    Good luck grassfarmer.

    Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.
    Robert F. Kennedy,

      Bruce14, I do not have the finished document yet that will be presented to the Minister. I will share the highlights with you once I receive it - hopefully it will provoke some thoughtful dialogue on Agriville and not NFU bashing because their ideas are "wrong". It is clear that our problems are many and varied as will be the solutions - no-one knows it all or has the perfect solution. We are trying to ensure that producers concerns are not swept under the carpet as the crisis grinds on through yet another winter while farmers sons leave the land to work in the oil patch.

        You are doing this at an opportune time grassfarmer, as you are meeting with a new minister, who, from what I understand, is a very bright fellow.

          grassfarmer, just one more comment. We in Alberta are fortunate in that farmers and their sons can find off farm work in the oil industry if necessary, particularly now with the 'patch' booming the way it is. Other provinces aren't as fortunate.

            Heard about the rally this AM on the 6:00 news on CFCW. Good news item and excellent interview with one of the organizers. Positive comments about the Ag Minister which will likely help the cause significantly.
            Hats off grassfarmer to you and your group. Hope it gets good support across the province. Any chance you can get an interview on Caitlynn Ressors Alberta at Noon on CFCW tomorrow ? All you need to do is call CFCW in Camrose and ask to speak to Caitlynn or be put through to her voice mail. The number is 679-0790.

              Emrald1, I'm not involved with the media side of it but I believe there will be an interview with the person you mentioned.
