Saskatchewan election prediction

furrow I voted for the change because the alternative was so depressing and outdated. But the oil boom is a factor of world price of oil and yes Wall flew around to the oil companies prior to the election and the day after they couldn't get in fast enough, the SP came in at at the right time more than doing anything. But as far as governing rural doctors etc. there has been not much improvement, crap insurance is worse at least for us it is, still no one federal or provincial will work with us farmers to deal with the always present problem of expenses and risk, we see daily the small big and in between farms turning over at an increasing rate and more and more ending up foreign owned. The cwb gone or voluntary is not the answer it is just another marketing tool nothing more, but has been a convenient distraction both federally and provincially for the govs to not deal with anything else more important. jmho

by the way how did that black gold I think it was called turn out on your canola comparison? If I survive financially and can put a crop in next year(doesn't look promising) would like any advantage possible.

It will be a saskp landslide. And lest we forget the last time this gov't had a landslide(1982) WE Are still Paying for the Debt they racked up under Devine

This Boom started Started Before Saskparty came to Power even Brad admits this. When you have Commodities that the world Wants even the High School Student council could Govern.

Should we Get a bigger piece of the royalty Pie or just that crumb that fell to the floor?
Eventually the good times in commodities will end so we better have some Money in the coffers to show for it

The Black Lable canola Macro Nutrient was interesting. We seen a high of 5 bus/ac increase and a low of 2. Tissue samples taken after application showed an increase in phos and a more balanced nutrient ratio.
In the field we seen better plant stucture and pod developement in every treatment. Very noticable in the swather as well. I think under normal conditions a 5 bus increase could be sustained. We had sprayed it on alot of our reseeded canola that had 8 days of 30 deg heat after swathing, some of the yield potential was lost. Definitely going to try more next year as it was easy to use and net benifit was there. If I can make an extra $50 with a $7 investment, it has my attention. Question is, will using an extra $7 in N/P/S do the same? Thats next years project. Problem for us becomes volume and time at seeding if we bump fert rates. Also next year an extra $7 in fert will not go very far.

Thanks for the info furrow! If I can afford will at least try some. A neighbor tried another brand of micro but he did not leave check strip so hard to make comparison when comparing to other fields miles away, but he thought it helped. Check strip is the thing to do.

If the natives are restless, and they have nothing to do, they could start by digging down for pot and oil with their moose and bison shoulderblades.

See on the one hand they want to retain their culture, and yet get revenue from resources they never would have developed.

Well here is what their supposed rich culture was like. They wandered aimlessly without the use of the wheel. They were mostly starving. They would burn the grass that fed the bison, then wonder why thier food disappeared. Read pallisers book. This is what he found when he crossed the prairies.

I simply ask that rather than resent the white man forever, and teach their kids how we screwed them, that they respect him, make themselves respectable as a whole, and move on with life. Or, they should revert to the way it was before.. Killing game with sinews, willows and alder branches. Not using spotlights to hunt moose with highpowered rifles on land I paid for. oops, their land.

I don't mean to sound harsh, but lets get over it already.

For the record, I hire natives at times, and the ones who work agree wholeheartedly!

We all should share in the resources, but we all should work together at extracting them. AS ONE PEOPLE, not two. or this will never be resolved.

Well said Freewheat!

As regards natives , the sooner any political party removes handouts , takes away their tax free status and starts to treat them as regular Canadians the better .
The bad news is there isn't a politician out there with cojones big enough .
