@blake_vince @johnkempf Mostly economics. Gotta get back to those cash crops. But those are numbers that need crunching now that we’ve been doing this a couple years. Still haven’t sold any beef from these guys yet so will be able to pencil better after evaluating crop yields and beef profit.

@barnyardigans @johnkempf The Argentine system always stands out. Prior to Glyphosate Resistant crops. 7 years grazing then a return back to their annual crop rotation. A 2 year grazing cycle barely allows perennials to gain a foothold. Termination without herbicides/tillage would be a struggle. Why 2yrs?

What are your primary agronomy headaches? What problems would you love to have solved? Ask me anything, will answer to the best of my ability.

Happy to represent the “it’s not the cow, it’s the how community” on CBC. :) cbc.ca/news/canada/pr…

@blake_vince @johnkempf Two years

@barnyardigans @johnkempf How long do you intend to graze before returning to crop rotation?

@ian_petrie Thanks Ian! Here’s hoping I can bring back some relevant and helpful info for producers here!

Whenever you read that livestock production is bad, come back to this story. It's the health of soils that matters in the end. So glad Sally has the chance to learn more and share it with others. bit.ly/49BDjZC

Now, Denny is now slashing Summerside’s PCU beds from 8 to 4. Anyone in Borden-Kinkora who votes Conservative in the upcoming D19 by-election is voting to further gut Prince County Hospital. Instead, they should vote for @MattMacPEI. #peipoli cbc.ca/news/canada/pr…

Been a long time since I’ve frequented these Twitter halls. #Nuffield has me back in, making connections. If grazing in a cropping rotation is your jam, reach out, would love to chat! #nuffieldcanada

@redclayroad Oh Thelma, we've been the beneficiary of many of those delicious cookies and the kids still talk about how good they are! Tell her Happy Birthday from the Bernard clan!

to be clear, this is honest curiosity. I understand off-label use, but the videos on the site are really earnest. But bullshit, right?

Can someone tell me 100% honestly, straight face, that glyphosate is being used a weed control and not a desiccant? For real tho? I don't see weeds in conventional grain fields this time of year. Not a volume that would affect harvest at least. Right?

@annackeenan I wrote some thoughts on it here: barnyardorganics.blogspot.com

@chef_ilona @CharlottetownPE But that braised beef cheek tho.....🤩🤩

I just found my first draft of my Brickhouse menu!!! Who remembers that Gathered Green Salad? Sweet n Salty Chocolate Cake? #EatIt @CharlottetownPE #charlottetown #pei

@isaaams John Quimby of Dunn Creek Farm sounds like he fits the bill nicely and does voiceover. He's in Murray Harbour area.

@AnnieBiotix No way. Ignorant arseholes. I am stunned.

@LundLynne @stevenmyersPC Since they don't require permits, how will this halt work? Honour system? Presumably those begun will be completed?

Today, Min @stevenmyersPC introduced an executive order to halt the construction of new holding ponds. So, if the last Min had wanted to do this, she could have. I'm glad to see this finally in place. It never should have taken this long. #peipoli

Last year, I brought a motion urging gov to stop the construction on holding ponds that were bypassing the ban on high capacity wells. saltwire.com/prince-edward-…

@ElwiraRosiak @PleasantPork and yes, clearly the fine isn't high enough. One wasn't enough of a deterrent.

@ElwiraRosiak @PleasantPork I assume (which could be wrong obvs) that the request was made by the East Prince Environmental Group or whatever they're called. They represent a collection of potato farmers in the region, so perhaps to anyone in that group?

@PleasantPork @ElwiraRosiak @CBCNews cbc.ca/news/canada/pr… They're listed in this one.

@ElwiraRosiak @CBCNews ...ask the premier...they must have had degrees in hydrology to convince him it was ok to circumvent the provincial water experts...

This thread!!!!!!!

@hannahbethbell @keithburgoyne @rbngrhm You know I'm here to make this happen!! ;) barnyardorganics.com/hens4rent

@keithburgoyne @rbngrhm The struggle is real. I know exactly where they’d go and how to keep them safe from Charlottetown foxes 🦊
