Maybe what farmers need is....

[bucket]

A 15 year old girl to do a world wide protest of the value farmers play in environmental efforts....to counter the Greta phenomena. ..

To talk about the value of no till farming and the reduction in hours on machinery ....because a tractor at rest doesn't pollute. ...

Because the current lobby effort by farm groups and conservative politicians isn't working.....

[Herc]

All we need is one if then big red buttons that says “reset”. And someone with the balls to push it......

The Bullshit is getting very old the past couple years. Lots of large and successful farms talking pulling the pin. Not because they have to but because they are not enjoying what Ag has become.

In canada it was created by lobbyists of Gerry Ritz for a gutting of farm programs instead of enhancing them to bring another generation into the industry successfully...


The current Alberta Ag minister was the lark in Gerry Ritz's office making the changes to policy that consolidated farms...so this is where we are at...

Big farms , investor farms ,will all need help eventually.

The canary in the coal mine was when smaller consistent acreage farms started to see the impact of higher inputs and higher machinery costs...and it had started eroding their equity and their net revenues... and the programs were not infilling their losses....the lobbyists through the guys like Dreeshen seen an opening to buy out some smaller farms instead of heeding the warnings...

They were not prepared to waste equity to stay in business ....and that's probably what is going on with larger farmers ...they have equity and enough to live comfortably ....buying more means more work not necessarily more money...

Bottom line ....the problems we have today started long before the liberals were in office.... the conservatives can't accept their part in it...so they chase the carbon tax as an excuse...it riles up the base...

I will start another thread.....but the carbon tax on grain drying isn't the issue in farming and its a shitty way to try to change the liberals mind....the problems would still be there with a normal harvest more so because a normal harvest would have dropped grain prices as well....

Boys, you are producing a raw commodity.
Over time, there is only one left standing

Thats a bullshit statement ...

So the answer is to try the Russian experience in agriculture....one owner ( the state) and a bunch of transient drunken workers....

Even the Russians gave that up...for a more prosperous future from the agricultural wealth to the economy...

Your statement indicates you believe Russia is still a customer of our grain....it isn't ....they are competing with us and they realize the value of agriculture to the economy...


Its really too bad Canadians didn't understand this.
