Was this a year from hell?

[checking]

I believe I'd like a repeat of it in 2010.

[grrrr]

I would like another year like this. Best crop ever. I think it was a year for farming on a smaller scale rather than on a larger scale.

Too many farmers in this area with extreme stress and despair this summer and then fall.

I don't ever want to see that again.

Yea Ill take the yields any year to be like the last two only thing i would change is the frosts for a whole week in June and harvesting in late October and November like we had in 08 and 09. A lot of bigger guys my self included are wondering if were at a very comfortable size. We just turned down another 1600 acres of which we probably could buy 480 in future.

If I have another year like this one I will hang myself. Way too much work and worry if the crop will amount to anything for my nerves. I need a normal year to keep my sanity.

[Hopperbin]

Why would you want a year like this?
So that you can sit back and laugh at farmers not done before the end of September? Joking. If you like a challenge, this was a good year.

[frustrated1]

I vote worst year. Froze in spring and fall, drought in between. Plowed crop under, baled it, silaged it and then combined in 4 different months. Talk about stress, here I am at 2 am wondering how to pay the bills when CAIS claws back an overpayment (they generated) by taking it off my crop insurance cheque. Precious little grain put in the bins. Survive another year like this? Not sure I'm going to survive this one. Oh, but I'm sure agstability will step up to save me. It's such an improved program. Or perhaps our health care will just take care of me when the stress takes its toll? I'm leaning towards worst year, but I will agree it's a challenge.

This news has been out there for over a week now and the national newspapers and the national tv networks, go on making themselves more irrelevant and more un-trustwothy by the day by not covering this story.

Man-made global warming is being shown to be a scam and a hoax and the crickets have never been louder.

Thanks to Smalldeadanimals.com for doing the job the MSM should be doing.

Not only are we seeing the death of man made global warming, were witnessing the death of the MSM.

My problem with global warming/climate change is not that it is happening it always has.

I believe history tells us it always has been changing, perhaps the most unusual thing is how little change there has been in the last couple of millenium.

I just dont understand how they can put any meaningful value to the measures they say we need to take.

The variables are just too great making any results little better than the number they first thought of, or less politely "absolute bullshit".

The signs of the zodiac could be used just as effectively to predict the future.

Sure makes you wonder what our own little "Wheat Board Gate" would turn up if anyone would ever do a comprehensive audit.

I'm guessing a little bit of "Premium Price" data has been lost between floors at 423.
