    Sobering thought on seeding …

    Roughly thought about how many dollars per hour we are spending as drills are going .
    Add that across western Canada this past week .
    Tens of millions of $ going into the soil every hour in hopes of getting rain to get a crop .
    Then think about how many of tens of thousands of jobs that are being supported by the time and money we all are putting in ground .

          interesting comment furrow.

          Funny how our farm groups don't make mention of those facts when Stellantis and VW manage to pull billions out of taxpayer's pockets for white elephant projects

                  It’s most definitely one of the biggest mega projects going on in the country. Huge job creation and economic benefits for the whole population. Brings billions into the the country from other countries.
                  Sad part is most of the population don’t see or have any idea it’s even going on and we have a Federal government that would like to destroy it!

                    It generally takes money to make money, and often without a guarantee.

                    The malt you grow forms part of the beer sitting in the air conditioner stream by the tractor seat. Pretty soon I forget your sobering thoughts.

                    Thank an inventor for GPS.
