NFU and commodify marketing

[SASKFARMER]

The BS from the Mega to Small is BS. It doesn't matter if you have one super B or 20 come on that is BS.

The biggest problem Canada was no checks and balance after the CWB was done.

We need the info now so you can backtrack it to Rural sask for a price.

CWB, Not anymore.

Only regret was the lack of checks and balances put in place before it was dismantled.

I honestly think the tought of just getting rid of it made those in power and their cohorts so giddy and intoxicated with excitement they forgot to pay attention to the details.

I agree and think it should have been fixed not dismantled, but water under the bridge. Just another nail in the coffen of small farmers just making a living doing what they love. Shes all mega corperate farms and huts in a few yrs.IMHO

If that is true why are the 5000-acre farms the most profitable? Why are mom and dad and son farms still thriving? Come on yes we have mega farms I have seen lots come and go and come and go. Investors get tired and pull the plug sooner or later.

In our area, the farms doing great are smaller to med size farms. Must be the water in your area.

Where can I get that?

With the amount of delivery options I have I consider myself lucky but that price seems pretty lofty compared to here.

I have #1CWRS average Px about 14.2. Heavy like lead. FN very high. etc etc etc.....

No Mega to BTO is not BS. I have sat at merchant's trying to talk and they looked right past me at BTO and Hutts that just walked in ignoring me and waving at them even getting up to go talk. Other way around they don't even glance.

Also have watched many quality assessments been up graded by # of tonnes they will get on next sale of different commodity.

Regardless of NFU policy the CWB is not coming back anytime soon.

Its just good to see that since the CWB was taken away that farmers have no marketing or transportation issues to complain about! LOL

What's interesting though is the Conservatives and the majority of farmers still support compulsory marketing boards for poultry and dairy products.

Considering marketing freedom was the rally cry of the anti CWB folks there seems to be no similar concern about dairy and poultry.

If the border was open and supply management marketing boards disappeared, imports would shut down a lot of Canadian farms and the dairy industry would be thrown into chaos.

I laugh at the comment they left you in the office and ran to the hutts.

Yes we do a average of all the crop some years it’s a one across the board some years a two and some feed or three.

This is total BS large vs small it’s a NFU dream of life in the Socialist world.

How come med make more money?

Big is just turning money and making investors happy.

That's kinda sad.

Think it was 60% of estimated final...$4.50

But the volume thing is alive and well, everyone gets a different price on inputs. Or rebates, volume is KING.

MNP says 2500 acres most profitable. Any bigger and machinery multiples hurt till 10,000 acres.
