BCTF Closure...it's rough

The BC Tree Fruits Co-Op announced it's immediate closure on July 25th. This shocked the apple sector, and hit the co-op's 300+ members pretty hard. Herein: a summary of the story so far, and an interview with a co-op member who's super pissed about this. She explains why the closure is such a big deal in terms of the impact it will have on apple growers for this year's harvest. Got something to tell me?

BONUS: Another perspective on the agrologist regulation

In episode 13, which focused on how agrologists are regulated in BC, I teased the possibility of sharing an interview with someone who has been affected by the regulation that grants exclusivity over the practice of agrology in BC to registered agrologists. Here's that interiew, but you'll get a lot more out of it by first listening to episode 13. My guest for this episode is Leanne Smith of Fencefast.

The Burkholders Bros: Sweet Corn in Chase

This time on the podcast, a conversation with Vincent and Lewis Burkholder, a pair of brothers who worked summers for the local sweet corn baron as teenagers and ended up taking over his operation, sort of. I'm referring, of course, to The Burkholder Bros Corn Farm, a business that thwarted my effort to nab the URL I wanted in order to promote a new sport I invented where contestants race to try to catch an ear of corn dangled on a stick mounted to a 2009 Honda Fit. I was interested to talk to Vincent and Lewis because of their reputation for innovative approaches to the planting, cultivation, and harvesting of sweet corn. We talk about that, how they were forced to pivot from a tried and true sales model in their first year of production because of a crown-shaped virus, why they’re okay with a grizzly bear taking up residence in the corn patch, and a bunch more.

You should care about how BC defines 'agrology'

This episode: Jane Kerner, interim CEO of the British Columbia Institute of Agrologists, joins me to discuss recent updates to how professional agrologists are regulated in BC, the definition of agrology contained in that regulation, and what the exclusivity granted to agrologists in BC to offer agricultural advice means for farmers and other farming professionals who want to provide advice without a professional agrologist designation. My contention is that the definition of agrology in the regulation is too broad. Jane disagrees! And we had a fulsome debate I think you'll enjoy. If you want to understand the regulations governing agrology in BC, this PDF from the BCIA website goes into much more detail than Jane and I do. Got something to tell me?

A Familial Farmer Feud About The Weather Forecast

This episode: you'll hear from two brothers who farm next door to one another who fight about which weather forecast is better: Environment Canada or The Weather Network. Then: a meteorlogist from each agency joins me to explain how and why forecasts from different agencies come to different conclusions about whether it's going to rain on while you're haying. Thanks to Quentin Bruns for inspiring this episode; to Herman Bruns for hosting me for an interview; to Doug Gillham from The Weather Network and Armel Castellan from Environment Canada; and to my wife, Vanessa, who made the intro/outro music for the podcast.
