Are any farm organizations lobbying for the return to the original ag stability formula?

I was told this morning that lobbying government is not some farm group's mandate....seriously...I kid you not....

We re so brainwashed into thinking our issue
Is only the oil industry so until we get our head out of our own asses and think it won’t change
Giving out vote for nothing means we get guess what? NOTHING we didn’t gain or lose a dam thing this last election.

Must be some powerful shit your smoking tonight. The hallucinations are incredible - fantasy land where people give rats ass about Ag.

From what I'm seeing no one cares at all about farmers and the harvest from hell. All I know is im over crap insurance coverage and Ag stab will pay next summer from now but once I harvest in spring ill have to pay it all back.

Any coverage would be nice but.

They don't care

AgriRecovery should be what’s used to match the USA farmer MFP 1,2,3 ?

($1.60 / bushel canola payment is fairly close equivalent to what they are receiving south of border due to the trade war.)

Every time the USA adds a subsidy the price of canola drops by that amount. Yep were down over 1.60 but again not one politician cares.

For those that support Ritz's version of an open market which is as imaginary as unicorns....

You can not price your grain off a subsidized US market....you are using your farms equity to compete against the US treasury. ...

It's not sustainable....

If there were any kind of ag support I believe it would be through the agstab program. Problem is myself and countless others have quit agstab in the time since they gutted the program , so if it were to be amended it would be a bit late to help. Would guess the participation rate would be below 50%. Would likely rejoin is formula went back to first version but would be too late for this falls mess.
