Alberta Farm Fresh

@rossmckenzieAG Happy grass, happy cows

A 1” rain will roughly increase crop production by ~$30 to >$60/acre, depending on the crop. AB, SK & MB have ~66 M acres of annual crop land. Multiply that by $40/ac that’s a value of >$2.6 billion! People often don’t realize the economic importance of rain to prairie farmers.

Using only plant based foods are promoted to save the planet. Promoters don’t realize that half of prairie lands are Class 4 to 6 & not suitable for annual crop production but are idea for forage & livestock production. Grasslands are most health with modest livestock grazing.
