    Old Farmers Sour G****s

    Have you ever spoken to an old farmer,
    who was happy wit life, or said he liked
    farming? Most despise grain companies,
    railroads, neighbours and everyone in
    the business. They were cheated and
    used by everyone including the cwb, who
    still owe them a nickle from the 1938
    wheat harvest. The grin and smile at
    the new generation, wit their monster
    machines, rippin the earth and pouring
    the chemicals to her. Sustainable, er
    not the future will be interesting.
    After all, who really cares, time to
    cash in anyway, pensions, rrsps, and
    high land prices. What more could one
    want. Oh sure we'll miss the ole stump
    ranch, butt really, who cares?????

      You have a screwed up socialist attitude. Basically, you want a family on each quarter when the reality is the industry has changed,like every industry changes over time. Get in front of it or get run over. Or do your thing and be happy. The desire to be able to control the size of someone else's operation and restrict innovation and efficiency is beyond me. I will put my sustainability up against yours anyday Burbert.

      Those that continually are concerned about being cheated are normally the ones that are doing the cheating.

            Hopperbin: Where do you sign up for your Mutual Fu** hate club. There better not be any membership fees since we already paid the price just owning them over the last 20 years!!!

              Well my dad put 150 dollars per year into a mutual fund for one of the grand kids accounts. 18 years later supposed to be 150 times 18 equals 2700 and there is a total of 3600. What the ****?

                Hopperbin: Not a bad calculated annual compound rate of return (I realize MF's don't work that way). More than I can say for my portfolio.
