Editor's Take: Self-care key before the spring rush

By
From my viewpoint, this last stretch before spring can be the dreariest time of year. A constant freeze-thaw cycle has rendered our landscape an icy mess, slightly less attractive than the ice planet Hoth from the Star Wars film franchise. It’s also about as safe to walk on as a concrete floor covered in ball[...]

Editorial: Farming in the age of Asimov

By
The first time I picked up a book by Isaac Asimov, I was in high school and the book was “Foundation.” More recently, I got around to another Asimov classic, “I, Robot.”  If your only experience with Asimov’s AI-centred opus is the 2004 movie, forget everything you know. The book has less violent robot revolution[...]

Editorial: The proxy war of Bill C-234

By
Good governance is often boring to watch from the outside. If things ever become entertaining, something has usually gone off the rails. Boring is not the word I’d use to describe Bill C-234’s push to clear Parliament in the last few weeks. On Dec. 7 and 8, drama around the bill had spilled back into[...]

Editorial: Waiting game on Bill C-234

By
Mother Nature has thrown the federal government a bone on Bill C-234. Manitoba’s weekly crop reports show harvest 2023 ran ahead of the five-year average pretty much from the get-go.

Editor's Take: The window opens

By
It’s been a long-held dream of many in the agriculture sector to see farmers paid for the environmental goods and services they provide to society. The argument goes that farmers can do great things for the environment. But as Bill Campbell, past president of the Keystone Agricultural Producers (KAP), has often noted, farmers can’t be[...]

Editorial: Global food system productive but not sustainable

By
One of the world’s leading advocates for global food security had a sobering message for the movers and shakers of Canada’s agricultural sector who attended the Nov. 30 GrowCanada conference. “The reality is, the food system is productive, but it’s not sustainable, folks,” Ertharin Cousin, told her audience of 500 industry and farm organization executives.[...]

Editor's Take: Many tools

By
Everything changed for agriculture after the Second World War. As the world went to war, the sector was largely driven by horsepower. By war’s end, it was poised for rapid mechanization and the Green Revolution. which brought about increased use of fertilizer and herbicides, all products of wartime research efforts. The widespread use of nitrogen[...]

(Guest) Editorial: Choices in autonomy grow

By
John Deere’s recent announcement that it will be selling autonomous 8R tractors for tillage this year elicited a not-surprising reaction from farmers. It was a mixed response, as is often the case for new technology, especially technology that might significantly change something they’ve been doing and, in many cases, liked doing, for generations. This isn’t[...]

Editor's Take: Getting with the times

By
I have many memories, when I was a kid, of trips to the elevator. We’d roll up the driveway and earthen ramp, into the building and over the pit. The man on duty that day — and back then it was always a man — would greet my father as we stepped off the scale.[...]
