    Iceman, some sheds have old paint. The smell in some areas is the smell of mud for 8 straight years...

    I ain't complaining. But it sucks...

        Get big, borrow more, be efficient be the best you can be then get the shaft. Don't farmers ever learn?

          I'm close to the point where I just say screw it. Let them strike as long as they want, encourage CN to do the same along with the dockworkers at port. Lets get this over with once and for all with one huge cluster f@$^. We need a reset of the system. Let everyone starve.

            We might lose a couple weeks, month at the most before the feds step in. The spinoff is too big from us for them to do nothing. Road bans won't go on.

              Macdon has the right idea, let shit hit the fan, these issues have to get worked out and the sooner the better. I don't agree with these unions striking but how the hell do you blame them when in 2012 your CEO total salary with bonus's and stocks was 49.1 million. I'm hearing the same story in the oil patch,these oil company's want everyone to lower rates to help get threw these hard times but the last few years the top brass has been taking huge bonus's. The greed is out if control.

                Well it's nice to see we have one guy who won the grain lottery, nice comments ice man after the next drought takes your farm we will see how well positioned you are.
                But I digress again. This is about guys who have grain to deliver and elevators that are full and farmers who can't get paid because some railway is striking.
                Yes vancouver is taking cargo from the usa. Because of strikes down their.

                    not to worry about the strike.
                    it is a union.
                    Unions are an even lower dog in the govt.s mind than farmers.
                    the gov. will let the strike go on
                    just long enough , to get some mileage about sending them back.

                    it will not be 2 years and billions
                    in losses , like the rail roads performance.
