Before it was a business, it was a farm. Before it was a product, it was a fix we built in our own shop. That same grit, pride, and problem-solving still drive everything we do today. Because when you build it like you’ll run it yourself, it lasts.

It’s a rebate on an on-road tax that doesn’t apply to businesses (such as farmers) using it off road, hence the rebate scheme (not a tax)

@AmberB_C @ausgov I think fatigue is a bigger killer than speed. A speed reduction could actually make it worse.

Every farmer’s been there- the moment when one rock, one sound, and one second turn into hours of lost time. That’s why every Wildfong part is built tougher and designed smarter, to keep you running when it matters most. Because harvest doesn’t stop for breakdowns.

If you’ve ever wrestled with hangers that won’t fit or parts that shake loose halfway through harvest, you’re not alone. That’s why we built the Wildfong Split Hanger- a better design that installs easier & lasts longer. Plan ahead for harvest 2026. Call us today 306.260.2833

It’s crucial that EP grain farmers get more accurate weather information than the disastrous BOM website provides. They need a Doppler Radar. And the farmers’ argument – which has been building for years now – has become stronger, given negativity around the BOM’s $4 million

There is a bit of difference between the maturity of Scepter and Mohawk. A frost mitigation strategy?? Wait and see how the respective yields play out.

From a six-hour combine clinic in 1979 to today, Wildfong has been built on one principle: engineered by farmers, for farmers. Every concave, beater, and component is designed, tested, and perfected with the farmer in mind because your harvest deserves parts that last.

Oof. Tired of hearing about the "#wheat glut"? Here's a reminder: global stocks-to-use in major exporting countries is just marginally above record lows... Yes, fundamentals might not matter right now — but sooner or later, they will. #oatt #sizovreport

Every combine has a crew working behind the scenes. Ours just happen to be made from Saskatchewan-built AR400 steel, tested by farmers, and ready to go the distance. Meet the team that keeps your harvest moving. #Combine #CombineWearParts #Harvest #WildfongEnterprises

Reliability. Real advice. The kind of parts that don’t leave you second-guessing halfway through the season. Because when things go sideways, you want gear that doesn’t - and a real person on the other end of the phone. Give us a call today 306.260.2833. #WildfongEnterprises

@MarkoMatvikov Fortunately we have world leading, modern agricultural practices that allow us to produce high quality food, even enough for export. But unfortunately increasing red tape, energy costs, public misconceptions etc, etc is making this more and more difficult and for some sectors of
