    You must not realize how well we are off.

    As farmers many of us have millions in asetts. Its a challenge to farm to be sure. But most of will retire with more than decent savings.

    So why all the complaining about bad it is?
    Why does wealth need to be shared ??
    I get it to a point , but why should someone who works intensively and has built wealth over decades share with someone who is a lazy and only feels the need to work 4 days a week and demands health care , dental, and all the government benefits while the other gets zero , creates wealth, and works nearly every day of the year ???
    it’s absurd your assumption

        So you are fine with the billionaires controlling all the wealth and running the government like in the USA?

        We can do a better job of sharing the pie without taking away the incentive to get a good education and work hard.

        Grain farmers who take off many months a year during winter shouldn't lecturing the working people who get 3-4 weeks!

          Your obviously not a grain farmer with a stupid statement like that, grain does not magically get hauled to elevators, all machinery fixes its self over winter, no one plows our snow, Yes instead of working 18 hour days for months it may only be 6 to 8 hour days like most for a few months
          Carney controlling a lot more wealth than you will admit but most know

            Most grain farmers without an off farm job have a lot of time off in the winter even with all the work that goes on.

            So don't bullshit us about the reality on many straight grain farms.

            Sask Farmer is drinking daily cocktails in his Florida holiday home much of the winter! He is so busy he has time to share his drink recipes on Agrisilly and write a long blog about farming and politics!

            Are you sure he puts in a 6 hour work day too?

                So Sask farmer is not a real farmer? Kinda seems that way!

                Got your southern winter holiday booked?

                Furrow, you better not take anytime off Furrow in January and February when the machinery is mostly outside and nobody ships much grain if they don't have too.

                Do you have to blow snow every day with your "alpine" weather?

                      So you guys seem to have no good comeback!

                      How many times have some of the usual suspects posted their winter holiday photos on Agrisilly and then claim they don't get much time off in the winter?

                      Gotta blow snow and ship grain every day! LOL

                      Farmers get way more free time in the off season than most working people plus have way more assets and wealth.
