    Who really represents us farmers?

    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?

      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. I’d be surprised if she doesn’t quit.

        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!!!

              That’s correct on some issues but on some like
              Price fixing of inputs, supply chain problems,
              Fuel prices, carbon pricing, etc I don’t think there
              Should be too much division as to addressing
              These? And even if an immediate solution
              Isn’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.

                      Some where along the way farmers have lost their way. Many are about me myself and I. The sense of working for the common good has been lost. Perhaps it is the ever decreasing numbers or the infection of extreme feelings of freedom only being obtained by ignoring the whole group. How could anyone represent such a diverse group.

                        Honest question, is Europe filled with smug jerkoffs? I mean these retards are in the middle of an energy shortage now importing raw timber to burn from Ukraine and talking about getting off oil and gas. They have shut in fertilizer production because its too expensive. I mean whats next - famine?

                        If this is our representation, I would rather be ignored.

                        Suggestion for wheel and others. Dont look somewhere else for solutions especially our politicians. Is gouging happening, probably. And not a thing we can do about it.

                        If you think this is gouging now, wait until Liberals get into the regulation of this industry. You will think a 25% increase in Liberty is heaven compared to that.

                          Hell will freeze over before you satisfy the perennial complainers on this site who don't realize how lucky they are to be farming and living in Canada.

                            Some like Jwab are living in their own hell called ignorance and don't even know it.

                              It seems like there are a lot of very unhappy and unsatisfied with their life types on Agriville that are in a permanent hyper state of agitation and discontent about many things. Perhaps the stress of farming is getting to them?
