Guess who has a meeting in Palm Springs

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes Vwalk but pay for a trip your self. These groups make me sick they drink party and do shit all. At least if I do that I’m paying to do it.

But I bet I learned more than any of these guys about farming in the USA or around The world

[furrowtickler]

To all agriculture producer groups .... please for the next generation.. think ...

Not just think about next years holiday destination.

Ya and families of the employees are probably going all expenses paid.... Like parents brothers sisters... Not just spouses.

lapping at the trough

the wheat growers can have a meeting wherever they want.
they pay their own way , well with help from chem co.s
railroads ,and grain .cos . their bosses

is palm springs that much more , than Saskatoon or Regina.
just you , do not need to do it , all the time.

I always thought we got value from the pulse levy.
better than the others

only way to get value is to get rid of levies and have auto donation researchers

Maybe we should scrap all commissions and producer orgs.
We'll start lobbying govts and showcasing products through wienerville.
Much more effective.

much more honest in any case

In a effort to be a little more constructive what’s wanted, needed, ?

- get rid of Association groups ( things will look after themselves)? Save checkoff expenses.

- get rid of agronomy? Or more agronomy?

- get rid of communications / news rely on trade or independent consultants to inform growers, vs more

- no organized contribution to winter meetings Pulse days or other events, vs more

- no govnt communication or lobbying vs more

- reducing office staff level or increase

The question should be, what can be done better going forward and how?

we gotta get organized and take back our money and from there people in government can stop lying the levies are working when really we're all to tired of the bullshit to bother

Not sticking up for the past but has anyone done a cost comparative to the cost of marketing including market development, R&D and the cost of inspection compared to the way it is today after Marketing Freedom for Grain Farmers Act and Modernization of Grain Act?
