    Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable crops CRSC

    Another umbrella group where everyone joins and strikes out on a mission to add more aggravation to the day to day operations of farmers....WHY another group?????

    What farmers need are :

    1. Fair and equitable contracts
    2. Carbon credits for their contribution to saving the environment
    3. Less farm groups doing SFA
    4. Consolidation of farm groups not farms...
    5. Mandatory sales reporting from the members in this group

    But here is the scam......With funding from the Western Grains Research Foundation, the CRSC commissioned two literature reviews to assist members in accessing relevant research.....

    Just another leech on farmers money....money to assist accessing research?????????

    Someone tell me I am off base in my opinion that this seems like a scam.

      Not necessarily a scam. There will be a purpose, without a doubt.

      Whose research will be made available? Who is the real sponsor?

      A while ago someone called me to make sure I was aware of the $500 "grant" available to complete a "study" on cow-calf efficiencies, etc.

      I looked at it. The last paragraph said that this study will qualify me to receive regular reports on raising beef sustainably, lowering greenhouse gases yada, yada...

      There will be a hook.

        $=sustainability.

        Pay producers properly and they will grow it.

        Why don't some Industry players vertically integrate and grow what they need themselves.

        What is the definition of sustainability? = farmers growing crops "responsibly"?

            You haven't convinced me it is not a scam....

            I have been to a few cow and calf sales over the years....when they bring in a lot of calves they dont talk about the producer raising them sustainably.....they talk about how pretty and table top they are and how they will be ripping the grass....

            The auctioneer doesnt talk about their methane reduced feeding practices....DO they?

            Sustainable is just another buzzword made up by people like the DO MORE Ag or AGVOCATE types to access money from wherever under the disguise of helping farmers...

            You know what would help farmers.....read thread about what is going on in the states with adhoc / direct payments to farmers...that would solve alot of issues...

              Bet I can tell you the names of some of the people that will be on that group getting paid. Same ones that are on most other groups and have been on everyone for their whole careers.

                Take a look at the following lists:

                The CRSC Governance

                The CRSC is governed by representatives of each of the following member categories who sit as members of the CRSC Steering Committee:

                Grower association (provincial, regional or national)
                Value chain council / commodity association
                Grain handler / marketer / exporters
                Input supplier – seed / fertilizer / agro-chemicals / financial services
                Food and feed manufacturing / distribution / retail / food service
                Environmental associations / sustainability certifiers and services / research and academic institutions

                The members of the 2018 Steering Committee are:

                Cam Dahl - Cereals Canada (Chair)
                Cheryl Mayer - Canadian Canola Growers Association
                Salah Zoghlami - Producteurs de Grains du Québec
                Jim Tokarchuk - Soil Conservation Council of Canada
                Taryn *****on - Canola Council of Canada
                Jackie Carleton - Pulse Canada
                Roy van Wyk - Canadian Seed Institute
                Kara Barnes - Barley Council of Canada
                Clyde Graham - Fertilizer Canada
                Russel Hurst - Croplife Canada
                Sonya Jenkins - Animal Nutrition Association of Canada
                Paul Thoroughgood - Ducks Unlimited Canada
                Robert Demianew - Control Union
                Tyler Bjornson - Canada Grains Council
                Jeff Fitzpatrick-Stilwell, McDonald's Corporation

                Now think about it for a minute no, just a second - who on that list is going to be heard the most loudly - the first dozen or so names, or the very last one? The one whose sole motivation is protecting his corp's green-washed image for the benefit of the shareholder and marketing purposes?

                The last one has absolutely no risk in pursuing his goals. He picks his favored products off the shelf stocked by the sweat and blood of almost every other interest represented by the upper tier of that list. And he will run the table.

                When he speaks, every head swivels toward him and everyone else stops talking.

                But Ducks Unlimited on there? Give me a break. What a perfect example of a useless, bunch of leeches.

                  I think Agriville should be getting a call from Taryn.

                    They big names on there are just to help puppet the rest of the committee....those that are good at being told what to say are always invited to the party...they typically lack critical thinking skills

                      On the other hand, it may, indeed, be something else - not a hook, but another not-so-subtle device for gaining another level of control in ag.

                      A device that will start out sounding good, but will eventually show itself for what it really is - a lever for imposing the hypocritical green agenda on all of agriculture.

                      How many people are aware to the globalist goal of returning a huge portion of North American farmland to its original state?

                      It's called the 'rewilding" effort.

                      It is real, and it is easy to research.

                      You will not like what you find.

                      This is the end game of those who run these pop-up groups.

                        You actually sell them short - their critical thinking skills are inclined toward protecting their spot at the table.

                        A Churchill type wouldn't have made things comfortable at that table.

                        They say he wasn't very big on compromise.

                            Rhetoricals can be so much more effective than lengthy explanation...
