    At auckland airport time to kill thought id have look at agriville.

    100% agree jazz wether or not climate change happens our rainfall here will actually increase if it warms

    The narrative is changing or is it common sense or middle ground who knows.

      Your previous post contradicts all of the scientific literature that I have ever seen.
      I never said anything about CO2 and drought.

      But what I said is that a moisture shortage along hotter and dryer summers will still be the biggest limiting factor on yields.

      Increasing CO2 levels won't change this.

      Were the recent low drought yields in southern Alberta higher because of higher CO2 levels?

        chuck have you found a peer reviewed article yet to counter the C3/C4 settled science.

        Be happy, your alleged 40 quarter farm is going to be making tons of cash.

          So are you sure moisture is not the most important limiting factors on your farm Jazz?

            Funny when we came to canada almost 20 years ago we were strongly advised to buy good heavy land because it typically is lack of moisture that limits crop potential !! and that why we bought B land in manitoba , guess what CC dryer summers are perfectly normal for canada , allways have been and allways will be , not fantasy climate change

              Hmm, doesnt warmer air hold more moisture. Seems like 1.5C in warming (if it happens) is going to be great for planet earth. Just like it was in the Jurassic.

                Maybe get be better time spent getting the spraying done and get the fungicide for your 9 lbs / ac seeded canola chuck
                maybe pay a bit more attention to your farming practices and less time here . But me thinks you ain’t the farmer in the household

                  So moisture is not the biggest limiting factor on most of the prairies? Good soil helps. But we are not all blessed with good soil.

                  But if its hotter and dryer and there is no moisture reserve, more CO2 won't make much difference.

                  But don't let that stop you from wrongly claiming more CO2 will be good for the planet!

                    More C02 last year saved a below average from being a complete disaster….. fact

                      chuck is so uneducated is farcical. More efficient photosynthesis from more CO2 will increase plant transpiration, which will facilitate more water vapour on the planet.

                      The Sahara might green up again like it was 20,000 years ago. Cant wait.

                        its a terrible injustice that some farmers are on better land than others , sounds like your ancestors were not so smart when they stole the land years ago ! but i guess you cant be too fussy when stealing ! different for me i had to work to pay for my land , government shud do something to make sure the farmers on better land don't have any advantage , do you think they shud be taxed more ? or shud the government just steal some of their grain and give to farmers on poorer land ? a big CWB type con job could be set up to run all that , what is your opinion ?

                          Crop more lame absurd crap posts?

                          Just like Jazz delusions when he thinks the Sahara will be maybe green again in 20,000 years because of a warming climate?

                          A warmer climate will result in expanding deserts not the greening of deserts.

                          Which scientists says that deserts will turn green as the planet gets hotter?
