I coffee quite a bit with my 84 year old mother....she's usually on top of the news for the day from Trudeau to trump etc...
So we talk about how they farmed and always it is how it wasn't ever this expensive.....grain at the same price while dad's 750 combine in 1976 cost 36000....6000 bushels
The number of bushels to buy a new combine today 70000 bushels wouldn't touch a new one....
And as far as generation farms many of the youngings that talk a market based industry don't ****ing realize their dads didn't send the adhoc or government money back... they kept it and that is what is allowing them to farm today....
**** some people are stupid....
So while some say a pulse tariff or Trumps new trade agenda don't need a Canadian government payment to western Canada. ....go ask your dads the difference an adhoc payment made in the 70s or 80s...and then start doing the math on a bushel of grain from the 70s to now....maybe then some people will realize how they are being ripped off....
The Richardsons , paterson, heimbeckers and others enjoy their resorts for a reason,,,,
Any word on how the Westons got away with a few billion dollars in collusion and price fixing....because no one said anything....there is where the ad hoc payment should be coming from...instead the government helps P&H build a flour mill....
