I’m away this week.  Here is an episode from our archives to tide you over until I get back.

The federal government wants to reduce those emissions by 30 percent by the year 2030.

Wheat Growers President Gunter Jochum believes it could result in a food shortage

 

Over the last several years, there have seen more cow/calf producers try their hand at direct-to-consumer marketing.

Mark Hoimyr and his wife Laura own Box H Farm near Gladmar, straight south of Regina, Sask. near the U.S. border.

Box H Farm has 250 head of breeding stock---plus replacements. There is about 5,000 acres of tame grass and native prairie---with a heavy emphasis on rotational grazing.

Mark Hoimyr is here to talk about selling his grass-fed beef direct to consumers.
