So many issues and who do we have to speak
Our concerns? Fertilizer gong show, parts shortages
Crop insurance not working for some, carbon money
For sequestering, etc etc. All I see is big industry
The companies with the biggest bank account
Manipulating all of us. Even cargil not paying seems
Simple but holy fk any of us be late with a payment
And fk need a lawyer just about.

And what MP MLA or crop group is bringing attention
To these issues?

No one.

CFIB
The next year could be very interesting with the liberal gong show. The ag minister is going to be getting extreme pressure from both sides. Iâ€™d be surprised if she doesnâ€™t quit.

How can anyone speak for such a divided group .Everyone is only interested in their own commodity,the dairy ,the chicken the seed growers the beef.the BTOs only want cheap rent low imput,
Any one with an eye and an Ahole can see the problems but a good many are self inflected,a lot by greed.
Now does anyone have a solution that most producers would agree with ??? Rember that the consumer has to be happy also,and there are a hell of a lot more of them than us!!!

Thatâ€™s correct on some issues but on some like
Price fixing of inputs, supply chain problems,
Fuel prices, carbon pricing, etc I donâ€™t think there
Should be too much division as to addressing
These? And even if an immediate solution
Isnâ€™t there bringing to light the issues is at least
The first step.

The only issue is a few board table members who got caught short on a contract and now have to maybe mortgage their inherited farm. Thats the driving issue right now.

That and finding containers for fat boy. The companies stuffing containers don't pay a checkoff to any commission, and with the WEGA saying its not our grain once the slides open, the container shortage sounds like its their problem, not mine.

No one is addressing input pricing.

We have retails that have farmers running them, that didn't expect or get the memo on the increases , or like I have been told, they would have loaded up.

Everyone has heard the story of retails were promised Liberty would only have a 3 percent increase and now its a 25 percent increase. Some wanted to order extra stock in back in August , couldn't get it because there might have been some used for desiccating. Now looking at major increases , they couldn't lock in the August or earlier price.

Shit will hit the fan when major retailers have customers having a tough time getting 2021 inputs paid for.

Watch for the reactive nonsense then.

Not one group can proactively represent farmers. And these are farmers. They know what's coming. I guess they still see opportunity to buy out the neighbour by doing SFA.

Good thing there's no Wuhan flu in Glasgow. Or he might catch something in this friendly bunch.
