Cott - Hyde is out Ha! Ha! Pars, your metaphor with
the kid doesn't stick. One, a 9 year old kid should
already be doing that kind of stuff around the farm
- responsibility at an early age. Two, what kind of
parent hasn't bought his kid a bike by age nine,
geeez? Fast forward - every industry and business
has its' abusive element - not unique to farming.
What is missing in all of these discussions is the
unexplainable spread between what consumers pay
at the till for food and other products, and what the
primary producer receives out of the basket. That
includes export product as well. And, the more
efficient the farmer becomes, the less he is
rewarded. There is something wrong with that
picture! Hey Cott, don't piss in the Russian's corn
flakes, at one time they were our biggest buyer of
wheat and helped run up prices, particularly in the
70's. Never burn your bridges.
