I appreciate it. Thanks.
When farmers are trying to do a plan, a lot of times there isn't quite enough knowledge. There is knowledge out there, but it's not in our hands. It's learning. However, if we have to learn something, we have to take time away from our operations; we have to travel. Even for me now, I'm travelling an hour and a half, two hours, and sometimes four hours to go to a session and then back home.
That's more of a stick than a carrot. We need to learn. We can't leave our operations, because there are repercussions to doing that.
When we're also talking about encouragement, even in my own operation I'm evolving into no-till. Most of my farm is no-till now. About seven years ago I was doing an awful lot of plowing. I was plowing almost exclusively. In a weather event, we'd see 25 millimetres, and I'd see grey creeks, with the water running into the creek.
