One thing I missed in Skippy’s announcement and read on Realagriculture:”the plan includes setting a national fertilizer emission reduction target of 30% below 2020 levels. Fertilizer target is voluntary and aspirational notes a government official.” Yeah I bet it stays voluntary if Justupid gets re-elected!

Will that apply to Quebec farms as well , or they exempt again ?

[farmaholic]

Like carbon tax when it first came out , this 30% reduction goal is just a start .
Agree Hamloc, this was coming a while ago . We are mid fertility guys as well.
I see forward where the government will possibly decide how much fertilizer we may use and and anything above that level will be taxed very high . Will be the basis of this first 30% reduction goal probably.

Sad part is , nitrogen fixing crops such as peas / lentils have been decimated by root rots .

What does this do to the practice of floating "schtoopit" expensive "schmar"t nitrogen on?

Good question , time will tell.
Many restrictions will be coming .
This is what our “Ag groups” need to be focused on . We will see a lot of changes under this great reset and we need a lot better info of how they will effect every thing we do . A lot of practices will be forced to change due to high carbon tax enforcement. They will make it totally unaffordable to do certain practices.
Good or bad , it’s coming .
Interesting times ahead .
The schmart ones may have got out of it already ...... or move to Quebec where everything is exempt under their cap and trade policy with California.
Some are about to get skinned in western Canada . Will have to change or be forced into bankruptcy through excessive taxation and environmental regulations.
It’s a dream of the extreme environmental and climate movement.

In my 10 mile drive to feed cows it worth noting the 1000s of acres that have been floated in the last month..

Are they spreading elemental sulfur? It needs to oxidize

[SASKFARMER]

Phone a friend in Europe and then after you get off the phone make sure the gun cabinet is locked and the wife has the key. Rules that are coming will change farming forever in Canada. THe great reset is some farms will say **** it this shit is insane and quit. Others that are sucking the tit of following skippy will rejoice as they go bankrupt. Others will struggle on and hope for the best as the rest of the world hands us our lunch. Do you honestly think farmers in Ukraine or Russia or SA will follow the rules skippy wants us to follow. Were all getting the same price who will win. Not Canadians for sure.

The funny part is I feel no farm group has focused anything on what is coming and letting farmers know what is coming. It's all about the carbon tax on grain drying and the stupid Ag stab useless program and irrigate 40 farms in the SW.

Super U and Biosol plus all the new snake oils that will be coming down the pipe.

I had that in my comments but deleted it but that could be....tonnes of fertilizer is out already and its bone dry.....

Dugouts that are dry and getting expanded ...the track hoe operator said 8 feet of powder...

It's not about how much a tank of gas costs the average taxpayer it's about being able to compete in world markets as a country.
We don't have the population base to be able to ignore exports.
All the MSM can see is the price of gas to the consumer.
The Linerals send out a press release and they consider that reporting.
All sitting at home on thier fat asses.

I know even before I start I will get blasted and called a LIBERAL but here goes anyway, I have asked before how much crop do you produce and how much do you buy. Is targeting yields realy profitable in the long run,you cant control weather. Not all that many yrs ago dryers were very uncommon,now everyone needs one because they cant wait on the weather because of (to many acres)mabey.
Could farming go back to mixed ,with grass in rotation, I supose not at least not when everyone wants to farm 5 to 10 thousand acres. I have seen big operations fail and smaller operations leave to an easier life in town with a job.
I would like to see a profit and loss sheet on some of these larger operations ,high imput as compared to low cost imput. I havent used fert in 40 yrs and grow probably on average 70 bu bly on a 3 to 4 yr grass rotation. If you are like me with no debts you can pretty well do as you please but with land and equipt payments I dont see why some even try. Someone elses money I guess.

I still think a lot are just chasing their tail

Most farms were cattle and grain here with good rotation of grass,pasture and crops. But BSE changed that and the young pups are not going back. You can always pick out home 1/4s here after building site is gone because nutrient levels are higher from years of cow poo.
