“Organic” is The Latin Word For “Grown In Pig Shit”

Following neonicotinoid insecticide ban, UK canola growers ask government to cover crop losses

Since the ban on neonics, the UK area of oilseed rape has progressively fallen year on year.
 
What’s more, following an epidemic of cabbage stem flea beetle last year, many growers are choosing to move away from the crop [in 2020]— leaving some saying that the future of the crop is now at crisis point.
 
This was reflected in the recent AHDB Early Bird survey which revealed that the UK forecast area is down 32% on 2019, and could pose a real threat to production, explains Chloe Lockhart, combinable crops advisor at the NFU.

    1. Is this the precautionary principle again? It has killed more people than anything else in the world. Since DDT was banned millions of people have died from malaria. There are many examples of the disasters caused by the precautionary principle. Just wait until the current one is finished.

      1. This is not a flaw, it is a feature. The Left are always banging on about “there are too many people in this world – it is not good for Mother Earth”. The Chinese Flu/COVID-19 should be embraced by the Left, as it is taking out many people, especially all the “useless eaters” who are over 60.

        Back in the 1970’s, when I was in my 20’s, I wholeheartedly embraced the proposal of Zero Population Growth. My parents had 4 children and there are only 4 grandchildren now. When I read in the 1990’s that Saint David Suzuki had 5 children by 3 different wives, I was totally disillusioned and now believe nothing from our betters in government and the media.

  1. How tragic! Less canola. Yawn.
    Who really uses canola oil? Fast food chains that reuse the same oil for fries like 1000 times, and it is also sold to the 3d world.
    Control your greed!

    1. I use. I use an sich, I use it mixed with butter. They say it is pretty healthy compared to many other oils, and it has a mild taste so it is tolerable. Environmentalists who are often vegan, use it a lot. Now it is not surprise these same vegan people make farming pretty much impossible. They have a lot to say to things they should not have a say.

      1. Never use it.
        In order of use in this household:
        Olive Oil – wife is EYETalian and can cook..lemme tell ya..!!
        Avocado Oil – salads and such – some dishes
        Coconut Oil – for frying pan (eggs sausages etc)
        Use some fish oil and few other ones like that – but very infrequently.

        We have an Air Fryer so no real need to “deep fry”
        BUTTER n BUTTER only – this household has never seen nor used C17 H3 4O2 (aka margarine)

        Bon Apetite..!!

    2. Because people not only should like what you like, they must be forced to do so.

      Control your socialist assholery.

    3. Canola is not the only crop neonicotinoids are used on. Obviously there is no substitute that has been certified or the UK farmers would be using it. So the decision to decertify neonicotinoid will lower farm production. That is a great concern.

    4. Fast food chains use canola oil now as it is stable at higher cooking temps. They used to use beef tallow for french fries but removed it because of pressure from religious groups.
      Anyone remember how tasty McDonald fries were??
      Canola is 40% oil, the solids or meal is used in dairy, chicken and hog animal rations.

      1. I actually used to work as an “opener” back in the early days of McDonalds in Canada. Store # 8002 on SW Marine Drive and & # 8001, the one on #5 rd in Richmond. They along with Store # 8004 on 4st NW Calgary were the first ones that opened in Canada back in 1965-66.

        On Fridays, i would drain-empty-clean the vats and fill with fresh SOLID blocks of White Tallow. The Fries were always best on Fridays. We also used Fresh potatoes too. First filled the Basket with fresh fries…”blanche” them for about 5-7 min and pull em out to put on the racks to drain….then they were ready for actual frying later on.

        The Burger meat was all fresh as well…and cooked on a grill…I did the Lunch rush on the grill Mon-Fri. “Tripling” (3 rows of 12 patties-steady.) as long as ya had a good guy on “buns”, you could move product pretty quick… Yea, those were the days – no girls working there…white shirts with black bow ties – Blue paper McDonalds hat on the head.

        And a small menu. 0.25 burgers – 10-25 cent drinks – 20-30 cent fries – 25 cent shakes. Big Macs at 60 cents… Fillets at 35. And no Calculators…ya added it up in yer head as ya grabbed and filled the order.
        It was easy.
        It was fast.
        And it was fun to be honest.

