After talking with Protein Industries canada ....I feel this is snake oil ....if you can't promise to provide better returns to primary producers then the system is flawed....you can't have scientists and others feeding off taxpayers money without results to the very people that have to make the product in the first place....


Otherwise you are just creating an industry that can move to where they do value farmers....like India or Russia.....where there is population and freight advantages....


And thats exactly what will happen...

Taking from my tax dollars and my checkoff dollars....with a system that administers tax dollars to every crazy that comes up with a protein idea with no performance attached to it....??????

How do primary producers buy into this nonsense....every one lives on taxpayer dollars except the very people that take the real risks to make it all happen....

The only thing that I don’t get with society today and A&W’s sell on hormone free food is summed up with this ...

But if plant based proteins is what they demand , so be it , we will grow it , just pay for it at the primary producer level , not feed all the leach’s in between and expect farmers to do it for nothing . We have families to raise and massive risks to take growing crop that make that plant protein . Without us , they have nothing ... as proven why they had to ditch the veggie burger. It’s not rocket science... just give the primary producer an incentive to do it !! Why is that such a fukin bad thing ???

Wonder what the taste preferences are for the new faces of Canada and Europe that Liberals favour.

wouldn't that have been a good job (processing) for the pulse people to have been working on?
but the main man informed me that their main focus has been on increasing production?????
oblivious to the problem , the whole ****ing works of them
money comes in to easy for them , I guess
everyone needs to get on the ****ing phone

Where the hell is our pulse board? Western Producer reports important pulse information but you don’t —- you tits!

We have also shown that certain foliars can add 1.5 to 2% protein . But no one willing to pay ... yet . So without a premium on current pea prices there is very little incentive to grow them let alone produce more .

Can the protein increase you are discussing be proven by a peer reviewed scientific research document?
I am asking because I find that interesting and it may provide value to my farm.
