Ontario has had restrictions on clearing trees around fields and green areas for a long time and good farm land trades for $25,000 -$40,000 per acre. You would think at that price, every tree would be gone, but nope many parts of the farming areas have lots of beautiful trees.

Speaking of Ontario.
You never did reveal how you traversed the distance between Saskatchewan and Ontario without contributing to global warming with fossil fuel emissions. Walking? Bicycling? Miniature donkey? Kayaking? Roller skating? perhaps you followed the lead of our former environment minister and used snowshoes with no snow?
To paraphrase the great chuckChuck, I am waiting. I in the singular, as opposed to we in the plural, since my opinion of myself isn't so vainglorious that I refer to myself in the plural.

Got him!

Has Chuck shared a photo of his day farming yet? Or still waiting for that…

These are fairly wild on the Hereford scale but they’re still barely past the calmest level of other breeds. It is like herding sloths though. Need to give them time to move, otherwise you just work them up and get frustrated trying to make them go in a higher gear.

When you find guys 70+ still feeding cattle they are often home raised baldies as they are about the lowest maintenance.

In this case, I think it is appropriate to use the phrase:
"We are waiting"
It would be interesting to see his operation. Solar powered everything, no fertilizer since his NFU wants us to quit using fertilizer. No fossil fuels. No grain dryer. Must be lots of livestock to be sustainable without synthetic inputs. Cover crops. A row of F#$% Pollievre flags along the road. Probably some teepee's on the back 40 where he has gifted his inheritance back to the rightful owners. A line up of outhouses with every letter of the alphabet for the diverse staff and family. A pineapple plantation to take advantage of the global warming he has been forecasting.

I think you just answered your own question. You state that there are restrictions on clearing trees, then you wonder why farmers aren't clearing trees.
Again I ask, do you even read your own posts?

Even Greta made it look like she used a sailboat and a Tesla

Seeing the same thing here all over , 20 year cycle ?

[blackpowder]

I'm a little concerned.
Farmed some from '00-03.
Don't want to see an '02 again.
Funny, landlords now charging for the sloughs farmed or not.
