Sask3. You are so full of shit, the reason you have gone no till is so you can grab more, just look at your posts about the climate change, its all about your bottom line.

There isn't a farmer around that can say with a straight face that they went zero till because they wanted to help the environment. Everyone did it to up their bottom line and knock out wind erosion issues. No till has made marginal land productive. It also makes good time with a one pass operation while cutting back man power and fuel because of less passes and equipment to run. It was and still is one of the greatest advances in farming history.

Why hasn't anyone put a value on carbon sequestering?

Crop insurance has yearly records of seeding intensity.

They could look at your records. Determine the value. And either pay the 10 dollars per tonne or apply it against your crop insurance... and as Trudeau's tax increases the more we make. Tin foil time.


If you go protill a quarter then you may have to pay a fee....but once its back in continous cropping you are paid.

Might take some extra field men but with the right program it could be easily administered for everyone.

Here we get paid roughly $1.50/ac/year. Owned by land owner, signed over by most to actual farmer.
Protill etc, and lose payment for that year.

BP , is that just since carbon tax went on , or always there? we had that 10-15 yrs ago?
... incidentally , I have it figured that this sask budget going to cost us $3-$3.25 /ac on our farm

So for the 9600 is it really worth it?

I think they are light on what they should be paying a farmer.

Weve been getting for over 10 yrs anyway.
