Making New Land

[grassfarmer]

I don't know of any specific "project" up there. But know some organic farmers from that exact area. They clear new land, it is certified organic immediately, nearly all of their neighbors are organic as well, so no issues with setbacks or contamination. Growing high value crops including hemp, buyers pay freight, something about that climate makes for very high quality that buyers can't get enough of, and making very good money.

The project I was referring to was when the AB Government decided to sell off about 850 quarters of bush. I know someone in the area well and he reckoned it was crazy. There is a great little micro-climate area close to the river there but as the clearing got further away from that it was getting into areas without the benefit of this little micro-climate pocket. The area is crazily dry - very short of moisture for multiple years in the last decade from what I understand. As someone said it's a long way from markets - a long ways from anything in fact - but it's real close to the permafrost lol.

I have a old D7E and I really like making new land with it and would sure like to upgrade to something like what Woodland has if I could find a good one at a good price. I have about 80 ac I could find with one.

Well, I won't tell the successful farmers up there that their project has been a disaster, or that they don't get enough rain to farm, if you don't.

Speaking of Russia, here is what their vision of ag has done over the last 20 years.

Increased production by 35 mil tonnes.
Was the world's largest exporter of wheat in 2016.

I guess they had to do something when their source of free, or almost free, wheat was drying up as the CWB was going out of business!! LOL

Somebody want to explain why other countries could grow their ag like that when the useless CWB was sitting on their asses.
With those idiots disguised as university professors producing endless BS about what a gr8 job the CWB was doing.

Need to make a trip to La Crete sometime. Relations up there say it’s something else. Just don’t get any dental work done there😀

I thought you were sayin they all had long hair and black teeth like most of us that live on the edge of civilization!

That trailer trash lady was probably just filling a local demand to extremely distressed customers.

Good thread Klause.

Argentina is a great country with nice people and dirty "shithole" political history.

Makes Canada look great.
