From a slow-moving vehicle sign on a mailbox to dyed diesel, farm plates, livestock transport, and drainage, I explain what the rules actually say and who enforces them. I also cover untagged calves, unfit animals, kitchen scraps fed to pigs and poultry, unregistered pesticides, raw milk and farm-gate sales, migratory bird nests, burn piles, and diesel emission deletes. The rules differ sharply between provinces, so I point out where Ontario, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and other jurisdictions take different approaches. I’m Glen Kowalchuk, and this video is based on federal and provincial laws, government guidance, enforcement notices, and news reports available at the time of recording. Rules change, so check the current requirements where you farm before making a decision.
