Fertilizer Canada supports Alberta’s petrochemicals program

Nov 04, 2020

OTTAWA, ON – Fertilizer Canada welcomes the Albertan government’s recent launch of the Alberta Petrochemicals Incentive Program (APIP) as part of the province’s Recovery Plan and the Natural Gas Vision and Strategy. The program will help support the province’s economic diversity, of which the fertilizer industry will continue to play a major role.

“Fertilizer is a globally-traded commodity, and we call on all provincial governments to invest in long-term programs like APIP and invest in our industry’s competitiveness,” said Garth Whyte, President and CEO of Fertilizer Canada. “Fertilizer is a rapidly expanding industry, and this is a tremendous opportunity to capitalize on the growing global petrochemical sector and to diversify Alberta’s economy while ensuring a competitive business environment.”

Programs like the APIP will attract significant global investment into not only Alberta’s economy, but Canada’s as a whole. The fertilizer industry, a major consumer of natural gas, has met the needs of Canadian farmers throughout COVID-19 and will continue to play a critical role in ensuring farmers around the world have access to reliable and sustainable fertilizer products.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
