Interesting comments ...
The very guys that had Gerry Ritz'sear when trying to set up the unicorn type open market were, in fact, the same guys in front of the parliamentary ag committee saying how the canola market was impacting their farm...
While some are doing great there are more that are not .... guys get hit by a black Swan event like ILTA grain...or a hailstorm. ..or 3 years of drought....or trade issues....while the answer may be to get out of the industry so that the rest can continue on the profitable way....what happens when it happens to you......are you ready to pack it in for circumstances out of your control?
Because I see many industries that don't have to pack it in and rely on government help and are still paying dividends to shareholders....
Why would agriculture be any different...
For instance I didn't see government taking shares of Morris industries with another government payment/handout. ..nor do I see their equipment prices being lowered...
Or evraz who received 40 million ...no shares to the government just handouts ....
Maybe these two are the bombardier of the prairies....
What is frustrating is the governments line about helping producers ...or staying on the cutting edge of technology.....it's a bullshit line. ...
