DIY Ag Plastics Baler/Compactor
After hearing an earlier episode featuring discussions on agricultural plastics in the province, new delegate Colin Rice reached out to us to learn more about the plastics baler/compactor (you'll hear those words used interchangeably in this episode).
And that's how he landed a spot as a guest host for this segment of the show!
Listen as he brings his questions to Jonathan Beekman of Full Circle Plastics, and learn more about the ag plastics compactor (video below), the skills it takes to build one yourself (you'll need this pdf), and pricing details if you'd rather not.

Positivity in Global Market Trends
From tightening supply to shifting margins, Brett Stuart of Global AgriTrends says there's movement towards higher prices.
Hear Stuart, along with host Debra Murphy discuss the global markets, including topics like Australia destocking (and restocking), U.S. herd size, disease challenges in Indonesia, recession potential, and continued consumer support for beef.
"We see gas prices go up, we see heavy inflation, housing costs, and retail beef prices are about $7.30/lb. It's just incredible to me how much consumers love beef."
You'll also hear the voice of Jacob Bueckert , Chair, Alberta Cattle Feeders' Association (ACFA) on another successful year for Alberta Beef Industry Conference.
The 2023 Conference will be held at Fairmont Banff Springs , February 22-24.
