Small business can't survive a sales drop..?

[Misterjade9]

Really how about a price drop in their product ....

All these small businesses that bitch about supporting farmers are sure putting their hand out and looking for their business to be made whole for employees and income....


I have been told on here that we are in an open and free market and only the strong survive....


Interesting how things change...

More than likely our checkoff groups will see support for staff because of this corvid 19....while farmers get SFA....

Not a word about agriculture in all the funding announcements...

One industry that's going to be spending in Canada revitalizing the economy...agriculture ...not a penny....or a mention...


I say we self isolate and not seed a crop....my taxes go to support people spending money out of country on holidays and helping them get home. ...bullshit. ...

That is not correct, Trudeau's exact words this morning were " for primary agriculture producers we will boost Farm Credit Canada".

Giving employers a 10% wage subsidy payment so they will be able to keep employees working but if you are a farmer go get another loan.

$82 billion in subsidies buys a lot of votes in Toronto, Montreal and Maritimes but leaves the rest of us with a lot of debt.

If they lend it to you in the first place. Fcc is a joke lender for a small farm with new ideas.

Or a farmer who came to the game late and didn't fall into their target demographics. Was told once by a FCC representative that I was "painted with a certain brush".

Who knows. it is just lip service anyways.

Was the target demographic the farming is easy- just need to upgrade technology 'agvocate' types that have a lot of previous generation equity blowing on their sails?

Would farmers rather get the 10% wage subsidy so you can keep employees? Lots of small businesses are ran by husband and wives or with kids and don't qualify for the 10% or EI. I know small business owners that would gladly trade to have access to $100,000.00 interest free loan right now.

Sounds like most here been inside too long. Comparing Western Canadian farms to other Canadian small businesses has always been ridiculous for various reasons.
An awful lot of people are going to hurt real bad real soon. How many here rely on outside child care in order to work a mediocre salaried job for instance?? As of this week you can't work for one reason or another.
Life savings in a restaurant? Too bad!
This is really going to effect the lower half of our society. Immediately.
An acre will always be seeded by somebody. You selfish Hicks think it's always going to be you??
You want to prop up $5000/ac land so your son can lead a charmed life??
