climate change or illegal immigration? And if you deny climate change is happening, does that mean you condone illegal immigration? An article in today's NYT says 28% of the Hondurans in last year's caravan were farms/farm workers and climate change was one of the reasons they were trying to sneak into US. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/world/americas/coffee-climate-change-migration.html?emc=edit_th_190414&nl=todaysheadlin es&nlid=509750830414 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/13/world/americas/coffee-climate-change-migration.html?emc=edit_th_190414&nl=todaysheadlin es&nlid=509750830414

Something about the above comment has me concerned.
I would have to ask a few simple questions.
One was in the USA are these poor migrants going to be able to afford more than an inch of land. Have you priced out the cost of an acre of land in the USA?
Second climate change is happening and destroying were they come from.
Ah, I'm sitting on my front deck and can't believe in three weeks every single thing I pruned has grown back. I'm roughly the same area just on the north side not south of where these people come from.
So again just how stupid are people to believe this bullshit. Just asking for a friend.

The bigger problem is the people endorsing climate change ...like Trudeau ....do more harm flying around than the people ....like farmers who do things to make it better....
Trudeau has flown a lot of miles in the last month....and he doesn't even pay a carbon tax on his free taxpayer funded trips....the carbon tax alone on his trips would exceed 10000 dollars.....why does he get an advance from his trust fund to pay it.....Last edited by bucket; Apr 14, 2019, 07:52.

But some of the guys may be suited for US orchards and plantations so why not apply as a temp seasonal worker.
There have always been disasters everywhere but what keeps us ahead of the game is our technological progress. I doubt Honduras went through a decade of blowing dirt like our grandparents did in the 30s.Last edited by jazz; Apr 14, 2019, 07:48.

You addressed virtually this same question on the dairy farmer thread.
“Most coffee farmers live with less than $2 per day and grow coffee in areas below two hectares for a total production lesser than 6 bags, 360Kg kilograms of coffee per year.â€
https://thecoffee.blog/all/market/how-coffee-price-below-1-00-affect-coffee-farmers/
The question should read: What is your government currently using to scare you and how effective is it.
My vote goes to Climate Change.
I think the climate will have near 0 effect on my short life but Government climate programs will sap away my lifestyle.

In what way do you consider Saskatchewan the same area as "where these people come from"? Are your Saskatchewan coffee crops failing too?
You do illustrate your point very well about stupid people.Last edited by dmlfarmer; Apr 14, 2019, 09:28.

Whats your solution dml? Anyone who is experiencing climate change or persecution or war or poverty in their own country should be stuffed in here?
