Letters: More harm than good

By
I am writing in response to an article in the July 8, 2021 issue of your paper titled, ‘How plant-based diets could help prevent the next Covid-19.’ What Mr. Boyer says about reducing contact with animals to prevent zoonotic diseases is true. However, his suggestion that we do this by consuming less meat and more

Letters: Cold War with China costs Prairie farmers

According to a recently released report from the Canola Council of Canada, worsened relations with China since the December 2018 arrest of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou have cost Prairie farmers $1 billion or more.

Letters: Carbon credits a bogus solution

By
I have always had great respect for Laura Rance’s understanding and support for agriculture and rural life in Manitoba. That is until I read her editorial in the Feb. 25 issue of the Manitoba Co-operator, where I was appalled to see her endorsement of Maple Leaf Foods buying bogus carbon credits from American farmers so

Letters: Buying carbon indulgences

By
I find David McInnes’s gushing about Canada’s record in food sustainability appears to be suspect. I duly note that he is under contract to 22 various and sundry special interest groups seeking some sort of good agribusiness seal of approval for food sustainability. You report Maple Leaf Foods, of listeriosis infamy, buying indulgences in response

Letters: Promote peace not war

Letters: Ag minister Pedersen should resign

By
Recently my friend had a heart attack. Our young neighbour can’t sleep. A worried widow cries when her kids are in bed. They are ranchers whose operations use leased Crown land. The devastation you and your government have caused to this small group of hard-working Manitobans is unconscionable. The budget will hardly be balanced on

Letters: Manitoba government callous to leaseholders

By
It is early morning as I write this, and I am having my first cup of coffee. Normally, I would be enjoying this small luxury of peace and quiet while my children sleep. That was before. I now spend every minute worrying about how am I going to keep my ranch… my livelihood. The threat

Letters: Concerned for the future of seed

By
As a farmer I am keenly aware of the importance of genetics when it comes to raising life, be it plant or animal. This does not make me unique, but rather defines a farmer’s historic relationship with the life we have been entrusted with, the idea being that genetics matter. This historic relationship has been
