Freewheat, sounds like you have a very
good idea. I wonder how many, if any
other farmers have a contingency plan?
Nearly all of us western Canadians are
farming on the edge of the productive
farmland as far as climate in concerned,
then we push the limits even further
with long season crops. It would take
very little change in temp or growing
season length to make most of us
unviable. Could this be a taste of what
is to come, or will this year be just an
anomaly as the relentless global warming
keeps progressing until we are growing
pinapples at the 60th parallel? My plan
is to hope that global warming is real,
while preparing for the opposite to
happen.
