Yea give me a break corporate farms get no
subsidies. Yea rite. 3 years then sell to
new corporate farm continue.
In canada your limited by our weather on
the sise of farm. In Brazil its not a
problem. But here one screw up and your
toast.
One Moon will end, so will Sparce acre.
They wont get their crops all seeded
again.

Without govt meddling the natural force of consolidation would have ensured a lot less farms a lot sooner.
However, govt attitudes are maybe a bit dated. The One Earths etc. should never benefit. As in cattle payments, how do you draw a line?
Thought for the day: Try to explain the way we file taxes to a non-farmer and the why. Similar concept as comparing to other businesses over disaster aid.
Farming is like NO other business.
How would self insuring and self banking and accrual accounting and no GST exempts change things? I'm thinking Brazil or Russia?
I could be wrong.
Just saying be careful comparing the business of farming to others.
BTW I'd be disgusted if Broadass collected as would the rest of you.

Broadass did collect huge amounts last
year on flood acres. Nothing was seeded on
most of their Foamlake Ituna farm. The
cupar lentils were feed and Canary they
cant sell Its worthless and rotting.
So yes they are at the Trough

Yes I'm sure. The year of BSE we got a total of 50% of what we were elegible for. Since then we have gone almost entirely out of cattle and into grain. So far its been a good decision. That year we had a huge loss cause we thought we were protected with futures, but the day the news came our cattle on the farm tanked and because we don't have a futurs market in canada we hedged through chicago and US beef went limit up. Oh well! But I do agree, the less involved we can keep the government the more control our individual farms will have in the long term. Europeans can't sneeze on there dirt without a piece of paper to back it up!
