Peace Country Canola

I was talking to a Peace Country farmer yesterday about how things have changed in the farming business in the last few years. Peace Country Canola, sounds benign doesn't it?  Think again. Monsanto sells the seeds, genetically modified. Must re-buy every year. You'd think that would be enough for them. But they have to sew up the market better than that, they buy the crop too, so if you get your seeds elsewhere they won't buy the crop from you. The seeds are also genetically modified to accept Roundup and Roundup is cheap so if you want a good crop then you are forced into using it or you can't make any money. If you want to farm in canola you are hooked to Monsanto if you like it or not.

Daily Money

Cyber Monday, Green Gift Monday, Small Business Saturday, Black Friday, alas I know not what to think, numbers, rescues packages, buy... spend... it's non stop. Is it worse this year? Or is it me? Aging? It isn't even December yet. Spend more, waste more, heat the earth up more, poor polar bears rummaging around Churchill waiting for the ice losing 15 pounds a year. Makes me sick. I had to spew, I'm just as bad though as I type on my Mac, although it is a year old with my iPhone also a year old. I'll keep them till they wear out. My plan is for developing local ecomomies with local food products as soon as I finish this MBA.

I wonder what Malcolm Gladwell and Kim W Chan think of Steven D. Levitt's views on the falling crime rate in New York City and the rest of North America for that matter
