Farming without Glyphosate

[stonepicker]

Hog industry did it to themselves in MB.? So the province wide moratorium on any new hog barn construction had nothing to do with it? c'mon lefties take a reality pill! And FYI the biggest polluter to lake Winnipeg is the city of WPG. itself, that's a documented fact, i forget how many 100's of thousand gallons of untreated raw sewage a day wpg. is allowed to dump into the red river. But wpg is where the votes are so their shit doesn't stink.

Talked to a couple hog producers and according to them the regulations were a pain in the ass to start with but in the end the positive perception of how the industry is producing hogs has been more than beneficial.

As far as cities dumping sewage in rivers this is. Not a ndp or liberal or conservative thing. There have been conservative govs in Manitoba or not? And regina let's raw sewage go to the fort quappelle system. And the entire sask river system stemming from Alberta is so toxic from city and industry waste you can only eat so many fish that are aupposedly within acceptable levels. At some point all this has to be or should be addressed.

And yes that is the same Paul Martin if a reformer had done that it would have been a good business move right? But that is an argument I wonder if that's been thought out when the Chinese are going to take resources directly out of our country by owning land here?

Our current government has to turn the radio on to realize whether we re Ina recession or not.

I also think it is not prudent or practical to state you re not gonna run a deficit. No one knows what the world economy will bring in a matter if days never mind over a year. Sometimes it a necessary for govs to lead the way.

So what, in the end we will grow what the consumer wants. And if that includes soil erosion and tillage, so be it.

The active ingredient in Roundup, glyphosate, was in March classified as "probably carcinogenic to humans" by the UN's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC).
The weedkiller—used by amateur gardeners as well as farmers—is the star product of American biotechnology giant Monsanto.
"France must be on the offensive with regards to the banning of pesticides," Royal said on French television.
"I have asked garden centres to stop putting Monsanto's Roundup on sale" in self-service aisles, she added.
Her announcement comes after French consumer association CLCV asked French and European officials to stop selling glyphosate-based products to amateur gardeners.
Glyphosate—introduced in the 1970s under the brand Roundup but now manufactured generically—is the most-produced weedkiller in the world, according to the IARC.
The agency's evaluation of glyphosate saw "limited evidence" of a type of cancer called non-Hodgkin lymphoma, as seen in studies in the United States, Sweden and Canada conducted among farm workers since 2001.
The US agribusiness giant Monsanto strongly contested the IARC classification, saying "relevant, scientific data was excluded from review".
Royal also announced last week that from January 2018 phytosanitary products—used to control plant diseases—would only be available to amateur gardeners "through an intermediary or a certified vendor".

Boarder CRAWL BACK UNDER YOUR ROCK YOU REDNECK ****

[boarderbloke]

stubble****, go to the top of the thread and read what I posted, then read what YOU posted.

Your attack was completely unwarranted!

Are you so ****ing old, that you get names mixed up in your head, before you can even type them???

[sumdumguy]

Boarder, get a grip! There are anger management classes available. I am old too, but not too old to see the writing on the wall.

[farmaholic]

Has it got to the point where judgement is made based on the author of the post versus it's content?

But most times, a poster will always sing from the same hymn book.

I hope I'm not so narrow minded that I can't see the merits of each side of an argument/debate. No one is always right all the time, except spouses.

Take a little drive through the R.M's Hanover and La Broquerie and see where and what type of land they are using for their spread fields. They built the barns so close together with not enough land to spread on, as the manure management rules to start with were based on Nitrogen and not Phosphorus. That in it's self is the problem, the over application of phosphorus compared to the crop removal rate. Therefore leading to run off.

Therefore to many Hog barns with not enough spread acres.

Stonepicker, as usual you talk about things you have no clue about. Oh Ya, you calling me a Lefty is a joke because, I have stated a few threads ago that I'm voting Liberal. Again learn to read before you TYPE!!!!!
