Don Cherry was RIGHT
He ALWAYS knew what the Americans really want from us.
This is from 1990.

Listen to Canadian legend Don Cherry, who on his final Hockey Night in Canada Coach's Corner broadcast, Nov. 9, 2019, asked all Canadians to wear a poppy and honour our veterans.

Think about this.
Instead of the government of Canada giving $30 billion to Ukraine they could have built a brand new state of the art refinery that processes 1 million barrels of heavy oil.
Your cost of fuel would be cut in half.
But hey, laundering money is cool too I guess.

If Canada had built Energy East and Keystone XL we would have been bringing in $277 million per day or about $99 billion annually in additional revenue at current oil prices.
How do we blame Trump for this staggering failure?

Meaningful new #wheat development: Russia has damaged a bridge in the Odesa region that Ukrainian Railways says will significantly restrict grain movements toward Ukraine’s Danube export ports. Why this Matters:
Danube corridor is precisely the fallback route Ukraine has been relying on while Black Sea port/shipping capacity disrupted. $WEAT

So.. I spent all day figuring out how these rising fuel costs are impacting farmers during harvest. What I found is very alarming. These rising fuel costs need to end. This is just for ONE combine. Not even trucks, grain carts, or grain drying.
Few notes:
1. I took a Class 7-8 combine and used 70L/hr as an average baseline.
2. For 2025, I used $1.10/L for bulk farm fuel. For 2026, I am using an estimate of the increase due to the cost at the pump getting up to $2.10/L today.
3. I used 8 hours of harvest a day (would be nice!) and a 30-day harvest.
4. This is an extremely variable calculation due to conditions in the field and yields.
5. Imagine if I would've ran the numbers using an X9's fuel consumption....

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

So... it seems that "end of the month profit taking" in #wheat is over, and funds bought the close strongly.
Limit up tomorrow? 😉

He wasn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s no question that Don Cherry belongs in the #Hockey Hall of Fame. And, the #Canadian Sports Hall. For a number of years, Cherry was the most-recognizable person from coast to coast in our nation. If the Hockey Hall truly covets and rewards fame, there’s no reason to exclude him. #NHLBruins #HHOF #Boston #Leafs #Grapes

I will be working at Crop Diagnostic School in Swift Current July 29 and 30. If anyone has chickpea with symptoms of the chickpea emerging health issue, I'd love to know about it

Looking for a lease operator to join our small trucking company based from Wymark, Sk starting in the Aug-Sept time frame. Can supply trailers if needed. We run triaxles, but will consider super b's. All local work (<70 miles). DM for more details.

Australia’s farm sector is sending a warning the world can’t ignore.
Farmers are now shifting away from wheat and canola into barley — not because of demand, but because fertilizer and diesel costs are exploding.
The numbers are brutal:
Urea: +60%
Diesel: +88%
Wheat planting could fall 10–12%
This is how a supply shock spreads through the global food system.
When one of the world’s top wheat exporters starts planting less nitrogen-intensive crops, it’s not just an Australian story.
It’s a signal that global grain output is about to tighten.
The market is still obsessed with oil.
But the bigger second-order move is happening in fertilizer → crop choice → yield risk → food inflation.
This is exactly how the next agricultural commodity rally begins. 🌾📈🔥

🚨BREAKING:
This is incredible news for producers across the Prairies.
After strong advocacy from industry, along with Alberta and Saskatchewan working collaboratively to stress the immediate need for emergency use of strychnine, I’m glad to see the PMRA has reversed its decision on our submission.
This is a huge win for our agriculture industry, ensuring our producers have the tools they need to better manage their operations and continue providing high quality products.

Steve Kaufman of Idaho shares his long-standing Gleaner story. His dad bought this MH2 new in ‘81 and it’s still cutting wheat.
“45 years of service to our family,” he said.
…now, that’s dependability!

🇨🇦 Every Canadian should read this twice:
🇨🇦 Canada ranks —
🥇 1st in uranium
🥇 1st in potash
🥈 2nd in nickel
🥉 3rd in oil
🏅 5th in gold
💧 1st in freshwater
Countries start wars for LESS than this.
And somehow we are told we’re too poor to cut taxes, too broke to build homes, too weak to compete, too small to matter.
It took historic levels of incompetence and ideological sabotage to bury a country this blessed.
Imagine where Canada would be if we were actually allowed to win.

I can’t be the only one that wishes @CNHIndustrial would offer this tractor. Only thing I’d change is strip the Case IH badge and make the Steiger badge bigger. I grew up on Steiger green.

Glyphosate isn’t controversial because it’s understudied.
It’s controversial because the evidence is ignored.
Fact 1. This chemical is exhaustively studied:
•40+ years of data.
•Thousands of studies.
•Reviewed repeatedly across continents.
Fact 2. Global regulators agree:
Every major regulatory authority that assesses real-world exposure reaches the same conclusion:
•US EPA
•EFSA
•ECHA
•Health Canada
👉 Not carcinogenic at human exposure levels.
👉 Not genotoxic.
👉 No unacceptable health risk when used as directed.
This is not one agency.
This is not a global conspiracy.
Fact 3: The largest human study says no.
•54,000+ pesticide applicators.
•Followed since 1993.
•No link to overall cancer.
•No consistent link to non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
If glyphosate caused cancer, this study should have found it.
It didn’t.
Fact 4: Food residues are not the issue.
•Residues are far below safety limits.
•Dietary exposure does not pose a cancer risk.
•Drinking water exposure is not a health hazard.
“Toxic” without dose is not toxicology.
Fact 5: Worker exposure is also low.
•Measured exposures are far below NOAELs.
•Regulators repeatedly conclude: not of concern.
So where does the scare come from?
One outlier → IARC
IARC did a hazard classification, not a risk assessment.
They put glyphosate in the same category as:
•Red meat.
•Hot beverages.
•Being a barber.
IARC explicitly ignores exposure.
Regulators do not.
This is the entire conflict:
Hazard-only classification
vs
Risk-based regulation.
Confuse the two - and fear wins.
Bottom line:
No pesticide regulator on Earth currently considers glyphosate a cancer risk at real-world exposure levels.
The science is boring.
It’s to put a stop to the misinformation.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump reveals he will SLASH environmental rules on farm machinery companies like JOHN DEERE to help farmers and lower prices
"In many cases you need a 185 IQ to turn on a lawn mower now!" 🤣
"They don't do a DAMN THING except make it complicated and impractical!"
"They're gonna have to reduce their prices. Farming equipment has gotten too expensive!"
"It's got so much equipment on it for the environmental and it DOESN'T DO ANYTHING, and it's not as good as the old days!"
