There are a few farmers that are trying no-till but not many. There is interest in it though as they have heard rumours of what we are doing north of the 49 th parallel. They also fear the government payments will be ending soon and they need to find an economical farming system. This trip let me see where we were 10 to 15 years ago. A crop selection in the province of wheat, barley, durum, oats, canary seed, peas, lentils, chickpeas, mustard, canola, flax, plus many smaller acres of specialty crops.
Necessity brings on innovation and diversity.
Economics has been driving the system and I don't think it will stop now. We will continue to find and develop new and innovative technologies and crops that will work in our cropping system. You have done a good job, give yourself a pat on the back.
