Grain growers in Australia are encouraged to take part in the Central Highlands Regional Council's free feral animal 1080 baiting campaign.
Michelle Janes, Biosecurity Queensland senior crop protection officer said summer crop growers would benefit from using grain bait as a
control method.
"Feral pigs can travel over large distances and cause significant damage to crops at grainfill," Janes warned.
"Recent seasons have seen feral pig populations on the rise and
valuable summer crops will soon start attracting feral pig activity."
The International Milling Education Foundation (IMEF) raised $50,000 from silent and
centerpiece auctions during the International Association of Operative Millers (IAOM) Conference & Expo in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada.
“We are impressed by
the great results, especially considering we had decided not to hold a
live auction this year,” said Joel Hoffa, IMEF president.
On July 1, 2013, new roughage tolerances for exports of Canadian triticale take effect in eastern Canada. On August 1, 2013, new roughage tolerances for exports of Canadian rye and triticale take effect in western Canada.
Currently, commercial cleanliness requirements in Rye, Canada Western (CW) and Triticale, Canada (CAN) do not include tolerances for roughage.
At their April meetings, the Eastern and Western standards committees recommended the following tolerance:
Triticale, Canada (CAN) - 0.1% Total small seeds, attrition and roughage
