@SpudSmartMag SpudsmartMag headlines and articles consistently take the most negative and spectacular side on this topic. This is a blatant promotional article designed for fearmongering and the continuation of an arbitrary trade rule. Shame on you!

"He's not a REAL farmer." Someone said this to me when I mentioned I'm working with a guy who just rented his first 25 acres. That comment fired me up. I got defensive of him. There's no all-or-nothing application process in ag to "qualify" as a farmer/rancher. Frankly, if you have a 1/4 acre vegetable patch and one pig and call yourself a farmer, who am I to judge? Our goal ought to be to encourage more people with the grit & gumption to chase their ag dreams... Not call them fake farmers & diminish their standing in the ag community. -Some folks are able to earn 100% of their living from the farm/ranch. I applaud them. -Some have off-farm jobs to subsidize their operation. I'm happy for them. -Some just enjoy the country life on a hobby farm and don't expect to make any money. I respect them. I will gladly help any one of those people, if I can, because they're all part of the ag community. So the gist is, we all started somewhere & each story is unique. And if you're small-time and call yourself a farmer, good for you... I've got your back. And I know hundreds of others do too.

@PleasantPork Speaking from firsthand experience on this issue, the sad reality is the best management plane which facilitates eradication of spores is growing non susceptible varieties in those infected fields. Otherwise the spores exist 50-75 years.

...keeping potatoe wart positive fields in production is problematic...positive fields should b out of potato production permanently so as to not create potential for more problems ...just has to b that way...

Friends, I couldn’t Shuffle today. My skinny pins are rejecting walking & I have to respect them. I made you a special video instead. A friend brought me pieces of the forest. Moss, lichen, leaves, cypress. Shhh…don’t tell the nurses. I’m not sure if this is contraband 😂

Here's my personal Shuffle page where you can make a donation. advanceconcordia.ca/ui/shuffle32/p… I pledge to walk the length of the palliative care ward every day for as long as I can. What a goal! I can do it with your help. No $ amount is too small. All RT's appreciated!

Last pass of planting 2021, we aren’t the prettiest or the smartest, after 3 tractors, 2 windshields, 2 hydraulic motors, numerous moments of contemplating life choices….” That all she wrote folks!”

There are many mornings as a farmer when stepping outside and starting your day fills you with excitement and possibilities... loading potatoes at 5:30am in 50km/hr winds with -28 windchill unfortunately challenges that optimism. #justanotherdayinparadise
