Canada's first wheat-based pulp mill planned near Regina

market sets the demand not your soil profile.

If they start paying climate change level premiums for not knocking down forests and won't pay us for carbon sequestration why not sell a few bales here and there.

I don't think anybody is expecting to sell all their wheat straw every yr.

It’s another grant grab. Ag is a victim of so many scams. I should write a book about it and sell shares to investors to get it published and promoted.

our land needs all the straw, every year , even in the swamp

“waste straw”!!! Hahahahahaha

In our area the straw has at least the same value as the fertilizer we buy every year!!!

Its a phucking scam...just like the waste of billions on irrigation....someone has really good pictures and videos of politicians phucking something to continue to extract dollars like this.

Just a reminder...there is a 100,000 acres receiving 40 dollars an acre ....over 5 years that is 20 miiiiillllllion dollars that isn't coming out the irrigator pocket...and probably only about 350 farmers...


And in the latest announcement these are supposedly profitable farmers.

The poorest people in saskatchewan get to pay for this.

I’m a ways north of most of you posters on this site so my opinion of irrigation is different. Last number of years we’ve had irrigation from the sky but remember years we’d kill for water. Aside from growing cow feed or pasture I could never really see a benefit to the added cost and hassle of buggering with pivots or wheel moves. Not enough heat units to justify it here. Maybe down by outlook and south it makes sense. I don’t know but it makes as much sense as irrigating in the Yukon. Lethbridge Taber area or BC enjoys more heat and a lot more season than the continental weather in sk. Guys tried wheel moves with hay from the river but sold them off when it got wet again and local city waste water was irrigated on pasture and crop until pivots aged out and guys never bothered upgrading so tells you something. Anyway, stuffing billions into it sounds like a boondoggle again.
