Converting desert into fertile farmland

There's an uncanny resemblance between my Avatar and the picture in your last post.

Lol biglentil, but it's $6.75 #5 13 Px durum.

Just like a load of green peas they were trying to pick down below a #2, told the apprentice not to unload them because a kid grader was picking them harder than a Arkansas banjo player at competition. Told them they can pick them down to a feed if they want, I'm not unloading and WILL take them home!. They had my samples, they offered the good price and they called me......

All ended well and they even extended the good contract price to the overage, I texted the buyer and thanked him.

Now lets get this train back on the tracks, I might have to adopt those desert converting techniques in the Slum of the Ghetto this summer.

We in Canada can’t even let a far far smaller dam get built in BC because it’s terrible according to the earth muffins and natives.

We need a more hydro dams on the Sask Rivers to control flooding caused by climate change.

We have big problems when they spill water with the gates wide open.

Seems like such a waste seeing all that energy going underutilized.

I think the Cumberland First Nation would benefit too and help lobby Justin to take up such a noble cause.

Good for them. I guess I need to get out more but never knew there was desert in China. Hopefully they are more careful of contamination with these new agriculture areas than they have been in the past.

Agreed.

And what these anti-everything socialists fail to comprehend is that there is a finite amount of real capital, political capital, will power, manpower, resources, and most importantly, energy to tackle all of these environmental issues. Every dollar spent pretending CO2 is a pollutant is a dollar not available to real pressing issues such as desertification.

Grain companies have to grade accurate or they will lose customers and producers will go else where. Ritz made that clear when he got rid of CGC inspectors and over charged $100 million and left to mext gov't to clean up the mess.

You should study Allan Savory's work - the two issues are irrevocably linked. Increased concentrations of C02 is what is driving climate change there is no doubt about that, but he claims desertification increases C02 levels more than the use of fossil fuels. The solution to many of the world's problems is to holistically manage our land using grazing animals.
