Ontario Agriculture

The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

Arrived back in Australia from Canada, to be met with the cost of estimated 9.90$ extra a week for carbon tax.  In reality try 20.50$ . The filth that believe the tax payer has a bottomless pocket. Have come up with a way of making money out of thin air.  To tax the public for the pollution that China produces, as 85 percent of our products, if not more, are produced there.  Farmers operating dairy farms, or any animal live stock that requires eletricity Hydro for you cunooks.  Have seen an extra 5,000$ per month to their bills as a farmer has found, after planting 4,000 trees in an attempt to of set and gain carbon credits.  And to add to the terror Smart meter is coming. 

 

But Canada you don't have to worry, yet.    Because all those farms that sign up to Carbon credit scheme by off setting companies like GE,GM, Ford or any other large polluting multi national will find they don't own the land, they farm on.  And must comply with the rules under that contract.  Eg not to disturb the soil as it affects the micro carbon collecting bugs or plants.

 

For those farms in the north of Alberta that now have suffed the same fatight as the 4 Queensland and New South Wales farms 6 months ago.  These animals that call themselfs politians are coming for your farm one at a time.  An of course in a nice way.

Steady Ontario Planting Progress

Ontario producers continued to make steady planting progress over the past week, although intermittent rainfall and uneven field conditions are still creating a patchwork of advancement across the province. Corn planting reached 86% complete as of Wednesday, according to Grain Farmers of Ontario’s weekly field observations report on Thursday. That is up from 74% a week earlier. Progress varies widely by region, with some areas wrapping up seeding while others remain delayed due to rainfall differences, heavier soils, and lingering wet field conditions. Corn development remains in its early stages, ranging from emergence to the two-leaf stage, but warm temperatures forecast this week are expected to support rapid crop growth. As planting windows narrow, some producers are beginning to shift intended corn acres into soybeans, the report said. Soybean planting also accelerated during the week, reaching 61% complete compared to 39% previously. However, heavy-clay regions remain behin

Canadian Farm Debt Rises in 2025, but at Slower Pace

Canadian farm debt continued to increase in 2025, although at a slower pace. A Statistics Canada farm income report released earlier this week pegged total nationwide farm debt at the end of last year at $179.1 billion. That is still a 7.5% increase from the previous year but well down from the 14.1% increase in debt that farmers took on in 2024 compared to 2023. Meanwhile, StatsCan data shows farm interest expenses reached $9.19 billion in 2025, up $90.99 million from $9.1 billion in 2024, representing a modest year-over-year increase of about 1%. The increase in 2025 interest expenses followed a much steeper jump in 2024, when annual farm interest expenses surged by roughly $2.02 billion to $9.1 billion — an increase of 28.6%. That sharp rise in 2024 interest expenses reflected the impact of higher interest rates across the economy, which significantly increased borrowing costs for producers at a time when many farms were already facing elevated expenses for inputs, machinery,

Chicago Close: Weaker into Weekend as Crude Falls

Losses in crude oil weighed on crop futures Friday, as easing geopolitical tensions and improving crop prospects combined to pressured into the weekend. Wheat led the declines as traders removed weather and geopolitical risk premium from the market. Benchmark Chicago wheat fell for the sixth time in seven sessions amid improving weather conditions across key production regions. Losses in crude oil, due to growing expectations the U.S. and Iran could move closer to a peace agreement, added to the downside. July Chicago dropped 13 ½ cents to $6.10 ½, and July Kansas City dropped 15 ½ cents to $6.49 ¾. July Hard Red Spring tumbled 36 ½ cents to $6.72 ¼, and July Minneapolis lost 13 ½ cents to $6.63 ¾. Corn futures also moved lower as traders reduced risk exposure ahead of the weekend. Export demand offered limited support, with USDA reporting 1.015 million tonnes of old-crop export sales for 2025-26, near the lower end of expectations and down sharply from the previous week. However,
