The Growing Season, Feb 15, 2025 - Grown In Canada

“Questions, concerns, queries?” Lets chat!So who had “an important time in history” on their bingo card for February 2025?We sure didn’t! Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland guide The Growing Season into waters inspired by the current news-making trade-war that Canada currently finds itself embroiled in with the United States. We’re proud to be Grown in Canada!Obviously politics will figure into this week’s conversation and Canada’s border with the US is the topic that kicks off the show. What does “Made In Canada” actually mean? Where does broccoli come from at this time of the year. Jack and Matt get into an argument over the subject. The trend from farming in Canada gets the boys heated in conversation. What is the “Wheat Board?”  How does it function? Jack dives into the different types of farming and their environmental impact. Canada is known for their blueberries. Why? Cheese, milk, eggs and all things dairy are Canadian specialities. The trio discuss our dairy superiority. You’ll be surprised to learn the water requirements for a single cow. Potatoes!  Yup. We get Canadian about them spuds. Canola is the most valuable crop you can grow in Canada. Hens and hormones - let’s talk. If it’s grown in Canada the McFarlands talk about it on this week’s show. Tune in.
