Thoughts on Canadian ev tariff

Yup. Few years ago companies got on board pushing beans here (soy).
Typical August no rain. Boom, haven't seen em since. Odd faba field.
Canola belt became so for a reason.
We're trying to change it up somewhat, but will likely always max the canola acres.

IMHO you have to be willing to sacrifice the lentil crop to get a soybean yield.

There was a 1 nice lentil field here last yr.
Most often just grow like hay.
Guy from the Punjab told me their lentils grow near knee high?

Maybe a few of you don’t see too far past your back yard
many of us have tried and are growing a range of crops and not canola balls too the wall . So no not “boom”
we have grown fabas , black beans , lentils , peas , canary seed , hard white spring wheat , winter wheat , oats , feed barley , malt barley . And so have most others.
speacialty crops have a fit for sure but many producers have been burnt with specialty crops processors with bankruptcy , year long delays in delivery and non payment.
Thats a very naive view that farmers should try to grow something else

The chart of dreams?

Never stops going up.

Just checked Saskatchewan crop insurance 5-year fabo Bean average 36 bushels. Alberta 2024 even lower than that. I didn't try to calculate the entire alberta 5-year average.

Not a great sales pitch.

Neighbor was filling in two dugouts with his cat this week. Don't think the cows are coming back. More room to grow canola I guess

Old cattle guys quitting here, young guys NOT interested...