        Making, when I first started: 0.50/hr.

        1. You would have been with Micky D’s about the time my husband’s cousin signed on to them in Vancouver. We’ve not been in contact with the family for many years, but this brought back remembrances. I do remember the time when the signs bragged about how many burgers sold.

  2. Bees love oilseed rape. (Tisdale boasted “The Land of Rape and Honey”)
    To “protect nature” the greenies are going to starve the bees out and lessen their own food security.
    Here in Canada local honey production is doing well and growing, as is canola production. Because of neonicotinoids.

  3. Meanwhile food prices as a whole are collapsing, along with restaurant demand.

    It’s hard to see what the endgame here is, if it’s not to sell Canada’s farmland to Chinese investors at a fraction of fair value.

    The Chinese have a long tradition of eating vermin (and hence of starting plagues) because until the late 20th century there was never enough to eat in China. Ever. China’s population is ten times what China’s own farmland can possibly feed.

    So they want Canada to export all its food to China, and for us to eat vermin instead.

  4. ““Organic” is The Latin Word For “Grown In Pig Shit””

    Also known as, the Liberal mind.

  5. Standard action of the Democrat Dirty Tricks Department. They use the internet to send out the Democrat Daily Talking points coordinating the words provided and said in the DDTp. The Democrat Daily Talking points Directs what words are to be said by the bought-off colluding and corrupted Lame Stream Smearedia; not mailing a letter into a Federal System now dealing with the most significant Pandemic in a Century.

    Yet they, the Democrat Dirty Tricks Dpartment, D.D.T.D. want to grab attention away from the Daily Information Process, established by the Republican President; who has been providing every thing currently known each Day.

    S.O.A.P. will not be fooled. They are becoming more aware of the “Great Experiment”.

    Plus the U.S.A.’s place as Americans and S.O.A,P.’s role in the effort defined by POTUS #1 ___ George Washington.
    _______ “Our Cause is Noble: __It Is The Cause Of Mankind”. ______

    The role of America’s S.O.A.P. and the real Agenda of having as the ———-Sovereign Ordinary Average Person —- is “Human Rights and Responsibilities of the Indivtual” ___building toward having a Viable Social Contract in every Culture and Nation.

    S.O.A.P. also is setting aside the False Narrative of the Ivey League’s Tuition overcharging and preempting the access of Government Careers to the select descendants of persons with current powerful positions. The Ivey League process of tenure and exorbitant salaries.

    Such as at Columbia School of Journalism, well recognized and yet never said, to be pushing the European Union — One World Meme — in the “old world money & middle east oil money” of ignoring the American Experience, the Great Experiment, to create a similar Anocracy of monarchial Bureaucrats.

    The ANOCRACY, which the United Kingdom’s remnant S.O.A.P. fought off the Anocratic effort of the Parliament of Westminster with Brexit. The S.O.A.P. of the United Kingdom, although still a Constitutional Monarchy in support of Tourism, recognize:___ Their heritage of Magna Carta; the Long Parliament of the Middle of the 17th, Century; Admiral Nelson at Trafalgar; Lord Wellington at Waterloo; W.W.One and W.W.Two; Churchill; Falkland Islands; The Iron Lady. ___

    The Ivey League of America is enthralled with Oxford; Cambridge; Sorbonne; the Anocracy of France; Germany’s Anocratic Socialism, and for some completely unknown reason the Communism of China and Russia which are not Anocrastic; but Dictatorships.

    1. And what in the ever loving world does your endless screed have to do with neocontinoids and oilseed rape production and the production problems involved? Anything? anything at all? Why are you blathering on about this stuff in a thread like this? Do you just like to read you own mindless dreck in order to feel important? Shakes head. Spits.

    2. Agreed, JohnPeg – and why use an acronym (SOAP) several times before you define it? I am thinking of treating your missives as those of UnMe – i.e., skip without reading, as too long to read relative to informative content.
