Saskfarmer3, Careful that you don't slip over the edge, phone the farmer stress line or something, don't be afraid to ask for some help. An illness such as yours should not go untreated. Penny pinching and chiseling, while framing can, will drive anyone mad. And in the MEANTIME, make sure you git the combining done, I'm sure you have the biggest and best equipment that loans can buy, so it should only take a few minutes to clean up the last few thousand acres of superlative crop, dump it in a pile, then start drying it with your new, brand new, grain dryer, purchased at a discounted rate in Amerika! Almost forgot, screw Canadia!

Perhaps the difference between saskatchewan3 and you is that he runs a business with all the stress that goes with it. You have a way of life (framing) that you seem to enjoy (always smiling) with the ability to make money a secondary factor. There are not too many businesses (including farming) that can be treated as a way of life. Suggests that you are either retired or have given up on farming. May be wrong.

What the expression - If treat farming like a business, it is a very good way of life. If you treat farming like a way of life, it is a very poor business.

Churchill and canadas north are very,very interesting.The nuclear power plants,new oil sands projects,new mineral projects and the opening up of the north west passage to asia make for really wild oppurtunities.Of course the timeline is way out there.

Charliep, Thank you for all of your delightful/meaningful insight, about me and my op. Amazing how smart the gov't boys/girls are! Bet you've never earned one penny from actually framing. Course you got a brother or cos, or grew up on a fram in Sask or Man, so you know all about it, lifestyle, business, and of course shovelling it bigtime. Course a bunch more of you bov't boys/girls might be out of work soon. Cas of the interweb. Saw our local out of work former AB gag guy, comin out of the liquor store the other day, looked like hell. He didn't start framing after being forced from his job with Ab gag, guess that tells you something doesn't it. He was a good guy to very dedicated, didn't suck up to much to his employer or framers for that matter. Just a few thoughts about the future to chew on. Just trying to be insightful too!
