      I read nothing in Tom's responses crying for sympathy or anything else.

      Do try and deny your nature occasionally.

        Just heard COP26 had a supposed agreement of 40t$ of capital to not have investments in fossil fuels.

        Interesting over the weekend an acquaintance reported that their family could not run air conditioning this summer in Edmonton area city…

        Because their neighborhood plugged is their EV ‘s when they got home and overloaded the local electrical grid.

        We have seen nothing yet in the complexities and complications to come… the obvious outcome of the poorly planned supposed conversion to Zero carbon energy sources… which in fact is not practical nor realistic in the next ten years… for the vast majority of our energy requirements.

        Hold on tight… this is the perfect storm of volitility and supplies being stranded and breaking down just in time delivery of food and energy.

        Cheers… a bright new future for those who can ride this Bronc… it is a wild time ahead!!!

          Which would still be a bargain compared to the economic and ecological cost of trying to farm without it.

            Glyphos was over $20 lt when direct seed was becoming accepted??
            Lot went on at 1/2 ltr if there were no perennials.

                Should be a glyphosate plant running in western Canada by mid summer.

                      Still will be bringing in the salt from china, and all of the additives from the US and blending it here, instead of sending all of the attitudes to China and sending back all of the bulked up liquid. Still subject to supply of the underlying chemicals, and shipping disruptions.
