So Mrs. Nerd, Give you an example of agri-in-stability.
There is a guy near here some years back near broke as can be, had some alfalfa acres and was in bees did not make alot but had more bees than needed could not afford to seed all acres to crop so seeded more alfalfa. The way it worked out some of those recent years alfalfa and the bees went terrrific for him. By anyone I know he's the only guy with a decent margin in the area. His fields were too old and bee prices went to crap so he took almost all acres out. So now he's laughing at the guys that laughed at him, hell he was laughing at himself when he went into it that big. But now he couldn't seed an acre of crop and is out of crop insurance, going to get and this is calculated by his nerd accountant, over 600,000 to sit on his ass (backside). And fully intends to ride the margin he had from the alfalfa, hoping he cannot seed for the next 4 years. The point is this, the weather worked for that crop, he was no brilliant manager, so is it right now for him to be an idiot and free ride the next 4 years. NO but he program will let him and countless others that got lucky, weatherwise.
At the start of the year did you know what the best crop to seed was? All the best market managers Oh no don't seed canary, lentils, flax no way too much and cannot get rid of it. Look at what has happenned that's what we all should have seeded. The point is that program is being run under the myth that it's management as the factor and if you don't have a margin poor manager, well it's a factor but no where near what the weather dictates. Those people with margins better be aware that the margins follow the good weather if you are into crap for the next 3 or 4 years your eventually into what many of us are into, and when you have an additional loss look out.
I noticed how you purposefully excluded livestock from anyone that has a margin. This program is one of the biggest factors as to why so many have left that industry. It used to be and should be that a mixed farm be more stable but because assistance was based on a complete unit as apposed to splitting livestock from grain no assistance basically at all to anyone with a mixed farm. That's totally bullshit and a major step backwards.
So the term agristability is anything but stability. It should be called the Expensively Administered Moving Weather Lottery program.
The grain sector is heading directly to where the cattle sector is, and this program is perpetuating it.
but that is the goal of the Conservative government because all they are about is total control by those that buy them off.
I respect your comments on the cwb issue. I do understand but not agree on some levels the reason why the wheat boarders think the way they do. They are thinking not just about wheat but in their mind it's the last stand of farmers against the corporate raping that no one can argue exists. Trouble is in that stand you have to have us the customer recieving at least the prices available on the current open market and available without a penalty fee when you want your money. If they would use the wheat supply they have to get a better price instead of well I don't even know what the hell to call it when you sell at a discount all the time.
The conservatives are using the faults of the cwb issue and gun control as a smokescreen to hide their real agenda of killing off farms to the point where there business buddies control it all.
The liberals too stupid to point this all out clear enough.
We the farmers are too stupid to see the big picture and are looking too much and always at the immediate problem, and have bought into the idea that the more neighbors fail the easier it is for me to get bigger and efficient. Yes in some cases but only if you get the weather no matter what size. Giving our votes away for free we are idiots. Look at the programs the Quebec farmers have, are they backwards not progressive no they are just not only thinking of themselves there is an actual plan there.
