Farming without Glyphosate

I am sure this would get alot of city votes, if it was true..

Forage you cannot tell me the manitoba NDP has been good to farmers. It has almost wiped out hog production in your province. Regulations to the ying yang, if the people of the North and winterpig wanted something the NDP would give It and take it from the farmer. NDP is not agriculture friendly!!!

Bucket, I will look into the Degleman. I am keen on the Lemkin Rubin. I did see a 3 point hitch version do a very poor job breaking old hay fields this spring.
I am still pulling a Kello Bilt 225 disk at 4.5 mph, cutting 5 inches deep, burying whatever gets in the way.
It's not very sophisticated.
My fields are usually very rough, so I would literally have to wear a helmet if travelling more than 7mph.
I am thinking of adding rolling baskets to the disk or a Kelly Harrow.

Well I don't know what happenned to the hog industry but I do know lake winnipeg and Manitoba were literal cesspools until they cleaned up the act there. There is a point where producing food has to be done in a responsible way. There is lots of complaint he by a few on here yet when I travel through Manitoba there are. Many nice prosperous farms and way better roads than saskatxhewan. But I understand there was some resentment when farm land was flooded to save winnipeg and there is no money that can build back what you ve lost and the time lost just getting back to where you were. That I understand.

The Manitoba hog industry has wiped it's self out. The Manitoba Pork Council is full of over paid ex-Manitoba government employees with no vision, collecting large salaries. The barns burn down every time pork prices go down. So don't bring up a dead topic.

I guess everyone ok with paying a lot higher taxes and borrowing our grandkids future away then vote NDP.

NOTHING good will come from an NDP government for agriculture.

[riders2010]

Lmfao. Excuse me but somebody s paying for these deficits!

Absolutely zero vision for agriculture except tease agriculture for oil deals.

Too bad. Paul Martin wasn't still in finance.

There is no way in hell that ANY gov't could be worse for agriculture than this ReForm Bunch !!

I Don't want any govt to do anything FOR me
But ThIs bunch has done ALOT TO US

Although they've been GREAT at changing policy so Corporations Can get their hands deeper in our pockets

NDP and Liberals will bring:

More environmental regulations regarding fertilizer usage, seed treatments and herbicides.
(Ex. Ontario with their Neonicotinoid Restrictions)

Moratorium on GMO's.
Mandatory labelling for GMO's
Several NDP members have put forth private member bills for mandatory GMO labelling!!!

Hof barn expansion red tape and restrictions. (Ex. Manitoba)
Carbon taxes and cap and trade policies = higher fuel bill.

When Jack Layton visited Saskatoon during the previous election campaign he stopped at the "farmers" market to get ag advice from the hipsters there.......
