Yes. There's certainly validity to some biomass digesters on-farm, but you would be increasing your diesel use by taking your tractor on-farm, and your labour costs. You then need to dry that feedstock and store it in some manner, which creates a lot of fire hazards, particularly in the Prairies, where we have changing weather patterns. They would need to constantly be stoking that thing. Like heating your home through a wood fireplace in your family room, it's a labour-intensive thing. It's not scalable.
We're looking to remain competitive to keep food costs down for Canadians and grow our exports.
