Making New Land

[furrowtickler]

There is also a project in north central Ontario some where . One local guy folded up tent ⛺️ and went out there.

Bush clearing going on around here in the Edmonton area as well. Know of a number of fields that were bush a few years ago. Recently cleared land has been for sale in the area for a couple of years too. You get to bush the brush piles but they are not able to sell at $400000 per quarter. Wonder why.

Hope it works better than the Alberta version - the land cleared up at Ft Vermillion/La Crete in the last decade. Anyone got an update on that project?

Majority of it is being farmed, not sure what you thought had happened. Though it is very far from markets.

Assuming cleared properly and roots have been picked and it is not swamp, the recently cleared land is the most productive for several years, and weed free.

So what's the big deal, you farmed in Manitoba and now in Sk, who do you think opened those lands? Pioneers who cleared the land with horses in many cases and no modern equipment. That's something note worthy!

Now you post pictures of land being open in Argentina initiated by a government with all sorts of modern equipment which is on the verge if not already dealing with economic collapse. So what!


"Argentina's currency woes have deepened in recent weeks despite determined policy responses on the part of the government and the central bank, as well as a $50bn financial package from the IMF.

The country is now the world's riskiest sovereign borrower behind Venezuela. It's currency, the peso, has halved in value this year against the dollar. Today, Argentina is on financial life support, with the highest interest rates in the world."


Are you thinking of setting new roots soon?

How many times have I heard the saying, “ they aren’t making any more”? (With respect to land)

I don't know of any specific "project" up there. But know some organic farmers from that exact area. They clear new land, it is certified organic immediately, nearly all of their neighbors are organic as well, so no issues with setbacks or contamination. Growing high value crops including hemp, buyers pay freight, something about that climate makes for very high quality that buyers can't get enough of, and making very good money.

I think the point he is trying to. make is that they are trying to adress problems in Ag ?
Harper didn't give a shit , this guy even less?
biggest concern here is trans , gay, rights etc. , I couldn't care less about those issues one way or another , but there is a lot bigger fish to fry , as they say, here in this country right now
people have lost sight of what our forefathers knew , if Ag is healthy , all is well .
