Stock water decision in; Pacific Coast Canola hiring for Warden plant
Washington Ag Today December 22, 2011 Just in Thursday morning, thanks to Jack Field of the Washington Cattlemen's Association; the Washington State Supreme Court has ruled that state law does not put a quantifiable limit on ground water withdrawls for purposes of stock watering. A major victory for the state's cattle industry. More in Friday's Washington Ag Today.
Pacific Coast Canola, a subsidiary of Legumex Walker Inc., announced yesterday that it has begun hiring for its canola plant currently under construction in Warden, Washington. The plant is expected to commence operations in early 2013 but the company says it is looking to bring aboard key personnel in early 2012 to participate in the construction phase of the project and to establish the plant’s operating procedures.
The first six positions include production manager, environmental health and safety manager, logistics manager, plant engineer, maintenance manager and quality assurance manager. You can learn more at pacificcoastcanola.com
Now this from Stockland Livestock.
“This is Jack McQuinness at Stockland Livestock in Davenport. 400 cattle on our market. Pretty much a steady go all around on the cows and bulls. Best of the cows into the low and mid-60s. Best of the bulls topping out at $73 here yesterday. Feeder cattle, nice run and selection of weaned calves and plenty of local action on them. Call that market steady with the highlight these 500 pound steers into the mid-40s, 5-550 weight. That will be our final sale of 2011. We are looking forward to 2012. We will have a big special on January 9th and a stock-cow and bred-heifer sale in connection with the regular sale on the 16th. That is all here at Stockland. Thanks for listening and thanks for your business.
Thanks Jack.
