Avos. Its awesome to be living close to the export farms. Those are sub grade. About $7 for the crate!

The I grew up in used to have a cantaloupe, actually musk melon, packing shed. It was about a mile from my house and some days you could get a crate of 50 melons for as little as $0.25.

More and more control. Its scary. Soon you can be sued for giving your neighbor a basket of fruit and veg.

USDA’s latest data shows China owns over 191,000 acres of U.S. lands, but that was before a North Dakota land sale this Spring.


A Chinese company, Fufeng Group, recently acquired 300 acres in North Dakota for $2.6 million. According to the company, it intends to establish a milling plant. Does land owned by China pose a security risk to the U.S.?

This is interesting. We got ourselves into a mess with bio technology. This is a serious step if what they claim is true. Could generate real effective medicines from this. But like recent history have shown us the powers to be would probably just monetize, weaponize and capitalize on this.

What gets to me it that nitrogen pollution that does not seem anywhere as serious as this DHMO issue is being used to gain property. First the Netherlands and India now Canada.
It would be a devastating blow on industry to try and ban it now.

Thanks for informing me about this. Reminds me of formaldehyde.

Its the nitrogen oxide gas and ammonia that would be the possible concern. It dissolves into water evaporates and comes down in raindrops. It is a concern just handled poorly.

I KNOW! There is more Nitrogen than Oxygen in our air!

If I recall from my physics class, the nitrogen molecule is heaver than the Oxygen molecule hence explaining the ratio. And, one might argue the fact but there is less oxygen molecules at higher altitudes, but this is due to the fact that there is less air pressure to "push" the oxygen molecules together.

If the fertilizer is used in just the right amount all of it gets used. It is the overuse that leads to leaching nitrogen pollutants into water runoff. Over marketing and bad implementation is the bigger problem.
More must be better right?
