    That sucks , we have dealt with that for the past two harvests . Then spend all winter tried to find a home for lower grades and then miraculously next June it will be just fine .

              Why....why...why do I get so incensed with the phucking stupidity on government funded irrigation....


              There are 100000 acres of Cadillac designed systems in this province growing dryland crops....then in order to get higher value crops you need government sponsored TFW's because irrigation farmers haven't paid SFA yet and are not going to ....

                Bucket, i raised the possibility in the Freeland thread (which magically disappeared) its my opinion Canada is going to export fresh water instead of crude. Look at the allowances made in USMCA for monetization of water. Once it's dammed, it turns into a commodity. It's my opinion we are going to sell our life blood. Michael Burry, The Big Short, is looking to invest in water, last line of the movie. Look into it yourself and see if it's plausible. How do we "decarbonize" and stay solvent as a nation? They have something in mind and are not prepared to tell us yet. I suspect a nationwide ban on drilling will be announced.

                  No different here Agstar. Harvest is slow going with rain every few days and humidity like the tropics.

                    Here it is hot and dry. It felt like 40 degrees with 40 mph wind. Harvest is progressing, that’s one good thing. Just chopping the heads off and crap through the goose.
