Does anyone remember what we were told when they removed the Crow Rate? It is in the best interest of the prairies, it will spur new industry. Feedlots will pop up everywhere, flour mills, blah, blah, blah. We were fed bull then and we are being fed it once again. Anything government or corporations push for is never in the best interest of the farmer. It is for the best interest of the pockets of the share holder, period. Say all you want about new technology, better yields, etc we had a 1 in 100 year crop and we can't move it, how will we move product with all this wondrous new tech that will double our yields? The support industries keep pecking away at the farm bottom line with royalties, technology fees and absurdly priced seed eventually there will be nothing left to take. The seed/chemical companies should invest in a railway if they want to contribute to the advancement of agriculture in this country. I am saddened that this great industry made up of many hard working farmers and their families, one that I used to look forward to being in is being ruined by the plain and simple greed.
