Agricultural Economist. Commercial grain farmer. Science believer. Cynical critical thinker.
China has 100% tariff and India 30% effective Nov 1/25. Our crop will store but we are in the business of selling grain not storing grain.

That’s great news. Hoping you can slip field peas into the conversation. We’re sitting on our entire 2025 crop with no buyers. India and China both stopped buying because of our EV tariffs. I think you know what needs to be done.

Honest question …. What is the purpose of senate committees. After RFK’s appear nothing ever changes. Never walk back any stupidity they ever say or do. So what purpose do they serve??

What do you propose for support? I’m sure you’re aware current safety nets are inadequate.

Do you have numbers on current labor shortage? I see biggest issue being ag requires seasonal labor.

Our crew is 60 year olds not ready to retire but done with their “job” and the after work 30 to 40 years olds who will book time off cuz they love farming

Too bad we don’t have a public health department to inform the public.

Gold. That’s pure gold. Bahahahaha

Is there any evidence of this? I don’t want to quote these numbers if they are just a “gut feel”.

When told “how it work” they are shocked.

They have no idea how export will get to port thru another country. Don’t know how currency, defence nor how anything will work.

Alberta farmer here. My friends, farmers and non. Do NOT support separation. Although I know many that do. Those people do NOT know who developed equalization formula (Harper, Kenny et al), how Ab sends money to Ottawa (it’s personal and corp income tax which they each pay)
