I have to ask is the federal gov that bent or corrupt that they say in one breath we love farmers, we need farmers, they are the backbone of Canada and will lead the recovery.
Then in the next breath here is your carbon tax, clean fuel standard. All for one and one for all nations reset.
Every time the advisors for AG try to show BOBoo and her office staff the facts that farmers starting back in the early 80s had to change since the fed gov at that time said **** you we are not going to help and compete with the USA and European subsidies so you're on your own.
Farmers soon were faced with keep doing what we're doing and fail or change and try to survive. The word survive.
So as an example on our farm we bought a no-till drill in 1984 and started 36 years of direct seeding min-till and gave up summer fallow and cultivating 5 times.
Diesel was the big savings, cultivators became snow fences and the old harrow packer bar got parked, the discer well it went to ipsco. Yes, we needed glyphosate to keep the fields clean but funny after about 4 years the thistles and quack were gone. Then a discovery if you don't cult very little wild oats. In the beginning, it was a learning curve for sure.
But soon we saw the benefits of zero or min-till. Crops got better and moisture issues weren't a problem. We could go weeks without substantial rain whereas before days. The soil test came back with a surprise our land was actually getting better with organic matter. Yes, you had to fertilize more but the results were outstanding.
Then we changed again to variable-rate the first system back in the late 80s for anhydrous was not like today you did it on the go as you were seeding. It cost quite a bit we found it at Fargo Big iron. So again now we were using less fertilizer. Then came the coulter system for anhydrous and fert boots that could put granular on side and seed over there. No seed burn and again less fert and off to the races.
Then Came to the great Diesel is bad and AG switched all or most tractors to DEF along with semis and trucks etc. Less pollution going in the air.
Soil got better again over the years. When the winds came you could sit back and enjoy the clean air as your soil didn't move no matter what. In spring the runoff didn't create huge ditches and sent all to the valley. The summer rains soaked into the rich ground and runoff and pollutant into the Qu'Appelle was min.
Then the drill revolution came big rigs big Hp and variable and section control and mapping. This took ag to the 21st century and beyond. Canada one of the only places in the world where direct seeding works since we don't have to work the soil or plough and let all we capture go.
Yes, there were setbacks along the way. Hell disease with the mass of straw on the land. The heavy harrow helped at the beginning then the new salfours etc to open just a bit and break up the dirt. Still not disturbing the base. Insects we have more but then we have way more birds deer moose and other animals. AGain were helping rebuild a prairie landscape that back 200 years ago lightning would strike in Calgary and with a strong SW wind burn all the way to Saskatoon and then maybe shift and burn to Winnipeg. TRees were min look at old photos. Open as far as the eye can see.
Yes, the building of roads did help in drainage and some complaint but other places in the world that are done way better than we did in Canada.
So basically now in 2021, we are going to get the Great Reset according to Captain Skippy and the merry band of Liberals. They are so proud of Ag and all it's done but won't for one second see what we have done compared to the people of Toronto or Montreal or Vancouver. They are pushing an agenda on Western Canada.
Farmers did there part compared to 90% of the Canadians or the European green piece activists advising Trudeau on a daily basis. We did our share and now they want to hit us with rules and regulations that will cripple every single farm in Western Canada.
We aren't the problem but the solution.
BooBoo can Preach that she needs us respects us loves us is a total crock of shit when on the other side of their mouth they are going for the jugular on every farm in Western Canada.
Wake up this isn't a day trip to West Edmonton mall for fun times its reality 2021 is the year of fighting back against a useless foolish stupid Gov agenda that will punish the one area that has done their share.
It's us against them.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
