Oyster harvesters in P.E.I. fear overfishing, empty rivers next spring amid MSX concerns
More than 80 of the Island's wild oyster harvesters had to find new places to fish after the MSX parasite forced the shutdown of Bedeque Bay last year. As CBC's Nancy Russell reports, the pressure to find more oysters has meant some rivers are being fished out — and that could mean no catches next spring.

Caribou in Coral Harbour, Nunavut, tests positive for rabies
Nunavut's health department says a caribou in Coral Harbour tested positive for rabies after it was seen attacking heavy equipment. In a public health advisory Tuesday, the department says harvesters who suspect an animal of having rabies should avoid handling the carcass. If they have already harvested the meat, they should dispose of it instead of eating it or feeding it to dogs. It says if you've been bitted or scratched by an infected animal, to go to your local health centre as soon as possible and report the incident. Dogs and other domestic animals that spend time tied up outdoors should be monitored for a change in behaviour. Signs of rabies include change of behaviour, aggression, staggering, frothing at the mouth, choking or making strange noises. Wild animals infected with rabies may also appear friendly and approach humans without fear. Nunavut's chief public health officer Dr. Ekua Agyemang said that this is the first confirmed case of rabies in caribou in Nunavut. She suspects another animal with rabies, possibly a fox or dog, bit the caribou to spread the disease. Agyemang said that she believes this to be an isolated event and that officials haven't heard any other reports of caribou suspected of having rabies. "People should be calm — it doesn't mean that going forward you can't eat caribou," she said, adding hunters should just observe an animal before killing it and report if they notice any strange behaviour.

New Holland Renews CR Line and Launches the World's Largest Twin-Rotor Harvester at Agrishow
CNH brand, New Holland, presented the complete renewal of its line of CR harvesters at the 30th edition of Agrishow in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil. The brand also showcased its automation based on artificial intelligence technology, in addition to making the CR11 – the world's largest twin-rotor harvester - commercially available in Brazil. CR Line Included connectivity is standard on the CR range, ensuring that the machines support all connectivity features. Customers will be able to transfer data, use remote support, process agronomic data, and connect to FieldOps, New Holland's farm management application, at no recurring cost. FieldOps is a standout feature of its harvesters. The double rotor provides a better separation between pod and grain, avoiding straw accumulation, which ensures better grain quality, less mechanical damage and less dirt in the grain tank. In addition, it allows a better use of the cleaning system with the uniform distribution of the material over the tray area and sieves, reducing losses. It also ensures better straw quality and greater threshing speed, increasing harvesting productivity, among other benefits. CR11 Unveiled at Agritechnica 2023, the CR11 is the next generation of New Holland's flagship line of harvesters. It is the largest twin-rotor harvester ever manufactured and has been redesigned to provide higher productivity, with minimal grain loss, better waste management and greater automation. These resources aim to reduce the total cost of harvesting grain. The machine also has the new TwinClean system, which incorporates several solutions to increase cleaning capacity and minimize losses. There are two sieve systems in sequence, each with top and bottom sieve and clean grain auger, based on a larger step grain tray up to the first top high-power fan ensures efficient airflow.
