One of the reasons Canada has had high tariffs on dairy is that they wanted to encourage consumption of their own milk/dairy products.... and they pay their farmers VERY GOOD prices for their milk for that reason. Cannot fault them for that....
They also have done alot of trading in beef cattle, there are big finishing/feed lots and have taken alot of cattle from northern states to feed out... plus there are some areas that ship cattle over the border to finish here... trading off.... not saying it is equal or fair... but the dairy part I can see from their point in the past... Not exactly that different from US wanting to buy "American" now........

@murphysranch that was a really nice set up! I like the labels for attendees to have explanation. I see a full compliment of options for continual ready or emergencies.. 👍

@farmerjan you're right, Canada takes more interest in & care for their farmer set ups. Here, too much has been sold out. Big corps take over -- pros & cons for each side of thought.

Coffee is ready. Heavy thunderstorms south of me, moving eastward. Not supposed to reach me. I’ll be butchering chicken’s today and tomorrow. 22 more and I’ll be done.

The Pope passed away last night at 88 years of age.

My coffee pot brewing. Smells so good. 👍

Back to work yesterday. 5 long days this week. Rains coming a couple days 🤷. Grass will be happy.

It's time of year when I can cut the power bill. Cool 60 nights to leave a couple windows open. Ceiling fans on....it's 70 inside. Shut windows & close south shades while gone. Still be AC like cool when I get home. Nice. Cheap😁

Off to work. Enjoy your day :frow
