Monsanto Xmas Gift to Farmers!

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes I explain that money was lost but No tax is paid against that loss when one makes money. And I was explaining in general whats happening to farmers. CASIP didn't work and neither did Sask Crop insurance etc. That's what the post explaining.
Look at your income tax see how good you did in 02 from frost and 04 and look at what you got from CASIP and Crop insurance ( If you farm in Albert don't look your not in real world)

We better drop this. You have excuse after excuse.

Instead of just calling a spaid a spaid, and admit you like to exagerate.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes Yes Yes Exaggerating loss but on most farms its not exaggeration their loosing money due to poor planning and management. Income tax shows whats happening and most miss top price and don't get best price on inputs etc.
Dropped for today off to lake.

What are the odds of 9 dollar peas when we are all doing the same thing to reduce N costs? Peas hit 10 dollars becuase other crops where high, not because the customer "had to have them"

Actually Dave I believe peas have plenty of export potential as long as India and China keep opening their doors to us, the local Pioneer was shipping 100 cars per week there until farmers quit delivering because there was none left. If they have enough product of their own these doors could close just as fast as they opened as they both protect their farmers with import duties, and we could be back to not likely 3.5 dollar peas but 6 IMO. Now do some math no phosphate, no N, no S. Peas are now becoming a lower risk crop although some of my nieghbours still think peas are high risk because of crop failure. I grew over 1/3 of my acres to peas this year, I don't think I can do that every year. Now for next year I will have to purchase more acres of fertilizer at quite a bit higher cost.

Gee didn't India or Pakistan or Turkey have a shortage.
Americans and Europeans are running to Soy and Canola and Wheat lets run another way Fill Oats Barley Lentils Peas Chickpeas etc market.
Why not run in a different direction and see what happens. you can lock in Prices why not.
Still better 6.00 peas at 45 than 45 canola at 14. minus inputs to grow each crop.
