Brilliant countryside terms and conditions here! 👏💯

To the farmer I followed home… 🚜

Last night, after a golf scramble and the end-of-year golf banquet, I quickly got the golf clubs returned, gathered up the rest of our things, loaded my girls into the car, and headed home.

It was getting late, everyone was tired, and I was watching the clock because bedtime was calling our names.

I didn’t get very far before I ended up behind you.

You took up about 90% of the road, so I decided there really wasn’t much for me to do except sit back, enjoy the ride, and keep an eye on the clock. 😂

But as I looked in my rearview mirror, I realized there were 8+ vehicles behind you—and not one of us tried to pass.

We all understood.

You were working.
You were getting home.
And we were simply along for the ride.

So, from one stranger to another, I hope you know that somewhere behind you was a whole line of people who were patient, gave you space, and appreciated what you were doing.

I hope your yield is at an all-time high. 🌾
I hope your lunchbox is always filled with unlimited snacks.
I hope your coffee is stronger than my 7-year-old’s willpower. ☕😂
And I hope you make it home safely every night.

Thanks for reminding me that sometimes getting where we’re going means slowing down and letting someone else get where they need to go first.

Stay safe, Farmer. 🚜🌾

BREAKING: Doug Ford just unveiled a massive sign reading “Lake Ontario Now and Always” on the shoreline of Lake Ontario.

Trump would hate it if this went viral.

Corn yield gains in the U.S. are no longer tied to higher plant densities. 🌽

Recent genetic progress is driven by increased yield per plant—not improved crowding tolerance—highlighting a clear decoupling between yield and plant density.

RETWEET if you stand with Hess against Trump!

🚨 The TRUTH about farm bailouts is OUT—and it’s worse than you think. 🚨

Over the last 8 years, the U.S. government has sent $130 BILLION in emergency aid to farmers.

Sounds good, right?

WRONG. The money isn’t going to farmers—it’s going straight to BIG CORPORATIONS. 💸

Here’s how it works:

Farmers like Adam and Scott get a "bailout."

But that money immediately goes to the corporations they owe for seeds, fertilizer, machinery—anything they need to farm.

Meanwhile, the cost of those inputs has TRIPLED since the 90s. 😡

Farmers are paying WAY MORE for the same things. But the prices they get for their crops? Barely enough to cover it. They’re breaking even at best. 💔

But the mega-corporations? They’re raking in huge profits. 💰

Monsanto and Bayer merged in 2015—and no one stopped them.

Now, a handful of companies control almost everything—seeds, fertilizer, machinery.

Let’s break it down:

Farmers might gross $500/acre.

But they’re paying $490 for inputs.

That’s how these companies inflate prices and squeeze farmers dry. 😤

And when farmers can’t make ends meet? These same corporations go to YOU—the taxpayer—for a bailout. 🤯

Instead of lowering prices, they’re laundering your tax dollars to keep their profits sky-high. 💸

The ag industry is a multi-billion dollar scam.

The government is just letting it happen. 😡

Farmers deserve better. It’s time to fight back and take control of our food system.

We the People must defend farmers, demand real reform, and break up these monopolies before they destroy the heart of American agriculture. ✊

Farmers need our support. Let's make our voices heard. 📢

Loblaw turns to Asia for canned corn — bypassing Nortera (owned by Québec’s Fonds de solidarité FTQ & Caisse de dépôt).

Local farmers and processors lose, while imports from Thailand win shelf space.

Western bean cutworm update – Winchester Research Station: Moth trap counts are climbing, but the rate of increase is slowing — suggesting we’re at or near peak flight, and just a few days from peak egg laying. Egg mass finds remain low, though varies by field.
