Beware regenerative agriculture

[Stormin]

Yesterday I saw a billboard in Edmonton touting the benefits of (RA) regenerative agriculture. I think we are at the beginning of the end if it's not stopped. This is an outdated practice, Stalinist collectivist communist ideology that will end with destroying farms and farmers. It is supported by the Globalists and the pedophile eugenecist central bankers who want to decimate populations.
Show me the data outlining the superiority of RA over mono-crops or intensive agriculture, (at present these are the best methods of feeding the world); sure it may be better for the environment like solar might be better for reducing CO2, but people are going to starve--that is abundantly clear.
We need to stand and take issue with this subtle dangerous direction the globalists are trying to steer the non-farming types into. The movement is growing. When the economy collapses, the mobs will come for your farm and your life.

Holy smokes.

Superiority over monocrops or intensive ag?

Species diversity, soil health, resilience (against drought, flood, pests, weeds), input costs (usually)

RA won’t typically compete with yield. If yield is your only standard, you’ll think RA practices are ridiculous.

For people that chase the “Feed the world” BS, they’ll spit on RA, but if you have some other concerns besides yield then researching various RA methods can be extremely beneficial.

This would make a good Meme. Tell me you know nothing about regenerative ag without telling me you know nothing about regenerative ag.

Ag is never about one thing at the exclusion of another. John Deere or NH; crop or livestock; chem or till; many people can make all sorts of methods work.

Well bring it on , it will collapse the ag industry as it is , tens of thousands of jobs , grain handlers , grain buyers , input suppliers , thousands of bank jobs , fuel suppliers , machinery dealerships, all support staff for them …….. and I am sure I missed many many other jobs .
I would go re gen , not being on this tread mill would be nice , getting gouged at every turn , then watch crop die before our very eyes

But the net effect on the economy would be disastrous, but if that’s what these clowns want that will be the case

Why would the whole industry have to be extreme regenerative?

It’s never been entirely intensive.

It can be both and everything in between.

Depends on how much they want to push this policy and continue to force this green agenda . With the current federal politics at play , I guarantee that’s the end goal. They want to slash everything modern ag , that fully evident.
Sure it may be “voluntary “ but dont think for a minute they will not make it so increasingly difficult to farm as we are , we either will be forced out or regen . That’s the end goal of all of this

Was it this ad. This one was in WEM. Dairy farmers down with the net zero agenda.

Regenerative ag here means going back to 1/3 pulse. 1/3 cereal and 1/3 chem fallow.

Maybe you havent notice but the powers that be dont give a damn about starvation.

Two completely separate issues being intertwined.
An authoritarian power hungry government full of know nothings with an anti human,anti capitalist agenda, such as the examples here on this forum who think only they know best how we should run our businesses, in spite of the communist/collectivist top down, rule by decree model having failed spectacularly in every single instance in world history.

Then we have two complementary systems of growing food. One of which requires more inputs, the other of which requires more land area to grow the same product. Both of which have many of their own benefits, which can cross pollinate.

Dairy farmers are price setters not price takers as most other farmers are, and they are protected from having to compete with the lowest cost producers in the world. So they can afford to attempt to buy social license with whatever hairbrained scheme and advertising campaign they want, and pass the costs on to the unwitting consumer.
The rest of us do business in the real world.

Can’t take what the gov is saying and tar Regen Ag with it though. One of the key tools in RA are hooves on the ground. Livestock.

I’ve yet to hear the gov, or any “top” environmental guru, say they’re promoting livestock use. They want the numbers cut down.

Sustainable is losing its freshness after being vomited at us for years so now they’re going to try and campaign under regenerative. Doesn’t mean it has anything to do with actual regenerative ag.

AB5(Price Taker?)

Hard working generational Family Farms making a living, contributing to local economies, filling rural schools, sports complexes, kids are in 4H, etc etc.

Have friends in dairy, they work their assess off, have great businesses, and give back to the area.

If they want to post billboards, why is that of any concern of yours, you've admitted to taking consumers money.
