Seed costs for canola out of line with latest shit show with China.

[SASKFARMER]

It won’t because this time the banks have all the cards. Section 427 of the bank act gave it to them. Farmers signed up to get operating loans.

Corporations were created.

All file a set of books that are audited by a accountant.

Banks hold the cards.


Lied or fudged on grain or cash you do jail time .

They learnt the last time.

It won’t happen.

What I found annoying was getting a text from an input retailer saying canola seed prices were going up, in light of and despite of the current situation.

Are retailers and SeedCos that detached from reality?

There is no shortage of seed, the odd variety may be sold out but there is likely more than enough seed to seed intended acres. What those leaches want is a commitment AND your money months in advance of being able to use the seed, and if you don't give them what they want....it will simply cost you more, sounds like ****en extorsion to me.

**** OFF SeedCos and high pressure retailers.

👍 well said. Next year if things turn around we’ll get the same old seed back for the price of new. I had signed up for some Truflex but probably send that one packing if China is pulling these tricks. They’re likely to pull approval of that too.

We’ve had a good run in ag here the last 12 years or so. Enough money came in to entice a new generation to get in with an un jaded view of ag, willing to go all out. Now old dogs come home to die.

Ah how we go round and round and round.


This semiretirement thing isn’t bad.

Dealing at home on a quarter not a care in the world if I get or not.

[SASKFARMER3]

How come some northern quarters are assesd as high or higher than flat heavy clay quarters to the south.

Ah a owner who for 50 years wanting to sell vs a guy just trying to make a living.


Yea it’s a fair system land assessment.

$550k per quarter here south of Regina. Take that money invested in the company that crossed my land with a pipeline (Enbridge) is more money than farming the land.

It is we averaged 7.2 on some and I think 5 across the board.

Not much risk and home in Florida is up 12% and home in Regina according to the neighbour that just sold three buyers bid war and sold for 9% more than asking. They needed a few things like heated garage and sprinklers and finished basement plus marble and tile.

And on the farm canola unprofitable, wheat and barley barely and peas we’ll just don’t grow is a option.

Equipment up

Seed up

Fert. Up

Chemical up

Diesel up

Actually every thing thanks to a useless carbon tax.

https://outline.com/R9NBBh How a thaw in U.S.-China trade feud could leave Canada out in the cold

The collateral damage from preferential Chinese purchases could extend to other sectors, including agriculture, where there is significant overlap between what Canada and the United States sell. Both countries are major exporters of wheat, oil seeds, beef, pork and other farm commodities. Both countries also export civilian aircraft to China.

Buh bye Canada, courtesy of the Liberals.
