RR7012C SASKATCHEWAN: NO FUTURE IN WHEAT?
The world market for grain could be facing a price
slump by the end of 1970. The main reason is the
wheat surpluses held in Canada, Australia and the
United States, estimated at 60 million tons, of which
27 million tons is in Canada. Of Canada’s surplus, two
thirds is contributed by Saskatchewan Province.
Huge supplies of wheat have been built up in
Saskatchewan because of the decline in exports;
farmers there have become short of cash and
operating capital. One immediate result of the slump
is the large scale bartering of goods for wheat;
anything from petrol to education can be transacted
for so many bushels of wheat. Roving Report went to
Saskatchewan to interview farmers and see the
problems they are facing.

William Davis – Wheat: The UNhealthy Whole Grain

By


Description given on Youtube:
The wheat of today is not the wheat of our mothers or grandmothers. Modern wheat is the product of genetic manipulations that have transformed its properties. Modern wheat is now a 2-foot tall, high-yield semi-dwarf strain, different in both appearance and multiple biochemical features from traditional wheat. Introduction of this new strain of wheat was associated with the appearance of a long list of health problems, along with weight gain and diabetes.

According to Dr. Davis, saying goodbye to all things wheat provides outsized and unexpected health benefits, from weight loss, to relief from acid reflux and bowel urgency, to reversal of diabetes, migraine headaches, and learning disabilities in children.

Dr. William Davis is author of the #1 New york Times bestselling book, Wheat Belly: Lose the wheat, lose the weight and find your path back to health (Rodale, 2011), now debuting internationally in over ten foreign languages. Wheat belly has helped spark a nationwide reconsideration of the conventional advice to “eat more healthy whole grains.”

Formerly an interventional cardiologist, he now confines his practice to prevention and reversal of coronary disease in his practice in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Dr. Davis is a graduate of the St. Louis University School of Medicine, followed by training in internal medicine and cardiology at the Ohio State University Hospitals, and training in interventional cardiology at the Case–Western Reserve Hospitals in Cleveland, Ohio. He is also founder of the online heart disease prevention educational program, Track your Plaque.

Description given on Youtube:
Three species of miconia are known to occur in Queensland. All three species pose a significant threat to our rainforests and are targeted for eradication. Miconia calvescens has also been found at nurseries in northern New South Wales.

Biosecurity Queensland encourages people report this Class 1 pest plant to help stop the establishment, prevent the spread, and to control this pest.
