I’m a scientist. But even among scientists, few can claim what Norman Borlaug did: He’s credited with saving a billion people from starvation. How? By changing the way we grow food forever. Here’s the story of the man behind the Green Revolution 🧵: 1/

Americans: I use miles and pounds Europeans: I use kilometres and kilograms Canadians: [snorting a line of assorted measuring systems] I'm 5'8, I weigh 150lbs, horses weigh 1000kgs, my house is an hour away and I drive 80 km/h to get there, I need a cup of flour and 1L of milk

The Lord of the Rings does not take place on an imaginary planet — it's Earth. Middle-earth is our forgotten past, before recorded history, when Eden (Valinor) was a real place. The truth of Tolkien's world will blow your mind... 🧵

The consumer carbon tax is not working. It’s become too divisive — at a time when Canada needs to be united. As my government’s first order of business, I have cancelled it.

Colorado is opening our arms to celebrate the historic, economic and cultural bilateral friendship with Canada. We stand against tariffs and for even stronger ties built on trust and respect between our two great nations.

Our relationship with Canada brings vast benefits to Coloradans—from good-paying jobs to robust trade partnerships, tourists, and even prominent fictional characters in Colorado’s famous show, South Park. Ike Broflovski, Kyle Broflovski's adopted brother, is from Canada. Don’t

With faba bean breeding programs now focused on low vicine/convicine (LVC) varieties, growers are encouraged to make the switch. Certified seed availability will continue to grow over the next few years. Learn more about LVC faba beans: ow.ly/Nx1W50V8I1j

Can someone in the Canadian Ag industry explain to me why I should enroll in AgriStability? Have the recent changes helped? Let’s have a good discussion about the positives and negatives of this program and why only 60% of Canadian farmers participate? #CanadianAg #AgTwitter

John Kowalchuk🧢 It’s kind of a pain, and all I have heard was guys not happy with it in years back. Once you dig into it it does make lots of sense, after having real high commodity prices the last few years indexes should be pretty high which in turn adds good protection.

John Kowalchuk🧢 We have considered leaving it for a number of years, but have stayed in so far. The one scenario that AFSC crop insurance wouldn’t cover well would be a below average crop (right at coverage levels) coupled with a sharp drop in commodity prices. AgriStability might help there?

How Carney Supports Farming So Far. To help canola farmers deal with China's 100% tariffs, the government made a flashy announcement just before the election, doubling the maximum AgriStability payout from $3 million to $6 million per farm. But in reality, the extra support
