I didn’t think anyone still harvested celery by hand anymore. I thought they had all switched to mechanical harvesters a decade or so ago. That said all the harvesting jobs that require working bent over lopping off veggies is brutal work.

If I had edited that ad I would have included about 10 seconds of Reagan speaking those words in the first 10 - 15 seconds and the switched to voiceover before ending
again with Reagan. After all he’s been dead for decades, can’t expect people to remember his voice..

Haven’t tried that one but in Canada alcohol consumption is way down, especially with GenZ. Lots of carbonated flavoured waters are really popular.

The molecule that gives caraway seeds their flavor is the mirror image of the molecule that gives spearmint its flavor.

Don't disagree but expect there will be lots of political pressure when it happens

The ethanol and biofuel mandates' prime purpose is to subsidize farmers by creating an unlimited demand for corn, soybean etc. If they happen to help the environment too, that'd be a great accidental, if irrelevant, benefit.

I have wondered that myself. Seems like events are spiralling downwards. Will someone go too far and trigger a civil war. I hope not.

Not surprising she'd get good tips. 15% of an average bill there would add up quickly.

Which winery? Been to Cooper Hawk near you a few times.

I just assume anything I read about Mark Carney at this stage is almost certainly mis/disinformation.

Feedlot pens in North America would also be a great use of solar panels. They'd generate power and double as shade structures. in Nort

Agree, that's why CPC hasn't fully jumped on the Trump anti-Ukraine bandwagon, it'd cost them votes in the CPC heartland

The world is filled with groups and nations far worse off than us. Ukraine is just one really high profile example, but no where near the grimmest one since the turn of the century.

I agree, I expect we'll see marginal land abandoned at a 1946-1955 level as it is no longer profitable to farm it. Likely the changing climate will give this process a boost as storms, droughts, floods make some areas to risky to farm and opens up new areas.

Plus again we don't actually sell SSA countries hardly anything. Our agricultural role there has been limited to giving them foreign aid money that they use to buy locally grown food.

Their birthrate, like the rest of the world's have been coming down steadily for the past 30 years. From what I understand any numbers that project SSA numbers doing that are assuming that their birthrate stays where it is at now and doesn't continue the same trend they've been on for 30 years.

About 400 million HA of farmland, an area about the size of the EU has been abandoned since the 1950's. The Guardian had a great article on it before Xmas. Great read : www.theguardian.com/news/2024/no...
