2004 CAIS Payments

From what i've heard it's a no, accountants are still busy sorting out 2003 claims as not everyone has got paid on them yet and some that have are appealing them. Haven't really thought too much about 2004 program yet as I don't want the income this year.

I put a rush on my 2004 & got my cheque last week $7500 My advise is not to let the accountant handle everything for you. When my accountant and I did my 2003 & he either didn't mail it or it got lost in the mail. Thankfully CAIS let me submit it late. CAIS can figured out you just have to be persistant, thats why the modern successful farmer is a Farm Manager not only a Farmer.

Without the Forward contracting, Crop Insurance, Log haul, & CAIS my farm would not have survived last year.

Ponder this:
If the CGC graded your wheat a No.3,
would you haul to the terminal that gave you a 3?
Or to the terminal that legally gave you consistent 2s, without sticking you somewhere else.
I view all bean counting the same way.
