So...there you have it...Ag ministers promise no immediate help

[MBgrower]

Just happened to be rolling through the TV stations this morning, and saw the Ag minister at some committee meeting. She is absolutely clueless, and couldn't give a ****! Evasive, non answers, except when she said basically, she'll have something to say,,,when she has something to say!
Says she meeting with farm groups, but won't say who, says she has met with a couple farmers, won't say who or where in the country they might be from. Says she got help in place, then the Conservative MP reminds her that was a loan, and we'll have to be repaid with lower priced commodity values, and that was only supposed to be temporary help, not the solution to the problem. Nothing from her.
15444 has nailed it, there's nothing coming,,,and there very well may be nothing for years.

Meanwell, has anyone seen the "canola crush margins" posted anywhere lately? Places I used to get them from, no longer post them. If anyone Knows of a site where they're posted freely(not behind a firewall) please post a link !

COPA used to publish tonnes crushed each week, but the finally figured out they dont have to provide the data to the public and stopped. But stat canada threatens farmers with fines and jail if we dont provide our production numbers, what a joke it is canukastan.

So a per acre payment then? 40 bucks? For everyone, or based on need? I have asked a million times, HOW DOES THE GOVERNMENT SEND OUT THE CHEQUES?

F grass, Trudeau and his cronies have thrown cash at every single group in the country and you accuse us of being welfare bums? I don't see anybody else out here fighting the ****ing weather while china pummels us daily. Are you obtuse or just indoctrinated?

Not to mention, the couple hundred million of taxpayer dollars Justa Turd sends out of the country every 2-3 weeks!

They are sending 40 bucks an acre to irrigated acres in irrigation districts for the next 5 years...

No, you can't give everybody the same that would be SOCIALIST. It has to be means tested like all the other SOCIALIST welfare programs that all the ANTI-SOCIALIST posters on here routinely condemn. There is a base payment per acre but if you take more than one foreign holiday annually it gets scaled back 25%, more than 2 you lose 50% etc.

......help based on production problems, market shortfalls AND/OR management problems?

which measuring stick will be used?

[foragefarmer]

Righties take pride in declaring themselves as Capitalists, and are continually bashing socialism on Agriville, but are now asking the government for some sort of disastrous Ag ad hoc handout.

I would like to hear from someone on Agriville how much of a payment you are expecting and just how would it be administered?

Maybe we can get Unifor to dole to out grass. Would that make you happy?

Give me a break with your anti socialists rhetoric. Farmers aren't on the govts tit like Bombardier and all these other pandered groups. We have the convergence of events out of our control, hostile china, fd up PM and a MAGA in the US which caught skippy napping or high. There should be a mechanism to address it and don't anybody say AgStability.
