[SASKFARMER3]

What point are you trying to make?

[blackpowder]

So true Charlie.

[riders2010]

So what?
Some people had a good crop last year some did not. Prior to that many had shit for crop four out of five years. And the facts about last year are being told now. There is no where near the inventory for canola flax canary and peas as the bullshitting some bought off commentators have said. This year the area of loss is not limited to the southeast and in Manitoba. There are loss pockets everywhere. Way more than this bullshit market is paying for at any rate.

Charlie your showing your true color.
Explain how much a farmer will get if out of 160 acre quarter that he seeded 155 and the flood took 90 how is 65 going to give Canada much of a crop. If Alberta has a bumper still won't get their.
Explain in Alberta rose colored logic,

[SASKFARMER3]

I always said their are those that teach and then their are those that do!
Crop commentators in Canada are in the teach and like tom preach category!

[crusher]

I think those in Saskatchewan that are so bitter about the cards they were drawn should sell out and move to Alberta where everything is always near perfect. Just remember you won't be farming 10,000 acres it will now be 3,000. Cut up by railroads and powerlines and rivers and highways...

[SASKFARMER3]

Come on Charlie explain where your going.

[charliep]

Perhaps a comment the story is the same year to year. You can paste posting from previous years and it would be the same themes.

You comment on cooperation in the agriculture sector and yet you are first the technique of divide and conquer. Most of Alberta is lucky to date although it will not likely be a repeat of 2013. Many areas will be worst off. Harvest is still a long ways off.

Just curious as to why you took offence to these posting?

"Nobody knows the troubles I've seen, nobody knows my sorrows" - Louis Armstrong

We're f%cked, the crop is f%cked, the politicians don't know how f%cked up the crops are. You don't know, you didn't get (place weather calamity here). We need (place agreeable stretch of weather here) . Even with the most agreeable weather the crop is going to freeze. Sask is f%cked.

Time for some posters to sit down with wife and kids and describe the reality of how f%cked their farm really is. its time to sell to China before they leverage another dime of equity and are truly broke. If you sell to China now for big prices, it will look like you were very smart and left as millionaires. The community will be none the wiser.

[SASKFARMER3]

That last comment shows how out of touch you are with agriculture! 8 years this shit rain has been happening and 8 years I have said our area has been hit! Magically Alberta and west sask have prospered for 8 years gee do you think it's coincident! I also find it funny how albertans can't grasp how bad flooded acreage is!

I agree with charle I have been watching this site for nquite a few yrs and it same shit different pile. Not to long you all were braging how you was going to get the asshole down the roads property and at your price , now the worm has turned and you are in the dodo and some one larger or pension fund backed is breathing down your neck, not so funny now. Thats the trouble with killing all the little fish after a while you are the little one and its going to be hard to stand against well financed big business isnt it. All those programs aimed at allowing some to get bigger and multi mil$ insurances is goint to help put out of business, unless you want to become an sharecropper.

[jethro456]

The Alberta hate is strong with some on this site. Not sure why.
Here in the south the last number of years have been good, but what about before that? Going back to "normal" means our crops burn up and yield little.

I suppose it's alright for that to happen, as long as you don't get flooded. Seems like there is a sense of entitlement for good weather, because that's the way it used to be.

[charliep]

Perhaps we all need to take pleasure in small victories. No fun stuff today (raining) but got finally completed a plumbing project that has been a long time in the making (disagreement in the house as to how long it has been). No leaks so far and only 2 trips to Rona.

Attitude also comes from watching family. Getting old ain't easy. Puts some perspective on life and whats important. I am lucky enough to be able to deal with stuff as it happens. Plan for the best. Prepare for the worst.

[rockpile]

I had a goofy neighbour who was neither prosperous nor a good farmer by any means. But he once said something that stuck with me over the years - "plan for the bad years, the good ones will take care of themselves". I think there is a modicum of truth to that.
