plastic wrap rolls, and the second Back Saver can be mounted inside the box of a pickup truck, also providing a convenient, back-saving tool for lifting loads into a truck box. See the full story and more information in the December 2007 issue of Grainews (Cattleman's Corner, page 30).

Automatic Sorting Corral

The following is a short clip from a home-made video showing cattle moving through an automatic sorting system developed by Leroy and Barb Lausen, ranchers near Hanna, Alta. See the full story and additional information in the Cattleman’s Corner section of the October 22, 2007 Grainews.

The basic concept of this sorting system is that as the cow/calf pairs move through this specially designed section of the corral, more than 95 per cent of calves will exit under raised sections of the corral panels, to the right and left, into pens that are separate from the cows.
