Fartin Elk!!

[riders2010]

So I had an adjuster out today to do wildlife claim on canola. And she comes back to yard and tells me there is some evidence of elk but mostly wind damage. So out to the field we go and there it was white canola swaths incredibly right in the same spot that the elk tracks that are 5 inches into the mud up and down the swath are, and just as incredible where there are no tracks there is no wind damage. So I said is this the wind damage, oh yes, I said isn't it a little unusual that the wind followed the elk up and down the swath or was it something they ate and blew it out their asses causing the canola to shell as they walked. I didn't sign and supposedly someone else will be out tommorrow, good grief.

In the next rm there is a guy with bird damage in peas and three adjusters appraised the field and there were three different appraisels from 25, 43 and 58 on the same field, I know you're not gonna be right on but double the difference, holy crap, the last adjuster didn't even think there was bird damage until the guy showed him pictures of about 2-3000 geese and mentioned that someone from some magazine had filmed all the geese. The guy has had geese on that field for 6 weeks they ate out all the lower holes where they wanted to swim in and crop insurance is saying there are no peas there, well not now after they are eaten. Wonder if that is the young guy that e-mailed Kevin Hursh about his problem with crop insurance and waterfowl damage? Hats off to mr. hursh for publishing that story people need to know what is going on out here. and how these programs are being run.. Maybe time to privatize crop insurance get rid of agrivation and get a good solid single program.

Privatize will get you less service, at higher prices. Yup that is the way Comedian farmers want it, lets privatize ever thin........

When you see how many people totally hate that program and how many are dropping out of it, not hard to figure out something is wrong there. Politicians are always claiming to be looking for improvements so why not clean house and get a decent insurance. Same flaws as agrivation once you have losses you are insuring based on lost values.

I was told by the office that she was one of the top adjusters, I said I believed it, at least she saw something shelled the canola. Top adjuster how, showing up for the paycheck, trying to weasel out of paying a fair claim, I see the farmer adjusters are quitting or being weeded out, probably because they know how to really adjust. But unions protect incompetance just as much as they do some good for employees been taken advantage of.

There are morons in these programs all over. We had an "expert" from the MNR tell us we didn't need deer removal authorizations because it wasn't deer eating the cobs off the corn plants, it was actually raccoons climbing 4' up the stalk and eating all the cobs, then climbing back down without ever breaking or bending a stalk. And never mind the complete lack of raccoon tracks among all the deer tracks either.

F shit happens guys, you know you got deer or raccoons or what ever. Deal with it. Dam I am sick of hearing this shit. Rider you baby need some hug.

Ah thanks hopper! When we tell the agminister this is happenning and nothing gets done people out there need to know that it's not just them this garbage is happenning to. The guy that came out and redid the claim apparently has spent nearly all fall following the same ones around correcting things that should never happen. And according to him the ones followed are the special pet picks (relatives and old boozing buddies and gals) of the high up ones, that supposedly handle all the what should be easy claims yet still haven't got a clue and screw them up. For me I'm off the swather and combine extra time, and money for not getting paid what is supposed to be, and the stress of dealing with morons. Not too mention supposedly if you complain about the morons too much you start to get yourself on the auditors list with crop insurance, how do you like that one?
For you hopper that doesn't know what a multi year crop loss is due to weather the loss the elk and geese is probably a joke but not for us with no margins in the shit program. So don't tell me about hugging, go hug Ritz he may be your type for giving you guys more than your expenses in the Agrivation program, and the people that flooded out or other weather losses in 2005 2006 and 2007 2008 get f'all.

You just wait until the harvest is done and the realities of all those areas that will get f'all out of the programs and those that will get a windfall you think this is bad you wait til that shit hits the fan and it's coming.

The CAWL program CANADA'S AGRICULTURAL WEATHER LOTTERY.

Forgot to mention, maybe if the Sask Party and Conservatives spent less focus on the buying multi hundred million dollar stadiums and focused on handling the problems in Agriculture like they told us they would we wouldn't be mentioning all this garbage!
