Canada Day....

I was 16 in 1972. A friends father gave 4 of us his 1969 Olds Cutlass to take out to Alberta for a summer vaca. It had a 350 rocket, 4 bbl, dual exhaust. The ultimate family car! We were all 16.

We picked up girls, scary hitchhikers, drag raced some Indians in Fort Macleod in a Dodge Dart swinger, and had lots of adventures.

Back on the farm, Dad was finally making money. The '70s saw him buy a car, tractors, a combine, and pay for it all with cash.

Why does no one report on the 'STAGGERING' price of equipment, parts, seed, chem, fuel, grain bins, vehicles, marketing etc?

[farmaholic]

Maybe the "staggering highs" are from what they're smoking.

Because the industries regulate themselves and are tied to the media as well to control the message.

It's really just reverse communism just replace Putin with whatever industry you want.

Grain industry want to make it look like farmers making money there it is. Never mind they have nothing to sell.

Want to blame farmers for bread prices rising - easy . Just never do story about the price of grain falling in half. Only mention it when grain goes up.

It's controlled media part of collusion that at one time was against the law.

About 1970, NEW Case 1070, $10000, 1972 New case 1270, $13000, but by 1974, JD 4430 up to $18000. Think it increased 30% after Russian Grain Robbery. Oh ya, $2 canola in 1972, $9 canola in 75 or so. Must equal to $20-30 in today's $$.

9 dollars in 1975 is 40 bucks today.

Google it. There is a converter for you.

We are really asking for too much to get thru this drought considering what our product should be worth.

Why I always get the feeling I have a part in financing the world is beyond me. Lol.

God i wish people understand how and why this happened to us.

Could you give me the short version. I really don't understand it.

Everything I buy is indexed. Everything I sell is market driven and fair.

I get confused. Help me because I am truly stupid when it comes to this.
