The tipping point tom this is another Tax on Farmers. We can't afford this.

Russia and Ukraine and South America are kicking our ass.

More taxes gets us closer to RB auction and done.

**** I hope farmers arent this stupid and believe all the bullshit.

ITS a tax and they will do to Cereals what happened to Canola.

Lots of fancy brochures and the same shit we grew 30 years ago.

Bullshit Seed TAx.

So the people that are really profiting from this are the railways with higher volumes of grain to move and graincos with better volumes and quality????


But lets say this current rain event takes the new improved varieties to feed status this year...

where is the ROI to farmers????making it up on volume? with slow start this year that got this crop to a september rain downgrade....

I find it odd that every time something better supposedly comes along so does consolidation...

If there is more volume why not keep elevator open and invest in those facilities for the higher volume...nope they close them... higher volumes in this area should have justified the 10000 tonne Eyebrow elevator for an upgrade...they mothballed it...as I drove to Moose Jaw yesterday down highway 42 looking at the rail tracks 120 feet parallel to the highway...45 miles extra to haul grain...

How is other countries out pacing us in varieties?

Higher yielding - haven't seen any comparisons under SAME growing conditions.

Better quality - haven't seen any milling or baking comparisons.

Better price - we price ours into the same market that would be a market or marketer issue not a quality issue.

What is worse is the Eyebrow elevator will sit idle...wont be sold...it should be a forced sale on a competition ruling but no one gives a shit...Viterra has all the facilities on the line that runs from Moose Jaw to Gardiner Dam terminal near Loreburn...

Local farmers are more than happy to purchase bins , semis , fuel, tires and time to move their grain further...They think of it as a feather in their cap...

Where do you think they got their genetics from????

It only takes 5 to 10 containers of specific grain purchased by a country to get that seed...

It doesn't all go for processing...

How is other countries out pacing us?

Cheaper input costs. 3rd world wages, no carbon tax, no social programs to pay for, and lower transport costs because they have invested in infrastructure.

Got nothing to do with variety and yield.

Deregister and rename. ....that's the scam.....

Its nearly election time. Perfect opportunity to pin down political leaders on the issue. Ask them where they stand on the tax and hold their feet to the fire if the get elected. Ya, I know, it's a bit like squeezing a greased pig but it might be worth a try

A local colony was bragging about selling maxim lentils to a coop it the states for big bucks. Just shipped them as bin run I wonder 12 years later if they think it was a good idea now lentils at $.16 per pound
