Sask party kicks ranchers in the balls.

$350M to residential school survivors.

Yes I read that headline and ignored it...

I will stay away from that issue...not knowledgeable enough on it and it's not in my wheelhouse to express an opinion.

I wonder if all sask livestock producers get equal amounts.or will crop insurance use its rainfall data to pro rate depending on amount of rain you got,? If you have your own grain and hay the cost of keeping the breeding stock is still sky high cause your feed is still valued at market price.

It's coming under the Agrirecovery program.
I think they announced that money about 3 times now.

Lets be clear here.

The Ag Minister in saskatchewan is a phucking retard.

The federal ag Minister has lower mental capacity than the guy mentioned above.

Let me give you an example. AGT and Fairfax were given in excess of 100 million to fix the rail line to churchill. They have since disposed of it to some bands and held on to the operational part of it. A few days ago Jimmy Carr announced another 40 million to continue to fix it. Omnitrax had the fix pegged at about 30 million when they relinquished it.
So someone has pocketed alot of money.

Meanwhile to close this example all the ranchers in Saskatchewan received less than than that.

If you look at the money thrown out in the last few weeks by Trudeau and his gang it coming in at close to 20 billion...

And they can't make decision to help feed cattle in this country in less than a month of it becoming newsworthy.

None of the other announcements will starve an animal if announced at a later date.

It's important to remember this when you speak to your MLA or MP as a representative of farmers..

Its just so disappointing to see farm reps saying thank you to a bunch of phucking morons. It makes them look stupid as well. It's like they don't ranch or understand how little this is.

I think I’m ok for feed and I’m not big on bailouts, but I guess cows are the only species that need feeding then?

All animals qualify.

All animals qualify.

My bad. I see that now.

How much $ is enough for cattle producers to get through this winter? I was a producer during BSE and got screwed twice. The first time our 200 calves were at the sale ring the day that BSE was announced and they sold for $100 each, the auction would not stop the sale. The 2nd time is when we sold the 200 cows 3 years later for $200 each when our hayfields and pastures were under water with the flood of the century. The government programs said we would get help in their programs but because we had grain income we didn’t drop low enough for any assistance. Many cattle producers were stabbed in the back by these programs and realized that they were never in the governments front of mind. Cattle is a swear word on our farm now.

When BSE hit I also got froze out that fall.thought for sure agstability would kick in but no.They changed breeding stock values from inventory to capital asset so the drop in value was not counted as a loss in inventory.basically had to sell every calf and cull cows for a few years after that.probably that year took 3 or 4 to recover from.I dropped agstability a few years ago.does not work when a person spreads out risk through a diverse farm.
