Third generation dairy farmers chosen

March 17, 2011

Nova Scotia dairy farmers Geoff and Jennifer Bishop are Atlantic Canada’s 2011 Outstanding Young Farmers (OYF). The couple from Round Hill, NS were presented with their award by the Hon. John MacDonell, Nova Scotia Minister of Agriculture at a recent banquet in Moncton, NB.  Also in attendance were the Hon. George Webster, PEI Minister of Agriculture, and the Hon. Michael Olscamp, New Brunswick Minister of Agriculture, Aquaculture and Fisheries, OYF alumni and agri-business representatives.  The Bishop’s will represent Atlantic Canada at the national OYF event later this year in Brandon, MB. 

The all-new ES3750B Energrow Oilseed Pressing System was unveiled at the Canadian International Outdoor Farm Show on September 20-22. Energrow's pressing system features a touchscreen PLC control panel, which makes it very easy for users to oversee the running of the system. "These systems are made to run themselves," says Energrow systems designer Nicholas Leja. "We design Energrow Systems to be as easy as possible to use and maintain, while still providing high quality oil and meal products."

New features and benefits of the ES3750B:

• runs on its own (24/7 high efficiency production with no babysitting)
• timed production, and self start-up and shut down (saves the producer a lot of time and press runs when its needed)
• presets to run different crops (easy to change from one oilseed to another)
• interacts with supporting equipment (Hammer Mill Control Panel means the augers, bins, and hammer mill that are part of the system will reliably work together)
• System is expansion ready (more presses can easily be added as capacity or demand grows)

SENECA FALLS, N.Y. — Processing oilseeds on-site to produce feed and fuel makes sense. Among the scores of vendors at the recent Empire Farm Days, Energrow showcased its new on-farm ES3750B Oilseed Pressing System. The system processes oilseeds such as soybeans, canola, flax, sunflower seed, rapeseed, linseed, sesame seed, mustard seed and similar seeds. “There’s a lot of high costs farmers are facing and this guarantees the price more by pressing their own,” said founder Jasmin Hofer. “Instead of selling soybeans and buying them back as feed, they’ll know what the costs are. They’re not just reducing the cost of the feed, but they’re extracting the oil to cut their fuel costs.” Plus, farmers can choose when they want to process oilseeds.
