🇨🇦Farm hard. Play hard.🇨🇦 Grain Farmer, Enjoys a Cold One, World Traveller

[Tyne Morgan @Tyne_Ag]

A new study by @NationalCorn found:

-U.S. corn seed prices averaged 68% higher than Brazil’s
-Insecticide prices averaged 87% higher
-Some fungicides cost more than double what Brazilian farmers paid
-Many herbicide comparisons also approached double Brazilian price levels

For NCGA President Jed Bower, an Ohio farmer, the findings confirm concerns many growers have held for years: ��It sure doesn’t look like we’re the low-cost producer anymore,” Bower says. “The study shows the American farmer is really paying for all the innovation and research for the rest of the world to take advantage of.”

You’re going to be seeing scary posts about pesticides detected at XX ppb in food.

Let’s slow this down.
Detection is not danger.

ppb tells you what can be measured, not what can harm you.

ppb = parts per billion.
That’s like:
• 1 second in 32 years
• 1 drop of water in an Olympic pool
Modern labs can detect almost anything at this level.

Now comes the trick.
People point to animal studies and say:
“0.1 ppb caused damage.”

That’s misleading.
Why?

Because toxicology is not:
❌ Substance detected → harm
It’s:
✅ Dose × exposure × duration → risk

Leave out any part, and the conclusion collapses.

Those animal studies used:
• unrealistically high doses.
• forced exposure.
• conditions that do not reflect human diets.

That’s why regulators don’t rely on single studies.

Instead, regulators review thousands of studies.
Bodies like EFSA and EPA set limits with huge safety margins built in.

For glyphosate, allowed daily intakes are set hundreds of times below the lowest level where effects were ever seen.

And food residues are typically orders of magnitude below that.

So when someone says:
“Panera had 400 ppb!”

They’re skipping the only question that matters:
How much would a person actually ingest?

Answer:
You’d need to eat absurd, physically impossible amounts of food every day to approach doses used in harm studies.

Reality check:
Your body clears glyphosate quickly.
It does not bioaccumulate.

This is the core confusion:

Analytical sensitivity ≠ biological relevance
If we applied this logic consistently:
• coffee.
• celery.
• mushrooms.
• breast milk.
…would all be labeled “chemical poison.”

Calling trace residues “population control” isn’t whistleblowing.

It’s what happens when:
• correlation replaces causation
• numbers replace context
• fear replaces toxicology

Bottom line:

Science asks:
At what dose? Compared to what? With what evidence?

Fear asks:
Can I make this number sound scary?

Only one of those keeps people informed.

The canola industry contributes about $43.7 billion annually to Canada's GDP, encompassing direct production, processing, exports, and multiplier effects across supply chains and jobs. Canada's EV sector, however, remains embryonic with minimal current GDP impact—likely under $1 billion—despite broader automotive manufacturing adding ~$19 billion overall. Canola's established scale dwarfs the nascent EV footprint today, though EV projections aim for substantial growth by 2035 amid policy pushes.

The 🇨🇦 government attack on Canadian farmers for “emissions” is over.
Canada has the lowest emission crops in the world, so much so that you can ship the same crop grown in Canada 17 times to Europe and still, STILL, have a lower carbon footprint than crops grown locally in Europe.

The UBC studied full life-cycle greenhouse gas & found decades of no/low tillage create a carbon sink. They looked at field level nitrous oxide emissions and carbon storage and it is the best in the world. Saying Canada is actually a global model of good farming practices.

This should have countries banging down the door for Canadian grain exports, China especially.
It really is too bad the Gov’t hates farmers.

This is no longer just a political scandal—this is a national disgrace. Joe Tay, the Conservative candidate targeted by Paul Chiang’s shocking comments, has now broken his silence—and it’s nothing short of damning.

In his official statement, Tay pulls no punches. He calls Chiang’s words what they are: “threatening public comments... intended to intimidate me.” Not debate. Not disagreement. Intimidation. And Tay makes it crystal clear: “no apology is sufficient.” Why? Because this isn’t some offhand gaffe—this is the exact playbook of the Chinese Communist Party, imported straight into Canadian politics.

