Projection
Anyway back to the farmers. They will make changes likely by using technology or whatever, it seems like they have to at some point. Things will not be the same in 10 years it seems.

I'm an organic, permaculture hyper localisation guy. Industrial scale farming with chemicals is not sustainable no matter how green the marketing is. The industry needs more fracturing. This is doing the opposite. Once again I will reference them focusing on "Nitrogen emissions" based on computer models while legislating the spraying of Roundup in our managed forests.... The results of which can can see with our own eyes...
“Deciduous cover was selected across all seasons and study areas.” 40% of all mortalities in most heavily sprayed place in BC (Prince George South) were from apparent starvation. 2017 Moose Research Progress Report: February 2012–April 2017
Field estimates showed that spraying with the herbicide glyphosate reduced forage availability by 60 and 96 % in summer and winter, respectively, 4 years after treatment. It also reduced moose use and habitat selection of young spruce stands compared with unsprayed stands. Together these lines of evidence suggest that forest management led to an increase in moose carrying capacity during the 1970s and a subsequent decline thereafter.

Also note they are not talking about restricting the spraying of Roundup on the crops either.

If "they" were talking like this I would be an advocate. https://link.springe...165-020-00281-8

I think the roundup note has been mentioned about 1,000 times... It's noted.

So has everything else. So why bother?

Well I think Roundup comments lead the charge right now, especially in a non-sequitur way

We are talking about restrictions of emissions that affect the environment....
e·mis·sion
noun
plural noun: emissions
the production and discharge of something, especially gas or radiation.
"the effects of lead emission on health"
an ejaculation of semen.
"nocturnal emissions"

What if the Roundup is sprayed at night?

"Diversifying the forest ... is a really effective way to create resilience in our landscape and resistance to these major fires we've been witnessing."
Meanwhile, much of the Canadian forestry industry is doing the opposite, spraying thousands of hectares of public forest with glyphosate each year to promote profitable coniferous growth, and eliminate hardwood species like aspen and birch. The primary ingredient in the Monsanto-made herbicide Roundup, glyphosate has been under scrutiny in both agriculture and forestry for years. It remains widely used, because while softwood species like pine and spruce can tolerate a certain dosage of the chemical, glyphosate can be effective in eliminating the growth of hardwood trees for decades. It's an efficient way for the forestry industry to streamline cut blocks so they contain the most profitable kinds of trees.
But aspen and birch burn more slowly than the glyphosate-resistant coniferous trees, and some experts say removing them is like quite literally stoking the fires that have plagued the province.
This is also incomplete as it diverts blame from the government. The forestry legislation dictates the broad-leaf percentage to be extremely low. The corporations use it because the alternative would be mechanical. If no legislation existed it might lead to the Aspen being a first to grow crop and a more holistic approach to logging that could be compatible with nature, recreation,industry diversity like not only timber but mushrooms, tourism, other plant based industries etc.
Instead we get this religion driven by computer models....

Well we were talking about a very specific one.. There are many, you just picked one that you have brought up a few other times. We get it.

My grass is already turning brown. I think its been 3 weeks since we've had any significant rain already, no?
