🇨🇦🇪🇺 The objective is for Canada to adopt standards and trade rules set by the EU, and where disputes are settled by a EU-appointed court. It is a surrender of Canadian sovereignty.

Observation of the day.
Bank of Canada hikes into a weak economy.
The next day, employment data comes out.
Close to 50K in job losses and the previously reported number revised from 26k to -16K
Canadian MSM ignoring this. No one is reporting it. As well as the BOC acolytes on Bay St.

So raising interest rates to calm an economy down referring to interest rates works in a normal economy. But this is far from a normal economy. With the rapid rise in energy prices it put inflation on a course you cannot reverse with interest rates without killing the economy.

First year in a long time I can remember looking for corn at harvest time. Usually it's looking for places to take corn....
The USDA should probably bump that Michigan yield up
also, if you're in Michigan and you have some fall corn to move, I know a guy (or several) looking

Carbon capture is a joke
Canada is covered in green space trees and lakes
Farmers capture more C02 than any other method

With the recent USDA foibles, it’s not about looking for math errors in irrigated corn acres or ear length calcs:
-It’s repeated negative reports just as things were looking up
-Reports varying so widely from top analysts
-Negative wildcards in inventories, acres, carryover

The computer picked up October 7 in Israel. Defense stocks started moving a week in advance. Somebody knew.
The SEC used our work after 9/11 to look for who bought airline puts a few days beforehand. Somebody always knows.

🚨 I AM ACTUALLY IN SHOCK RIGHT NOW!
For the FIRST TIME in my life, I strongly agree with Wab Kinew.
He just called on Mark Carney to ABOLISH THE INDIAN ACT.
His argument? Canada should no longer have a race-based form of identification.
EVERY CANADIAN DESERVES EQUAL DIGNITY AND RESPECT.
Never thought I’d say this, but Kinew has started a conversation Canada desperately needs to have.

Looking at a GSI 1608 Mixed flow grain dryer.
I know there is only 1 in Canada down at Carman so just wondering if any US farmers that follow me or someone know of one just wondering about them.
Very happy with my GSI dryer and Glenmore as a dealer.
Thanks if anyone can help

I don't want flying cars.
I want rivers and ocean I can swim in with friends.
I want food that isn't full of toxic chemicals and clean soil to grow it in.
I want raw nature and wilderness and places on the earth I can get lost without seeing another human.
I want air that isn't "geoengineered" and polluted.
Science is cool. Technological advancement is cool, but I don't think this makes us happier as humans.
Real human connection and clean, natural food lead to happiness. This I know. Flying cars? I'm not sure.
Maybe I am a troglodyte...

Didn’t have on my 2026 bingo card that I would be telling my crew to run any equipment near empty on fuel if it looks like we are done with it for the year so we can use that fuel elsewhere to finish harvest.
Me mathing my stored fuel for the finish line……

🌽 Corn's real price peaked over a century ago
The 2025/26 marketing year is $4.16/bushel, but in 2025 dollars the all-time high was $34.91 (1917), with a second peak at $31 (1947). Even 2012's $6.89 was just ~$9.66 today.

Hey jus let the USDA do the estimate. They will find another 120MT of corn
EU CORN HARVEST CRASHES TO A 20-YEAR LOW! 🌽
Europe’s corn market faces a major supply shock in 2026.
🇪🇺 EU corn production: 50.2 million tonnes
📉 Down 12% from 57.1 MT in 2025
📉 18% below the 10-year average of 61.3 MT
🌾 Average yield: 8.6 t/ha vs 9.8 t/ha last year
📈 Consumption: 60.3 MT, up 2%
⚠️ Production deficit: 10.1 MILLION TONNES
The damage is severe across major producers:
🇫🇷 France: -30%
🇭🇺 Hungary: -43%
🇷🇴 Romania: -33%
🇪🇸 Spain: -27%
🇮🇹 Italy: -22%
🇩🇪 Germany: -19%
France and Hungary alone suffered a combined production shortfall of approximately 10.4 MT.
What went wrong?
🌡️ May–June temperatures ran 3–5°C above normal.
☀️ July–August rainfall was 60–80% below normal, hitting crops during critical grain filling.
The warning for global grain markets is clear: lower European corn production combined with rising consumption could increase import demand and tighten regional supplies.
Weather is no longer just a crop story. It is a price driver.
Will global corn exporters benefit from Europe’s massive production gap?
