Cause and effect...

Nothing wrong with positive thinking but deceiving yourself by denying negative facts doesn't change the reality of a situation...just your perception of it.

Suppressing "negative" emotions is NOT healthy.


What is the real purpose of "Ag More than Ever" and who is it meant for?

Never has so many relied on so few....

Who is "advocating" for the primary producer? Because sometimes I don't think anyone is listening to them...

[farmaholic]

Yup, it's gone vvalk.

I may have said the same thing but much "wordier"

farmaholic....


yup i pulled my comment , then listened again and its still just noise.

Those that want to talk.... how about mentioning the carbon tax bullshit or the fact that there is a bill in front of the so called sober second thought senate that won't technically solve the issue with the railways.

And even if it did why is there no regulator of the railways with enforcement authority? Why....because the senate is waiting for their brown paper bags of cash.

So why think these advocates are going to solve the problem if they don't understand it in the first place?

Is that better for those that think this agvocate nonsense funded by growing forward funds or the leeches that live very well off our productivity?

[farmaholic]

Yup....

[bucket]

Your welcome....lol.

In the last month I have been to irrigation meetings where government officials are at....

I am torn on this issue but when guys want a 70 million assets turned over for a looney it just pisses me off. It's a 5000 dollar an acre capital subsidy....plus then they continue to ask for more help....


What's even worse is they grew 3500 acres of 10000 irrigated to lentils....

Must be teaching the Nebraska irrigator how to grow lentils instead of corn...

BTW the government will probably cave in....

[bucket]

Any other issues an agvocate would like to discuss? ?

[farmaholic]

Railroads

"Transparent" open market

Machinery and parts costs

Gutted and inadequate insurance and risk management programs

One sided grain contracts

Hyper inflated land prices that shut out our own young farmers....REAL farmers....agvocate THAT!!!!!

Consolidated uncompetitive industries supplying goods and services to producers

Ad nauseam

[farmaholic]

The above are all regulatable and controllable..........unlike the weather!

[bucket]

Why do I think these agvocates will be enjoying the new lifestyle after the RBA...??????

.....i apologize for dragging down what should have been a positive thread, there was still a good message in the starting post.
