Canada a Shit Hole Country on Ag. USA farmers to get a acreage payment for China prob

His alternative is to tell guys to get out... then cash the cheque others lobbied for....seen it the last time there was a major bailout....

So basically ag is on a 25 yr permanent loop, get some traction, get gouged, get ignored, get regulated, get hammered then call for consolidation again and then rinse and repeat. Sounds like a winning plan until there are just a few thousand farmers left. Then I guess the UN will take the land.

There isn't a 2nd 3rd or 4th generation farm in western canada that hasn't been given a handout and allows these young bucks to farm....

While some leave when the payment come due to various reasons....one of the biggest problems with any payment is it never makes the incentive for young guys ...to keep the industry healthy...


Look at the average age of farmers today...the biggest issue today and was when I was younger is ...why do this ...

The other day when Goodale was handing money out it was for young entrepreneurs .... where is the money for a young guy starting out....oh yeah...he's expected to work off the farm for 20 years....

My kids could spend 30 years living working hard for nothing if history is going to repeat itself...

One big question....why does the government have 40 dollars an acre for irrigation districts for the next 5 years ( and probably longer) ....while having nothing for ranchers or drylands farmers???????

Riverhurst district irrigators will pay a flat $21 per acre each year on acreage from 18,265 to 22,000, while the provincial funding totals $4.2 million.

You guys do the math...its 40 bucks an acre for 5 years or 210 an acre total...I bought land for less than that and had interest costs on that...

Radical. I would think following the money and connecting dots would explain some things.

Friendship patronage and stuff like that.

Does canada have trade issues with China, India, and other major importers?????

If we do and its out of the individual farmers control much like the weather , does the government not have a responsibility to step in???

I buy insurance for the effects of mother nature....where do you buy insurance for the incompetence of government?


Oh ...maybe thats why Kevin Hursch and Dave Marit are promoting a GARS link to agristability....good for Grant Kosior....but why doesn't the government just enhance crop insurance and agristabilty....

Governments are talking about climate change in almost every breath and yet they take agriculture's contributions to reducing the effects of C02 for granted....I think there should be an offsetting payment that could be administered through crop insurance and paid to the aginvest accounts.....

Then the effects of drought and trade can be picked up by an immediate change to agristability....

Not sure how stupid you have to be to see the statistics that agristability isn't working and the ag ministers sit at a table twiddling their thumbs .....

What is worse is the Alberta ag minister worked in Ritz's office while they were ****ing it up....and he can't pinpoint the problem...
