Nice to see for you hard working folks!

Farm Investment Risk Return Initiative did this projection:

How long will people in North America accept this prescription for the virtual suicide of our heritage, culture, and economic prosperity?

Blessings and Cheers!

As the pressure to reduce carbon increases and the global financial system begins to require the adoption of certain practices as standard, Canadian financial institutions will likely give preference to borrowers who can demonstrate commitment to lowering carbon footprints and increasing resilience to climate change risks. This also means that agribusinesses (such as farm equipment and input suppliers, and also purchasers of agricultural products) will exert pressure on farms to adopt practices associated with carbon farming. Training and education on these topics will be essential to ensuring farmers retain autonomy over their farms, and that they can benefit from the current momentum in this area while simultaneously improving the performance and resilience of their operations to economic and climate change risk

farmers retain autonomy over their farms,

1) the head of the FCC who came from ESG leadership should scare the s/h/i/t out of everyone along with the above quote
2) banks are said to be already drafting "lending criteria" based on carbon farming

EU farmers are flipping out - what are you doing?

The ChuckE's of the world are still dividing and winning this fight...

Very interesting Larry…

Since farmers are now 1% of the population… we have virtually no practical political power …

People wanting to feed their pets meats could be a more stable market opportunity… as the population ages… pets replace children in families…

Immigrants are coming in scores… they have the children… engineered social manipulation… they often believe they are beholden to the Liberals/NDP… therefore vote for them… woke and broke…

Cheers

Never before in history will we see a further decline in herd size while prices rise. Perfect off ramp for many holding on for better times.

Those fences aren’t coming back. Even if markets were like the 90’s where cattle pencilled better than grain I don’t see the present group of farmers interested going into or getting back into cattle. It’s a different era now.

I agree , you can't auto steer a herd of cattle at the best of times. The other thing that has been pointed out is while cattle prices are up 25% , expenses are up 45%.

There is no incentive for young guys to build a cattle herd. Even with some land that has no other use than growing cattle or wildlife.

It is quite embarrassing to see the subsidies to dairy while completely ignoring the value of a cow calf guy to this country's economy.

Did Trudeau give cattle and hog guys access to interest free loans like they did grain farmers?

I don't think he is trying to break any one in AG given pay day loans and other things he has supported.

A new chore tractor is touching $300000 and a new baler is $90000. Fuel, land, inputs to grow greenfeed/silage etc.etc. are all way up in the past few years. This rise in prices isn't a win fall, it's necessary for the industry to survive. These cattle prices need to be the new normal.

Lefty loonies like the ones on here are probably on board with this

[BreadWinner]

Ag is now being targeted, racist, white, colonial, environmentally damaging, rich capitalists, animal killers, the list goes on and on. The fight is just beginning with the sights being set on farmers. Feds hate farmers so don’t expect them to stand up against the woke leftys.

Cheaper for Canada to BUY all our food, than keep agriculture viable....on the edge of impossible climate, longest, most costly haul on earth to markets..

Herd all into 15 minute cities, no industry only Gov jobs and service industries. EV will be viable if you go NOWHERE. Fewer roads, fewer rails, simpler country.

Less electrical generation needed. Land all back to 1500's condition, original inhabitants take care of it.

There fixed it.
