      Alberta shitcans everything. If you aren’t O&G or coal then you’re nothing.

        1) Sales reporting
        2) Getting rid of the whole climate change/green new steal scam. No carbon taxes and no offsets.
        3) Higher rates of interest. This is what provides discipline to ag input costs. This also promotes savvy business management and innovation. It would allow small and medium operators to grow efficiently and slow the consolidation to larger less efficient entities. For example we would eliminate industry costs of relocating bin yards every summer as well as a lot of grain bagging. Having a dozen million dollar combines on the road is simply not efficient but that is what happens in an artificially low rate environment. Much more efficient to have a half dozen operation running 2 machines each with a more local land base.
        Your list looks the best and would add one point.

        #4. Fight any new environmental regulation or code that is pushed on farmers.
