Positives in Ag in Canada!

Again in the past I was trying to show the realities of farming and warn people of what was coming now that it's here we need to adapt quick and realize they humor maybe all we have some days. Companies look after only one thing their bottom line, they don't give a shit if farmers make a dime they really don't. Farming is not a easy profession, if it was every one would do it.
I still hope one day we will be on top and command a fair price for our goods. But like the last time when canola went through the roof the companies told us they can't make any money paying that amount so sell us your product. It was bull shit they made the packages smaller and still made a buck. Now their making huge Bucks yet when the shoe is on the other foot. You mr farmer have to make due with less.
It's the circle of life.

I pointed out some things showing hownthe consumer is even getting screwed. Same product-less volume-same OR more money. Time to shrink our bushels or tonnes and ask the same OR more money. Does the average consumer realize how they are getting hosed. Paint is a prime example-imperial gallon to U.S. gallon to something less than that and continually shrinking..... many examples in food packaging too. They can't shrink a liter, pound, kilo, gram but they sure as hell can give you less. Maybe that's why it's so hard to swallow the price of a "pound" of canola seed or a tonne of fertilizer. Should we be buying 12oz.lbs. and 1800lb tonnes to make the price more palatable? Get the picture?

Well, it didn't take long for the positives to turn into negatives. Touching on what Charlie somewhat alluded to, one positive is that there are very few if any farmers I know whose lifestyle and disposable income isn't way above what the vast majority of Canadians ever experience and an asset base that makes quite a few of you into one percenters. You work hard, you worry and stress. So does everyone. The ups and downs in farming are to be expected in a free market society. So put on the big girl panties, and chin up.

Not into cross-dressing, Perv......

Re, positives and negatives, never forget to look at the whole picture. Otherwise your only fooling yourself and don't forget to look both ways before crossing the street otherwise you may get run over. Percect analogy.
