I take mine out every year and reinvest it. Lots are using it as a retirement fund and it is backfiring if you leave it there the gov wont think farmers need any help. Its not Agri-retire

[blackpowder]

As long as I'm paying interest on debt I'll be cashing out the Agrinvest.

BOBOO did she ask every Canadian in Toronto Montreal Ottawa to use there saving accounts or TFSA to get the Fed Money. The answer is NO.

The simple answer is this is a total kick at Canadian Farmers by the most usless gov in Canadian History.

Why worry everyone....while sitting in the tractor or sprayer cab which I find to be a prison lately .....I hear the DO MORE AG ads on the radio then I go to weather band and listen to the french version of the local conditions...

90 percent of the time when I turn to the weather I catch the french version...then I start daydreaming and miss the english version...

Totally tuned out...

Do more ag ...being an agvocate....and ag more than ever.....are definitely helping farmers....sarcasm...

The general public worries about their debt with job losses and Trudeau moved quickly...


Farmers with issues in trade , poor 2019 harvest and the federal government ignored the problem and so did the farm groups ...they have no voice or influence..federally or provincially...

Maybe you haven't noticed the billions handed out to the general population...

Students were afforded 9 billion...when in history was there ever a 9 billion dollar ad hoc to farmers....

Million dollar farms that operate on the smallest/slimest of margins and drive the economy....students with maybe 50 thousand in debt are being paid to watch Netflix....

Perspective helps once in a while...

Then look at the 250 billion Trudeau has spent.....farmers haven't seen 1 percent of that money for the one in 8 jobs ag related in this country....

I feel like I am going to be flamed but I almost can’t blame the government for thinking this way. I mean put yourself in their shoes. We’ve given away a chunk of money for free and farmers are letting it sit in a 2% interest account doing nothing. Assuming they are rational means they aren’t paying more than 2% on any other debt. How much trouble can they really be in?

[Misterjade9]

Here is the 2 Billion dollar question. How much of the money held in the agrinvest accounts are hheld by retired farmers who still get their rent as a grain ticket so that they can maintain an active farmer status, hence they have net eligible sales and quality for agrinvest.

[SASKFARMER]

Oh oh oh I can answer it.


Young are so fat in debt they will never see daylight.

They use there’s every year if they have enough for the match.

Middle years use it to pay down debt and move it.

Later in life it’s for retirement cash.

Now again let this sink in the feds gave actors more money than the total Ag got times three.

Yea we have no right to say Boboo is one stupid count.
