        Plastic wrap for silage and haylage would be great to eliminate. Guys haul in semi loads to local dump each spring.

        List will be greatly watered down by the time implemented. Water bottles should be #1 on list, but I bet they miss it entirely.

          So make a big ban announcement. Then not really ban things. Just limit or ban a few thing. Sounds about like a Trudeau.

            Plastic bags are recycled by the coop.
            Just to many stupid people screw things up for all..
            Even our fields have plastic bags blowing around from the neighbors.

              Chemical jugs have been recycled for at least 20 years. That has always been a good program. Totes must be the same.

                Recycled into things like baby bottles and water bottles.

                  No more jugs of chem and we now get to store kegs or totes that the smallest size is multi years of use? "I'll take a drum of pursuit" usually when govt passes extra regulation, there's an added cost that kicks in that no one saw coming. In this case im guessing the average farm will require a heated warehouse to store the smallest container being a 110l drum unless we go mini kegs like the old axial. I really don't like jugs and don't use anymore then i have to, but how's this gonna work on the concentrated products? No more twine or net wrap?

                    Arent they refilled with the same chemical again for next year? Why do they have to be recycled. Rinse and reuse.
