S.... That was quite a rant!

Only problem is... who that matters... better yet who that can or could do anything about it CARES. Seems like starving polite people are far behind those with nukes, guns and the blackmailing suicide folks.

Hope you feel better... YET small business is much worse off than farmers... because often they depend on us doing well to start the local prosperity chain going!

It is interesting that black oil is $80/bbl... reality seems gov decided that part of the prosperity chain is required to keep the financial system operational!

As the old saying goes... don't confuse the facts with the truth!

GRIN <(>:{

We are still better off that well over 90% of the rest of the world!

[SASKFARMER3]

SK is right on one thing Tom. Every farmer out their with crop out should in no way ever believe that crop insurance or CASIP will help them with this latest disaster. These programs fail miserably two year ago bumper wipes out frost of 02 margins still good on our farm payout will be sweet f___ all. Also when the hell will the powers that be realize that the Chinese are comunists who don't give a rip about their workers, and india more of their poor die in one day than all the people who will get swine flew in canada (H1N1). The biggest purchacers in the world don't care about their own so how do you negotiate with terrorist and ones with no moral concience. We should all Quit buying their cheap shit and get back to canadian and american made.

[skhadenuf]

Small business worse off? NO! If we're economically in the shitter they are in the shitter if we're okey they are okey that's all.
My rant is about 2 political parties that bullshitted us about how bad the liberal and NDP agricultural policy was and that agriculture could not continue as it was and on and on and on, and how they would be prepared for a disaster. They are fu%%%%% bullshitters that got us believing they would end the CWB end CAIS, get rid of property tax be prepared for weather disasters, clean up crop insurance etc. Hell they couldn't even end the gun control thing in spite of spending millions investigating what to do, H1N1 surprise surprise it's here where the hell is the vaccine no good after our kids are dead, but hell maybe we'll make a joke about those that die from it seems like that's how you get a cabinet post these days isn't it. Wall to wall incompetence.

[bucket]

CAIS can't cut in until at least 2010 for most producers. Which technically means 2011 because it is based on filing your income tax. The bad year won't be until 2010 for the bad income because its the 2009 crop that makes that bad income.

Interesting that none of the rocket scientists at our farm groups didn't ask " ... why didn't the auto companies have to give them a five year average of net incomes and then wait two years for a payout...". That's the way you get people pst at you and then it seems governments/people start to listen.

But I have to ask where is APAS and the NFU on this file?

[parsley]

APAS is simply a municipal tax on farmers.

[sumdumguy]

Good Question- Sure don't here "boo" from APAS. Bet they still collect their big fat levy.

As for CAIS- You can apply for your 2009 interim payment. The problem with that is if you don't qualify for a payment later when you fill in your forms after April, then you'll have to pay it back.
