    Agrium/PCS

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/potash-agrium-merger-report-1.3741113

    Wondered why Agrium shares were 'halted' status this morning....This is getting crazy already. Who is going to be left? Are we actually going to be able to farm in the future? I dont know anymore....

      Hooray.....why do we need retailers?

      We buy and store early on inputs.

      Large amounts why not deal direct.

      Sarcasm.....this won't be good.


      Where is Bradley about strategic resource?

          Bayer has monopoly on seed and Agrium a monopoly on fertilizer. Everybody is happy. Handwriting on the wall for Canadian farmers.

              Are you saying there won't be $85,000 dollar Escalades driving around with farm plates anymore? Goodness, what are we going to do.

                  "Farm plates" are no longer a visually distinguishable feature of a farm registered vehicle......in Sask anyway.

                  Imagine....****en peasants driving Escalades!!!!!

                              Who will need farmers, caseih one step closer to the driverless tractor. Will just need to hire a few guys on minimum wage to watch over the fleet as they move from field to field:
