Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦As a journalist, I thought I knew what it meant to dig up good dirt. Turns out I didn’t know where the really good dirt was! <a href="https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/paula-simons-all-the-dirt-on-why-soil-matters-so-much-and-why-its-at-risk" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://edmontonjournal.com/opinion/columnists/paula-simons-all-the-dirt-on-why-soil-matters-so-much-and-why-its-at-risk</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AGFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGFO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soil</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/soilhealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soilhealth</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alberta</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenateofCanada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Edmonton" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Edmonton</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/EdmontonJournal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#EdmontonJournal</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/agriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#agriculture</a>

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Buckle up! I’m headed to Calgary this morning. It’s not my first rodeo, but it’s my first time going to Stampede “professionally” - in my persona as a Senator and the deputy chair of the Senate agriculture committee. I will report on my cowboy cosplay misadventures, as an “all hat, no cattle” kind of girl. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Calgary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Calgary</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/CalgaryStampede" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CalgaryStampede</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yyc" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yyc</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alberta</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AGFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGFO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Stampede" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Stampede</a>

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦And here, if you are intrigued, is a link to our press conference this morning, which was covered live on CPAC. (Note to my American friends - CPAC in Canada means something QUITE different than it does south of the border.) <a href="https://www.cpac.ca/headline-politics/episode/senate-committee-presents-report-on-canadian-soil-health--june-6-2024?id=fad0cd6a-8d94-488f-9af0-205940cab697" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.cpac.ca/headline-politics/episode/senate-committee-presents-report-on-canadian-soil-health--june-6-2024?id=fad0cd6a-8d94-488f-9af0-205940cab697</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AGFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGFO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenateofCanada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SoilHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoilHealth</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Soil</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/yow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#yow</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Ottawa" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ottawa</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/RegenerativeAgriculture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RegenerativeAgriculture</a>

Senator Paula Simons🇨🇦Our next stop was the farm of Kevin Auch, the head of Pulse Canada. With the help of strategic irrigation and regenerative agricultural techniques, from no-till to intercropping, he is bringing in harvests of yellow peas, chickpeas, flax and wheat on very dry land with sandy soil. <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SenateofCanada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SenateofCanada</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/AGFO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AGFO</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/Alberta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Alberta</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/soil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#soil</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/SoilHealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoilHealth</a> <a href="https://mstdn.ca/tags/pulses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#pulses</a>
