Only caught part of it on the radio but sounded like Bucket's buddy Devin Dreeshen is asking the Feds for farm support and had some meeting about it today so who knows?

That must be a humbling experience....maybe not since his dad got him his job into the political world.
I think its a federal provincial ag minister meeting?Last edited by bucket; Jul 15, 2021, 22:42.

Bibeau used phrases like existing program and 75 million for an 80 percent level.
Phucks sakes we are talking billions in losses here folks...billions with a B.
Air Canada got close to 10 billion including wage subsidies for employees that were not working...
Do you think a passenger drought by a pandemic is different than a drought on the prairies....both are or were out of people's control.
Do you think air Canada is worth more to the economy than agriculture?
And where was the environment concerns with the 10 billion to air Canada or an Olympic average of revenues...or waiting years for a bail out..
Just such bullshit and poor representation from farm groups.Last edited by bucket; Jul 15, 2021, 22:57.

Give crop insurance coverage on 100 percent of your long term yield. And every field should stand alone not contributing to the average. I know this would be an administrative nightmare and have no idea of how that would work
If you were in the hotel business and had 10 hotels and 2 of them burnt to the ground under crop insurance logic you would still have 80 percent left and would get no coverage.

Yea Kevin farms at Cabri yes he has his degree and yes sometimes his comments are fu king stupid.
Here is a comment why do we need a ag recovery program like booboo is telling the provinces today to come up with.
Because crop insurance and Ag stab don’t work.
Their I said it they don’t work.

After 80% crop failures over the last 10 years you learn to not contract any more than your lowest 1 year yield and don’t spend expecting a crop. You do that and you don’t need hand outs to cover contract gambles.
Livestock is much much bigger issue and they definitely need some help this year.
PS) Our crops finally had the right conditions at the start, but we’ve now ran out of swamp moisture and with the heat potential yields are down 50% or more already. We’ve had 3†total of rain this year.
