Millions of acres

Argentina grows crops in cycles... wheat is a major crop (they are one of our biggest competitors already).

Lentils, peas, chickpeas. Flax, barley, canola (winter ****), oats.

I spit out my coffee when I read this. Man, another competitor in all the crops we are in plus probably soy and corn too.

It’s very interesting to see all this info from South America being progressive and pro active.
Here in Canada it’s the exact opposite, we have handcuffed our transportation system, and are now about to punish our Ag sector for being progressive with carbon and seed tax’s .
Then get chastised about not wanting to keep producing more for nothing by our own seed groups .
Going backwards for the benefit of a few ... the Canadian way .

We should be concerned but not a full panic yet. What will the crop be - soya, then that's not much of a threat. Secondly, the govt. Socialism is rampant down there and could throw a wrench in to things.


In a sense, Canadian farmers are very lazy. They just want to keep doing the same thing, same crops the only change they make is getting more land. That's not going to cut it in the future. A better mix of crops, more cover crops in the mix, more value added processing (oil, biodiesel, pulse protein and somebody for the love of god build a fricken pasta plant already).

Its cheaper to export the durum as seed than as light low density fragile product.
