All this straw comes from a good few hundred rie ,and they is a lot more where this has come from . And it means a good few hundred rie not going up in smoke . Maybe a just a drop in the ocean but it is a start, this straw will be going for Bio Fuel. This is great to see, but it's clear that this cost a few bob. The real problem is the small farms, who live hand-to-mouth, who have such a tiny plot in comparison, that it's easier to just light the fire.

Does the average rice, corn, sugar cane farmer care? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toany Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 well it has not worked the farmers are still burning the sugar cane tonight. Easy way is to ban the sugar cane factories from processing burnt sugar cane. If they cant sell it, they wont burn it before they harvest it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would a man want to build a house where the air is clean when he can raise his family in a toxic environment? with the flaming I’m getting it looks like I’m wrong? after the Chernobyl disaster people moved away i guess they were also wrong? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a poor parenting decision to raise children in Thailand to begin with. These are usually (there are some exceptions) people who made poor life decisions making more poor life decisions for their children. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forza2002 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The Govt. can create as many rules as they like, good for show to demonstrate that they are doing something about the problem. Unfortunately the laws are hardly ever enforced due to incompetence, laziness, bribes etc; so it's all a bit pointless... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the laws are hardly ever enforced due to incompetence, laziness, bribes etc; so it's all a bit pointless... In addition, they need to address the "why" as to burning. Usually it's a lack of resources to pay for any other method. We have a large Burmese migrant population in my area, they all work at the local clothing mills and they all burn their trash in a couple of pits right around the corner from the factory. They are certainly not going to pay for trash collection given that they barely make enough to keep themselves fed and send a few baht back to Myanmar. This is where government and private industry need to step in and provide a centralized trash hauling...they profit handsomely on the labor but do nothing about the problems of managing this influx of people.

bloodyholly Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 “Stop burning farm waste or face legal action” I sincerely hope they have more success than that other campaign that threatened legal action..... the one that went something like - “wear a helmet when riding a motorcycle or face legal action” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthainess Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 And here i am on my idyllic Island, with a neighbor burning off his land as I type, with the smoke drifting into his house with 3 kids inside, and his wife also does daycare for others they just don't care or comprehend what their actions cause to others they just don't give a <deleted>. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good valid point ,but on this forum the post about burning of crops and crop residue, are about the large cane growers ,your small subsistence farmer could not afford to grow any cane ,with they just a few rie ,it would probably take 15-20 of them to be the same scale as some of the big cane grower ,and not all of them will burn their crop residue . In this area all the big farms grow mainly cane ,but with the drought and low cane prices a lot are diversifying to other crops mainly cassava, and cane acreage has defentily dropped Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy way is to ban the sugar cane factories from processing burnt sugar cane. If they cant sell it, they wont burn it before they harvest it Most of the cash yards around here have already stopped buying burnt cane, and the quota yards (Mitr Phon in our case) don't really care what the government says. So the government has already taken it's best shot. Particulate content not too bad around here though - can't really complain. The biggest fire I've seen close to here though, was on government land on the mountain foothills. Looks like the government itself might be the biggest offenders locally...

Burning San Kamphaeng, this not farmland. Been going on for a week now off and on. Would be government land. That is horrific. Wild fires? And if so, why is no attempt being made to put them out? And if not wildfires, who is responsible? On government land one would think if there as a will, it would be fairly easy to bring the heinous offenders to justice. Burning should be made a felony conviction, with significant prison time, and huge fines levied on the family, and their homes. Things would change overnight. This administration appears to have little interest in tackling the air quality issues here. It will only get worse, with this "do nothing attitude". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
