    NFU Still Undermining Agriculture

    In CBC article this morning, Glenn Wright from Vanscoy, (just out of Saskatoon) is interviewed because he wrote a letter for intervener status in Carbon Tax Supreme Court Challenge. He stands in front of his 1960 faded out International white cab telling all of Canada that he is more open-minded and he thinks the carbon tax is actually an opportunity not a cost. He drys his grain with an electric heater supplemented with solar panels. This got my day off to a great start now that my perspective has been corrected. 😝 This country is so screwed up.

      If the economic theory and agricultural vision held by many come to pass, that's exactly how you're going to dry grain.
      Spend a portion of your reading time on it.

        Yeah saw that too. Where pray tell, does his electricity come from to dry his grain? Lol. Says he has a solar panel, to ‘offset the cost’.

        They make it seem like it is a battleground issue. Yeah, no.

          Is this a former NDP politicians partner? Theses NFU/NDP characters and their families sure seem to get interviewed lots by CBC and presented as a “typical” farmer.

          In other words he does drying using coal powered electricity to run aeration fans. Any heat added to fans would involve diesel, propane or NG.
          LOL.....solar panels drying grain.

            If solar panels work so good for drying grain. Why didn’t he just wait a day or two and combine it dry?

                  Burn some grain or better yet, clean your grain, run the screenings through a gassifiers, presto carbon free heat. Plus you're trucking less garbage so burning less fuel on the road, plus you get away from the carbon tax.


                  $65,000 buys you a gassifier big enough to dry grain or heat your entire farm

                    Great idea if you already have a grain cleaner set up 👍
                    If not add $300,000 to $500,000 to set up a decent cleaner to handle the crop on an average size farm .
                    Easy to say , not so easy to pay for and justify for most average farms with no multimillion dollar side business helping out farm expenses

                    Custom grain cleaners are $.75/bus now
                    That needs to be factored in

                    We actually looked into it but the overall cost way too high for our farm for the minimum savings .... at the time .
                    Maybe some day , but we need more consistent harvests here and growing seasons to get back to decent returns for the crops we grow
                    The past two years with very poor harvest in this area due to extremely early snowfalls and early frosts does not leave much left on the table for extra projects
