I think they are happy, my Jaylor 5050 does a great job when making TMR for the sheep. @myjaylor

If there is anything you want to know about my Jaylor I would be happy to answer any questions.

Thinking of switching to TMR talk to your nutritionist.

[Senator David Wells @WellsDavid]

My message today is to Canada’s farmers, ranchers, growers and to those who dry grain… we lost the vote on the amendment to Bill C-234. We were one vote shy of defeating the amendment. This bill is now gutted. It is likely that this will now die by process back in the House. It’s difficult to think that some in power would have our key food producers carry this tax burden. Our job should be to make operations in the food industry less expensive, not more expensive. Food is not a luxury.
