‘It’s shocking’: Sask. farmers react to federal government’s purposed cutdown on use of fertilizer
“We need to continue to drive innovation. We are going to be their work to work with you. This is not an us versus you , we have a policy in place, this is where we are trying to go in the future,” said Blais. “The work done to this point by farmers is great, but we can do more.”Many local farmers say this is not the time to reduce fertilizer use as Canada is already a world leader in low-emission farming techniques.“If you take those nutrients away, we will grow less.
“We have the highest quality crop techniques in the world in Canada. We need to continue that growth, not deplete our crop yield.” “There are many places around the world that eat other food stuffs, I don’t think in North America we are going to be switching to that mindset, ever.”“All livestock need feed in order to sustain and survive, cows, pigs, etc.”A farmer thinks there needs to be more communication between the government and farmers.
“If there is less crop in the fields, there will be less food on the shelves it’s just simple math,” said Vandervalk.
