So Trudeau goes with the bloq....

[bucket]

And doesn't think there will be a national unity crisis????

He caved or will cave to their demands as Blanchet the separatist pointed out yesterday...

Nothing about agriculture , pipelines or oil....not a word....

SO while the conservatives wait for their marching orders from the WCWGA and their masters ...many more farmers than what are subscribed to any one organization will be forced to exit....

That all started back when Yerry was ag minister along with Devin from Alberta when they gutted farm programs and no one since has put any action to fixing the support to primary producers....while we compete against a minimum 30 billion USD dollar handout to farmers that has dropped our prices here in Canada considerably...

Drought in Australia buying Canadian wheat, other production issues around the world and we are getting feed wheat prices with good falling numbers....

Even John Barlow mentions Agrifood in his letter ...Agrifood comapnies.have the ability to re-coup costs and some are funded by government...

We have zero representation....even while the NFu makes good points everything is tied back to climate change...

When are people going to recognize farmers have made tremendous strides in making their farm efficient...They have hit the wall and not sure there is much left to gain....unless we get perennial varieties that allow us to seed every 5 years...Not sure how much less carbon I can emit ....

Nitrogen fertilizer is one area where maybe there are some more opportunities to reduce emissions. It is one of the single biggest fossil energy inputs in crop farming.

Fertilizer producers will be looking at ways to reduce emissions.

Nitrous oxide emissions are 300 times more powerful than CO2 emissions. Improved management of fertilizer use and crop rotations may provide some further opportunities to reduce Nitrous oxide emissions.

Clearing marginal land and draining wetlands which are both large carbon sinks might have to be reduced or replaced with equivalent carbon sinks.

Governments should be providing financial incentives to adopt BMPs and perhaps financial penalties to discourage bad management practices.

Interesting comments ....here is some local events that are taking place...

While DU writes studies about the benefits of water storage in lakes and marshes and for flood mitigation....they are actively trying to reduce the holding capacity of some local lakes which goes against what they advocate for and the result will be a flood in Moose Jaw eventually....The funny part is WSA is giving them permission to eradicate the effort that PFRA did decades ago to prevent these types of things...

And the PFRA had real engineers ...their works would have lasted decades longer than anything DU has built...

Well it’s a good thing western Canadian farmers have been world leaders in growing pulse crops over the past 30 years ....... way ahead of most countries.
Chuck are you using Nitrogen stabilizers? They have been available for many years now

We might be world leaders in growing pulse crops but our markets are being handed over on a silver platter to places like Khakistan and Russia.....

We used to sell grains to Russia...somewhere over there in the FSU they are building a flax processing plant....

They like agriculture ...governments there see the value in it...

Lucky for us we are giving money to the Asian infrastructure bank to have those countries serve the Chinese market....

First we had Ritz destroy farm supports ,,,then Trudeau destroyed our markets ....while propping up the fat boy who is now telling us to accept the new realities while he sucks on the government tit.
