As most here in AB probably already know, in their wisdom, Kenney and his dipshit kid ag minister privatized or did away with a lot of different departments within Alberta Agriculture, one of them was the well known Blue Book for chemicals. I knew that a consortium of grain boards had stepped up to take it on and I just saw it had been posted on Twitter, it is available for preorder including shipping, or appears available online for free. www.albertabluebook.com/ |

Thanks for posting this. I'm glad this is being taken on by private entities. I'd be hard pressed to effective operate without it.
Pretty sad how disinterested the PCs are in agriculture in general. We've lost a lot of resources lately and we'll never get them back. Our local MLA is a farmer I think. When we talked to him a year ago all he could talk about was some exciting project to write a constitution for Alberta. My opinion of all politicians has never been lower.+
My brother in law is a PhD extension researcher and specialist in North Dakota at NDSU. He gets a decent budget and does a lot of good work for farmers all over ND and Minnesota. It's tax money well spent. ND has a lot of oil in their economy like we did, but they also recognize how important agriculture is to the state's economy, or so it appears. It's telling that he gets a fair number of calls from and assists farmers as far away as Alberta.

Looks like the 2021 edition has not be released yet. Says we can pay to pre-order a dead-tree version, will be available in March. EDIT: If I stopped to read what you wrote carefully I would have seen you already said that.
