Might be a good time to have @fordnation announce that Ontario will join with many other jurisdictions and allow dyed diesel in farm plated vehicles??? Very easy to implement and effects would be immediate..even tho not near enough to cover the financial carnage being felt!
This is what pain looks like in the agri-food sector...

Next Tuesday the 15% tariff goes on all parts for my combine I have no alternative but to pay it as it’s the middle of harvest and I need to keep running Our leaders need to get back to the table and figure this out soon as it costs consumers on both sides of the border – at Trochu, Alberta

This is pretty cool. Developed by our X buddy @jcurtis7ac This is a super simple, affordable, effective way to monitor planter weight in changing conditions. This guy might play the clown on here for fun but make no mistake about it he’s a pretty sharp dude. We prototyped one for him. curtisdownforce.com/

THIS SITUATION IS JUST ANOTHER REMINDER! 1) FEDERAL FERTILIZER TARIFF NEEDS TO GO 2) MORE NITROGEN PRODUCTION CAPACITY IN EASTERN CANADA IS A MUST! @AAFC_Canada @fordnation @GrainFarmers @GrainGrowers IT'S NOT LIKE WE HAVEN'T BEEN TELLING YOU!
How hard has nitrogen been on farmers? NOLA urea - Dec 4, 2025 - $350 - Today - $600 71% higher over 90 days Dec '26 corn - Dec 4, 2025 - $4.65 - Today - $4.73 2% higher over 90 days Make more nitrogen here at home.

Don't worry Canada. Probably couldn't do much else with a HALF BILLION DOLLARS anyways 🤷🏻‍♂️ Just shut up and keep paying your taxes.
Failed ‘Two Billion Trees Program’ cost $487,891,090, including $44.6 million in administrative costs, according to @NRCan. Program fell 89% short of tree planting target. blacklocks.ca/feds-tree-sche… @JonathanWNV @cathmckenna @s_guilbeault @Mario_Beaulieu #cdnpoli

Isn't it odd that the moment any sector of business in Canada gets hit with a tariff there is immediately billions of dollars available for that industry. Even Ukraine can manage to get $20 billion from Canada (note: Ukraine is not in Canada). But when Farmers are threatened with tariffs it is radio silence even though it is $150 billion/yr industry, one of the largest Agriculture economies in the world.

A bunch of councillors in the city of Chatham decided they could save money by discontinuing dust control on gravel roads. This is my bean field, imagine the houses along these roads

Any deere dry rate controller experts? Need a new harness between the deere cont harness and machine components. Ag express guy is confused by these little Raven boxes. 4 wires go in but only two come out. What are these things and are they actually needed?

Red flags at every turn... 🚩 Despite a $5M cap, the Liberals handed $8.5M to Aspire Food Group — now on the verge of collapse and headed for receivership. To make matters worse, Farm Credit Canada funneled $41.5M of farmers’ money into this failing venture. This is yet another clear example of the Liberals' blatant disregard for accountability, fiscal responsibility, and the trust of Canadians. Stay tuned for more.
