Ritz just told all us flooded farmers to F&@k Off!

Good point rock pile!

Rockpile, .....qualities fitting or unbefitting a person seeking a seat on the BOD or political office? Culling can be cruel but necessary at times...;-)

Family wiener roast night. Parents, siblings and spouses and kids (some not kids anymore). Enjoy your breaks before the harvest gongshow starts. I realize there are some upset people but lets remember to be grateful for what we do have, health and family. Take care.......

Some see rudeness where others see passion.

brave heart come on
you say the civil service is driving the bus.
so everything wrong is their fault.

the bus driver is Harper,

he won't even let scientists do their science .
He knows better (chosen ones ,
second coming,all that )

i hardly think he would leave ag in the hands of civil servants.

that is the lamest excuse i have ever heard.

I am sure Ritz is not allowed to do anything
but read what some one tells him to.

about all he is capable of.

which is exactly what Harper wanted in all his ministers.

why is it we get the Sarah Palins
and George bush's of politics to be ag ministers .
between Van Cleif and Ritz put together, maybe they could tie a shoe.

you voted for em , your responsible,

rail fiasco , Basis screw job,
your majority govt.
either support them.
or tune your guys in.

if the civil service is running you.
your not fit to govern.

[Braveheart]

They ran the Liberals too. More influence than you can imagine. They're there through govt change. Same people after a cabinet shuffle.

What's more, the civil servants in finance are the ones really behind the ag policy you get. I saw the Deputy Minister of Finance tell the National Safety Nets meeting what was eligible and in eligible expenses for purpose of margin calculations. Finance had already figured out how to fit the risk management programs into the money they wanted to slot in for it. This was a Liberal govt.

Yes, I voted for Harper. I'd do it again. Until someone better comes along he's the only one capable of running the country.

[Braveheart]

If you sold grain into a weak basis, you screwed yourself!

[grassfarmer]

Running it or running it into the ground Braveheart? lol.

[Braveheart]

It's been run into the ground since 1867. No matter who was the figurehead. Somehow, the tribe endures.

Last I checked this was about Marketing and risk management.

The art of the possible to improve our skills is a good use of time and worthy discussion.

Pain and adversely are a natural part of the farm community.

I can't do anything about this.

We can prepare our marketing plan to make the best of farming risks.

Saying I am sorry about your business does nothing to learn better planning or risk management.

Mock me.

Swear at me.

Take lemons and make Lemonade is better.

I had hoped we could learn from our experience and move forward with constructive practice.

Stating that Minister Ritz does not support us is false. Billions are spent each year.

Personal Responsibility will be as it has been in the past... The key to prosperity.

Redistribution of other people's prosperity confiscated isn't going to solve your problem in the long term on the ground.

We do our best.

I hope that includes learning better management.

Swearing at ideas that could help seems less than constructive...

As I have said before many times I hope you have a good harvest.

Be safe.

We are blessed Here in Canada.

We are what we make of ourselves.

Cheers
