I had the good fortune of being at a soil conservation conference last week in Moncton. There were several producer panels talking about the BMPs they've established to help reduce the off-farm impacts, particularly of potato production. They were talking about putting in grass buffer strips, repairing the riparian areas, and that sort of thing.
I think in most instances the farmers were quite proud of the improvements they had made on their farms, and there wasn't a lot of talk about losing productivity. It was more about making improvements on their farms to maintain their social licence, which I think Mark talked about a little bit as well.
