And how does the UN figure we have the highest carbon emissions in the world with farming? I’m betting Russia and China doesn’t run pollution crap on their tractors and combines. What a fracking joke

For a government and organization that’s so worried about global food crisis’s, food shortages etc. they sure don’t seem to have any ideas on how to reduce the crisis/shortages. Only seem to have ideas on how to cripple the hand that feeds you.

Man.. did you read the article?

This is way beyond the tractors and combines. Their talking emissions generated from the use of fertilizer.

This is a big deal. And absolutely ludicrous that the UN would point fingers at Canadian farmers. How much fertilizer do they use in the US or Europe?

It's all a joke. So let's cut the farming down so less emissions, then we can a starve to death. Yeah somehow the world over looks their emissions, all part of the big conspiracy that's coming true. Emissions are just another way to control people. I'm not eating cricket burgers ever. These people are phyco paths.

all the people and farmers should go to an APP meeting in their area and listen to what they are planning for the next provincial election or go to their website and check it out

The government should be paying the farmers for seeding a crop every year...all plants take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Ya don’t wreck a tire on any farm equipment very hard to find. Guys around here are having trouble finding Raven parts like flow meters and valves. It’s dry as hell here to with a lot of wind. Lots of guys are starting tomorrow but no one is excited. Hopefully it’s like the old saying seed in dust and your bins will bust.

Just read a story where the Russians cleaned out an entire John Deere dealership in the Ukraine hauling everything to Chechyna. As soon as Deere was notified of the thefts they immediately located the units with GPS and then shut those units down remotely. Russian engineers are now trying to reverse engineer those units to get them operational again or they may be sold for parts. Lots of stories of grain theft from Russians as well.

I have a set of 40 disc openers. We prematurely changed them this year with only 3/4" wear. They measure 19 3/4". New ones are 20 1/2".

I'll sell them to somebody if they want them. looking for $1500.00
