Hows your "F - - KING" Day going!

[JDGreen]

hey klause see how your wife and children feel about you walking around with a box of matches and a pail of diesel fuel one day , whilst they cant buy bread or clothes for their backs. Thats the reality son.. I dont care how much you love it, it has to make money..

Hey JDGreen hows the field West of Kindersley. Is it starting to turn.

[JDGreen]

Hey JDGreen,

I have an IT business on the side, and since that's gotten battered by the economy work in the patch out west (as you probably know). I don't "need" the farm to make money, but it would help. I'm not married. But I have to take care of my parents - neither of whom work, as being immigrants neither have a pension.

I realize we all WANT/NEED money. We WANT/NEED the farm to make money. However stressing out, driving people around you and yourself up the wall, and seeing everything in a bad light will hurt your health, your family, and your friendships. It's a bad year. It's bad from Steinbach to High Level. Guys in SK are whining about the rain and fields being too wet... Try being wet for three years in a row, mudding in seed and mudding out crop.

All I'm saying is count your blessings... Many in Canada have no clue - absolutely NO CLUE how well off they are.

If this "WET" is the new "NORMAL", I'd bet a big chunk of the prairies will be used for other than crop production. This scenario is absolutely impossible to work with, producers will quit this torture. This day going downhill fast, rain started by 11am, even thunderstorms.

God are you ever inspirational Klause, I am on such a high the rain is falling my four wheel drive is buried out in the field, canola I cannot swath half is shelled out, wheat is a pretty combination of black mold and pink fusarium and I feel GREAT!!! I am so glad you brought me into the utopia of unreality, I think I am gonna call Ritz right now and tell him keep on screwing us that have no margin to fall back on in his supposed to be scrapped agrivation program and that he really is a stand up kinda guy.
And then when I wake up tommorrow, to reality I'll start banging my head against the wall, and when that is done hopefully I'll have done a good enough job to get back to unreality again, but who's gonna feed my family?

riders2010, and basically most of you - You've had two excellent years... followed by this year. You should have built up ample capital and should have the equity to wether this storm. What would you do if you were in Ste. Rose / Ste. Amelie / Laurier, MB where this is the third year of this wet shit? Yes, this crop is horrible. We're all in the same boat.

You live in a free country where if you have the initiative you can do what you want, and sometimes you need to do what you have to to get where you want to go. Does bitching, moaning, and whining get your grain in the bin? Does it get rid of fusarium? Does it stop the canola from shelling?

Perhaps you need to live in a country where you grow a 50bu/ac soybean crop, and a 110bu/ac wheat crop, put it in the bins, guard it from communist terrorist gurillas, only to have it confiscated from the government, who puts an "export tax" on it and you end up with 15 and 20% of the full market value respectively. Perhaps you need to be in a country where bombs are set under highways and city streets. Where corruption runs rampant.

That's South America. That's were my parents immigrated from. Do not sit at your computer, or tap away at your blackberry whining about all the little things (and a piss poor crop for one year is a little thing in the grand scheme of your life).

If one crop failure puts you so close to the edge that you're a 32nd of an inch from failure, you will need to re-examine your operation... you obviously have more debt than you can handle safely.

Well Klaus here is some slush money. Why the hell would you leave all that fun for this shit. Simple question if all you think is we bitch. Because listen the CWB and all its trouble plus the games of stats Canada etc is reality and that's our corruption.

[SASKFARMER3]

Also in South America If you have a poor summer crop their is always the winter crop.

There is no winter crop in Argentina. You plant winter wheat after you harvest soybeans.... One crop per year. Brazil is different. My parents moved here from Argentina.
