Ditto Farmaholic but a comment for sheepwheat

Simply need a new category, “climate / weather”
It would take 90% of the derailment away from the marketing category. I have always been surprised that on all farm forums like this there is no weather category, it’s critical to how most of us make a living .
Also one for politics, some site like Ag talk even ban political discussions.
I think then many would come back and maybe the Marketing category would be more of what it should be , a place to discuss markets or grains oilseeds , pulses and livestock.
There are some good posters here like 101 , Webber , Macdon and others that have very good insight in marketing.
Any way , hopefully it can be done and people like Mallee return . Perspective from other countries is always valuable info.

I agree with what a lot are saying but I look at it this way.

The more the climate activist post and earth muffins the more people are waking up and actually giving a shit and realizing Ag is next on there agenda.

They want us gone like oil and if we don’t fight back they win.

But I also agree a climate site and global warming columns would be nice.

Oh no one will go to it.

I have found agriville very educational over the years.I have now retired but still keep in touch with the farming community.Lots of discussions have been going sideways and don’t like seeing folk leaving the site.I feel topics would not derail so fast if we all spoke with our true identity.I have been on a few threads discussing rotation which I was a canola on canola grower which some people strongly disagree with.Hiding behind the username KANOLA it made it easy to discuss it.From now on I will resort to my true name which is Guy St.Amant I farmed north of the Battlefords.

I’ve heard many good things about your farming career. You did a great job and managed things well so I was told. I know of others that partook the same venture but didn’t have the success. Your wife taught me to keep it between the dotted lines and the ditch.

My problem is all the people talking about [climate, geography, construction, science] when they clearly havent got a clue.


And then keep on about it.


Friend of mine who used to be on here got me to join... But he is long tired of the bullshit and negativity and quit posting.

Im thinking of doing the same.


Came here for farming pics and agronomy with some marketing.


Instead have Jazz chuck et al going at it in every thread with equally rediculous arguments and zero solutions.

I always found it amazing how early you guys could seed canola north of Jackfish and get very good canola stands year after year. 👍
We tried several times but our little frost pocket here got the best of us more times than not and we left some very damaged stands at times. Seems once you get south of hwy 40 to the river it is far less frost risk there as well.
BTW pike are biting at rock island, got lots , mostly small ones and only one over 7 lbs ... no walleye there yet
