    Supply chains breaking down!!!

    China banning fertilizer sales…

    Wow what a time to be a farmer!

    Cheers
    Hmmmmm, if there wasn't a union there wouldn't be a strike. If one hates the job that much, quit! There are many opportunities to those that want to work, imo

        Hasn't been any green paint on our farm for 50 years. Strike on, they will just raise the price of that green iron.

                750,000 for a Deere combine at the retail dealer seems more than reasonable !
                That was funny.

                Like, the tone you said it in was really funny.

                            We start this whole shit show and take what they give us. Finally getting paid and all the other vultures steal it out of our pockets before it gets to the bank.

                                        That’s why the whole project unraveled. They had support until religion came into the equation.
