Canada's first wheat-based pulp mill planned near Regina

[Sodbuster]

We’ve been no till for almost 30 years and I’m not about to give my straw away for cheap for the gains I’ve made in my soil profile.

Funny place to put it for sure.
Even if it was feasible.
Wouldn't closer to the straw be better.

Amen, Wheat straw is worth at least $100/t at previous p205/k2 prices before... plus baling and transport.

On top is the moisture preserving soil conditioning attributes of straw as mulch... easy together worth $200/ac. We have more fiber in northern Canada... there is no justification possible to do this in Regina area... unless it can be sustained with recycled paper garbage... efficiently.

If it could be done efficiently with recycled paper and cardboard, then Fiber Form would still be in business.

Maybe they could salvage some equipment from the Kamsack plant. It never turned a wheel before it closed. Then there was the flax plant at Canora. Every "investor" got stuck helping guarentee the loan when it went broke. What could go wrong?

No worries a company formed in 2019 has resources to build a 350 million dollar plant with a starter grant from the Saskparty...

And milking the grant money until someone questions the logic...

Absolutely nothing could go wrong...unless they actually build it...in 2022.

But there are plenty of Agriville farmers dumb enough to not know the value, and that is what they are banking on.

You know, the geniuses who think a vaccine is a higher risk then the disease? Its their inability to do math that justifies them to sell nutrients for 10$ and replace them for 100$.

They most likely read Agriville and knew it would work in Regina area.

I used to think that chuck was the biggest dyck on the site but you are fast becoming his main competition!!

It was tried at Elie Manitoba, and shut down in a few years.

Stacks of wheat straw scattered on forty acres remind on site for years.

Huge eye soar for the beautiful town of Elie. Regina should look at the photos and see how it will look.


I guess their thinking is with the recent increase in lumber prices, money can now be made?

Good luck Regina!

Competition is always good in a capitalist system.
It seems that Chuck is going to have to step up his game a few notches, if he wants to keep that hard fought title.