Let that sink in. A Canadian MP, standing on Canadian soil, echoed a bounty issued by a hostile foreign regime. And the man targeted—Joe Tay—says it plainly: “Suggesting that people collect a bounty from the Chinese Communist Party to deliver a political opponent to the Chinese Consulate is disgusting and must never be condoned.”

Disgusting—and yet, here we are. Paul Chiang is still in the Liberal fold. Mark Carney, the man who wants to run the country, says nothing. Meanwhile, Tay is left fearing for his safety—already in touch with the RCMP before the public even knew what Chiang had said.

This is the state of Canadian politics under the Liberal machine: where the only people paying a price are the ones speaking out. Where the candidate who exposes foreign interference is the one who needs police protection. And the one who parrots CCP propaganda? He gets to keep his seat.

Even Michael Chong—a guy who knows firsthand what CCP intimidation looks like—is stepping in and asking the obvious question: Why is Paul Chiang still a Liberal candidate?

Chong just posted on X (formerly Twitter) that at least three Canadians have already been coerced into returning to the People’s Republic of China against their will. Against their will. Think about that. Beijing is actively running transnational repression ops on Canadian soil—and now, one of Carney’s own candidates is joking about turning a political opponent over to the CCP for a cash reward. And we’re supposed to believe the Liberals take foreign interference seriously?

Chong’s post includes actual evidence—parliamentary testimony, U.S. indictments, and RCMP-relevant keywords like “United Front,” “overseas station,” and “minutes or less.” In other words, this isn’t conspiracy talk. This is real. It’s happening. And it’s been happening under the Liberals' watch.

And still, Paul Chiang stays in the race. No suspension. No investigation. Nothing from Carney, the security-cleared savior of the Liberal establishment.

And here’s where the hypocrisy hits terminal velocity.

Remember, Mark Carney has a security clearance. That’s been his whole pitch. That somehow he is more qualified to lead Canada because he has access to classified intelligence. Because he is in the know. He’s the grown-up in the room. The steady technocrat with one foot in the Privy Council and the other in Davos.

Well, here’s a question: What good is a security clearance if your own MPs are acting like a propaganda arm for Beijing?

Because while Mark “Bank of China” Carney sits on his classified briefings, his Liberal MP Paul Chiang is out there, on camera, floating the idea that a Conservative candidate should be delivered to a Chinese consulate to “claim the bounty” placed on his head by the Chinese Communist Party.

Let’s repeat that: A Canadian MP is echoing a CCP-issued bounty, and Carney—the man with all the intelligence, all the briefings, all the supposed national security credentials—says nothing. Not a peep. Not even a token tweet.

So what exactly is that security clearance buying us, Mark? If you’re such an expert on foreign threats, why can’t you recognize one when it’s sitting in your own caucus?

It’s a joke. The entire premise of Carney’s leadership bid is unraveling in real time. He promised Canadians he could stand up to foreign interference—meanwhile, his own candidate in Markham–Unionville is out there sounding like a CCP press secretary. And instead of showing leadership, Carney hides behind talking points, closed-door fundraisers, and his carefully curated media handlers.

Joe Tay is right. This isn’t just about intimidation—it’s about sending a “chilling signal to the entire community.” And the message from Carney is loud and clear: if you’re a threat to the Liberal regime, they’re not just coming for your policies. They’re coming for you.

Security clearance? Please. It’s not leadership if you only speak up when it’s politically convenient. And if Carney won’t condemn this, then he’s not qualified to lead a PTA meeting, let alone a country.

@farmwithuruski @LowBoomLowDrift Back when we were herbiciding, fungiciding, and desiccating in the same year was more worried about the crop getting into the bin than leaving it in the field with sprayer tracks, especially going around the potholes. New tracks sometimes every time 🤮

Humans have been improving crops for 1000’s of years.

Corn is just one of the foods that is unrecognizable from its wild ancestors, thanks to these genetic improvements.

Growing more food per acre is
leaving more land for nature.
