    We are under attack and our guys are worried about grain drying costs from two years ago.

    Come on People kind wake up.

    Canola still on a tear but not like Soy today up .45 cents so far.
    The worst part is...it is no different than getting a GST refund...the 100 million is not new money.

    But the conservatives call it a win...FFS

      Here is some fun info I believe the highest price ever for Canola was 1085.52 a Ton in November of 1975.

      Let that sink in what could a canola farmer like us have bought in 1975 with that kind of money.

      That was when money bought things not like now.

      Larry am I right with that amount of off a bit.

            I'm finding this thread funny as hell... almost everyone, bitching and moaning about what is about to happen to ag, what the Federal Liberals are about to do to us out west...

            Quit bitching and stewing and do something about it.

            Western Canada needs to leave this abusive relationship and the sooner the better.. anyone who thinks the Conservatives under O'Foole will be any different, is dreaming or hoping for a gov't appointment.

            The time is Now for Western Canada to start the process of getting out from under Eastern Canadian domination.

            Support The Maverick Party.

              You are right and it isn't funny at all. But the problem is the Maverick isn't ready for big-time with a leader or anything.

              Otool will have one try to win if he loses the west will leave it will happen and someone will step up to be a leader and understand how to go about leaving.,

                I remember that, problem was no shipping , plugged elevators and crop was all tough heating everywhere. Many suicides that year and few got rich.

                  Dad had a dryer way back then and he worked like a dog on that crop. I broke my hand that fall and was mostly in the way and couldn't help.

                  It was a rough patch but in 4 short years, things changed so much. We bought a new 4 wheel drive then went back and got a small 2 wheel drive and in fall a combine arrived and if I remember right not much was borrowed against all that equipment.

                  So yea that was good times. Then a Trudeau and high interest and everything went for a shit.

                      We’ll never see high interest rates like that again. We were lucky that our first section was pegged at 7% for 28 years. We felt fortunate for that. Ontario farmer here with 21/2 sections was not so lucky.
