agri-invest = environment audit?

flea beetle said - If they do an environmental audit on the farm, should there not be on the cities as well

Yes, there should be. When I look at the growth of cities JUST IN THE LAST 50 YEARS, it leads me to believe that cities are the problem. They are an incredible heat sink considering all the concrete.

Seems odd to me that when you see those shots of North America from space that show all the lights where there are lots of people and the darkness where there are relatively few like where we live that it is all the dark areas that are now needing to cut emissions.

Bad cows
Bad oilfields
Bad forestry
Bad farmers etc etc.

Well Bucket, you and I were dead against the Code of Practice as designed, so it's getting put through in a different way.
Obviously we were right.

I asked the question during that code of practice online meetings if they were talking to the government about their plans.

It embarrassing that farmers were involved with promoting this instead of explaining what farmers have done environmentally.

And even more frustrating is that provinces signed on.

How about no deadline for agri-invest deposits?

No agristability fees?

Did they tie environmental concerns to handing out all the pandemic aid to the average Canadian?

Do people really need agrinvest to stay solvent? The day they require an environmental audit, is the day I am done with the program. It is a nice perk, but in no way decides whether I can eat or not for the year.

If they do an environmental audit on the farm, should there not be on the cities as well? Do you think that dumping raw sewage into rivers, or big plumes of exhaust spewing from factories should get a pass?

Interesting that at one percent to a maximum of $10000 , on most average sized farms it would take 50 years to cover off one disaster year.

For Btos it doesn't do much at all.

Bucket we treat aginvest just like another resp. Govt match we yank it out every yr and throw it in the stock market.

Never did we think it was a disaster program. There is only ever going to be one disaster program and that’s crop insurance. Provinces should dump all this frame work crap and tell the feds to FO.
