SECURING BALES Visit mdlsr.ca/securement for important provincial secure- ment guidelines and regulations for transporting hay bales. SEASONAL TIPS Check stored grain REGULARLY, especially if grain moisture content was high when binned. Germination testing should be checked as early as possible this winter on grain you wish to use as seed, due to the poor maturing & harvesting condi- tions experienced this fall. If purchasing seed, book it early due to a possible seed shortage this spring. Establish a VCPR in order to purchase Livestock Antibiotics In the new year.
