Why Aren’t more rms declaring ag disaster?

[bucket]

Maybe because its not actually a disaster. What is it like 90 some % harvested!

The usual Agriville whiny little *******. Did you really think it was going to be a dry bumper crop every year? Pull your head out of your ass already, Jesus H, you're an embarrassment to real farmers.

Yup there is tremendous opportunity out there Tweety ....there will be good deals on Land and equipment....

And grain prices will stay steady at current levels so with more land and production and bigger operations the agriculture industry of primary production will be in better shape next year...

Its all good...no sarcasm just facts....Consolidation is good just ask Neil Townsend....

But when all the big operations need a little help ....I hope there is the same sentiment as there is today....

You talking like this just because it isn't your area? What goes around comes around....actually I guess when you are not even a farmer and just like to troll sites you can talk like a tough guy.

well probably can't do it in real life
yea we had a pretty good fall here and done early , but i really feel for the ones that had shit dumped on them , because i know what it is like, only too well
unless you have lived it you could never fully understand and that one certainly doesn't

My take is that the farmers who are loudest or heard the most are the guys paying 2000 bucks for land. For them, everything is rosy and the average guy is not heard. There is such a variance among we farmers that it is unbelievable. On one hand you have guys going nuts, buying iron, renting more, growing daily, seemingly doing great. Then you have those who are having a real struggle.

Kinda makes it tough to get on the same page.

Soon all that will be there, is a few 30000 acre farms per RM. The worst is that we are enabling it by not changing our ways very much.

Just say no to outrageous canola seed prices, bring back a bit of fallow, screw high rent expectations, lower the inputs to reduce supply, stop panicking that the quarter next door has to be yours no matter the cost.

We could collectively change things. But we won’t. In the meantime, the arrogant everything is just fine farmers are the ones that seem to be listened to. I don’t see gooberment stepping up as long as binyards that look like mini terminals keep popping up. As long as farm shops that rival Canadian tire stores keep getting built. Hard to see this happening yet ask for more funding. Not saying it isn’t needed, just saying it is hard to look around at the amazing building up of farms, and say things are so bad.

I think it is in our hands. But only a few per cent of us will work towards changing how we farm which is a crying shame. The brick wall is looming close. I think even the lalalalalalalala farmers who seem to have rose colored spectacles will be shocked when they arrive at the wall...

Sheep, you absolutely nailed it for 90% of farms. There will be ones that experienced unique circumstances and those i do feel for. But as you stated, choosing to invest in high priced land, equipment and personal spending is our own. The world was never going to end for some, let this be a reminder you need to keep your farm metrics in check for years like this.

Worry when you go to farm shows and see a parking lot of 15 year old rusted out half tonnes instead of nothing less then a couple year old $100,000 diesels and Escalades. Platinum edition, yes please.

Maybe Agrville just has an exceptionally high ratio of overspending farm managers who whine like little rich spoiled school girls. At least you have found each other.

That's the way you gauge the issues for farmers....

How simple are you?????

Lots of layoffs coming in your line of work too because things are so good in farming right now

If we all are a bunch of whiny losers why do you come on this site? I enjoyed reading it a lot more when you disappeared for a few months.

Tweety did you fall on your head again.

Your comments show how really out of touch you are.

When at the Apas convention 43% of the attending farmers still have some bit of crop out.

Alberta has issues huge issues and Manitoba also has some crop out.

Sask is so full of shit with 7% left its not even funny.

You're the problem with Ag.

[Guest]

If Sask is 75% done , i would be amazed
Crop out nearly everywhere
