    Starting early than expected

    There was a meeting at Weekes Sask. I heard today cattlemen and grain producers meeting with Mrs. Draude and Mr. Breikreitz regarding the flop of the agristability program, no feed and basically no agri recovery program for the disaster.

    There are other groups talking about meetings as soon as harvest over, get together the disaster needs to be finally adressed the way it should have been from the start. As one producer stated the only way to keep that crap program is to reset the margins per acre at 120 bucks and margin for cattle as well and make it pay out this fall otherwise if this is not workable then scrap the program as was promised by the conservatives and the Sask party several times.

    Another farmer called it "complete bullshit" that some are going to get more than their expenses out of the program and the hardest hit areas that had this flood in 2005 6 and 7 are basically going to get nothing.

    The individual organizing that area was I believe Derek Denham (hope I spelled it right) from Weekes. Other groups get it together time for the current governments to stop ducking and hiding from the issue.

    Any one at that meeting? Tell us how it went over. IMO, all federal ag disaster programs over the years have been set up by bureaucrats, NOT to pay out. Only one that worked was Western grains Stabilization, so it was killed.

      I agree with that 110%. Only with this nightmare program it is expected 75 to 80% will get nothing but some as I said will get a windfall. That's not what should happen. Huge administration cost for what, to support accountants and those farmers that had good weather recent years, that don't need assistance, what a joke.

        CAISP= Chartered Accountants Income Stabilization Program. At least all these ag programs have been very good for MNP, not so much for the producer.
