Editorial: Farm policy for the future

By
It’s safe to say that most farmers in Canada don’t really know the history of farm policy developments in this country, and they don’t really care. What they do care about is whether supports will be there for them in their times of need — whether that’s when dealing with this year’s drought, last year’s

Editor’s Take: The enemy of my enemy is my friend

By
Canadian farm publications — or Canadian farmers for that matter — don’t often heap well wishes on U.S. farm groups. While there are often shared interests there are also, all too often, bones of contention. From country-of-origin labelling (COOL) to dairy quotas, Canadian agriculture frequently finds itself under withering not-so-friendly fire from our southern neighbours.

Editor’s Take: A full plate for returning ag minister

By

Editor’s Take: True leadership on display in Morden

By
Over the past few decades, there’s been a decided decline in leadership throughout the political spectrum. Leadership once meant exactly that — leading. These days however, it’s come to mean watching public opinion polls and blowing with the wind, or triangulating amongst special-interest groups. In both cases, the goal appears to be power for the

Editor’s Take: A few bad apples

By
Years back, I sat in a first-year university economics class where the guest lecturer insisted that the concept of a ‘labour shortage’ didn’t really exist in a market economy. You had, he explained, a few different options, including two major ones. You could invest in technology that improved productivity. Or you could sweeten your offer

Editor’s Take: The court of public opinion

By
It could be a case of be careful what you wish for. In recent days, many in the Manitoba agriculture sector have been lauding the passage of two pieces of provincial legislation intended to protect farm operations. There’s the enhanced trespassing laws that remove the requirement to confront trespassers and limit liability if a trespasser
