AGLA Meeting Feb 27.

[Happytrails]

For those who may be interested the Alberta Grazing Leaseholders Assn annual meeting is at the Medicine Hat Lodge tomorrow Feb 27 at 1:00 pm. The AGLA is likely the best advocate to government we leaseholders have. So if you care BE THERE!!

Damm I would love to be there BUT I cant afford the bodyguards I would need. Some of those welfare cowboys can get a little fiesty as I found out when I wrote a rebutal to a colum on how downtroden the leases holders were . I had phone calls and letters from many in and around the welfare capital of southern alta congratulating me on my stand saying the truth needs to be told.and when I asked why more didnt do it I was informed strange things happened to those who oposed lease holders like fires and lost livestock basicaly ostercised from the comunity. I have never seen it rationalized how renting grass on a AUM computes into multi mill$ oil revenue justified.
If any one goes I sure would be interested in a report on the meeting.

Leases change hands all the time Horse, why not step up to the plate and take a swing. You can prove you point how big of a gravy train they are.

[Happytrails]

Good point per. Can you make it tomorrow?

Stand yer ground horse. I for one like an outside the box opinion. Wonder how many of them there leases that come up for sale have the oil revenue gravy attached for nothing.

The worst excuse I hear from the lease holder defenders is the jealousy issue. Can't ya come up with something better than that boys?

Oil money has definately made some lease holders into millionares and it has little to do with management or cattle. Leases are as unique as private property and have almost as much variance in value. Fun to hear the defenders though, and as Horse says, show us yer books. LOL Kinda like asking Cargill I guess.
