    Last I heard the cattle farts could possibly be fuelling the forest fires.

      An environmental assessment is sometimes required to get some of this free cash. Most programs come with strings attached and it's gonna get worse. All depends on how much paper you like to push and most older guys say screw it. Big corps have bean counters and lawyers on retainer to look after those things.

        Been involved with trying to get grants and loans for other things than AG and they too have lots of strings and hoops to get through. Not so sure just writing checks with no questions is the answer either didn't turn out that great for CERB lots of people complaining about that when it was up to us to decide if we needed/wanted it.

          There you go.

          Any support to the disappearing cattle industry without a stack of paperwork and many months to years lag time is equivalent to CERB.

            I was comparing the paper work or lack of only.

                  Not gonna lie to you guys.. and its definitely more location specific than down south... but the largest farms up in our neck of the woods and definitely are the ones jacking up some.rents are the cattle guys. Theyve created half this problem for themselves. Have more cattle.. need more land.. go to neighbour who has been renting to family friends and offer them 25% more to grow silage barley 2 outta 3 yrs..

                  Again
                  Location specific.
                  I really really dont have any pity on the local " ranchers" who drive around in new pickups with an F turdeau flag but now bitch and complain and want a handout.

                  You guys down south that have been getting pummelled by drought on the other hand. I do wish we could send some our rain your way. I really really do.
                  Nothing is more disheartening to the nostalgia created by a good crop...than to stare at the skys praying for rain and watching everything wither around you.

                      It’s not just drought it’s crapy prices, 3 good years out of 25 don’t cut it, I sold a hundred yearlings last week and it’s the biggest cheque I’ve ever had but it’s not big enough when you look at the price of everything else. I can think of a lot better ways to make minimum wage than having cows.
