Quick , Bayer needs your help !

[tweety]

I'm really thinking most of you need to read the article again.

Its about lies and myths to sell organic food at the expense of false negative public perception of conventional farming.

Tweety, I read the article, they need our help because their sales are down . They think it's because of the public . Well they couldn't give a shit about our little problem that we can't afford to grow canola anymore . They couldn't give a shit that they increased seed price when prices of canola dropped 30% . They couldn't give a shit that half the farmers bought their high price fungicide , sprayed it in good faith and still ended up with garbage wheat . But give them a hand , be their spokesman , get on board with them . I, for one ,am through wearing out machinery , buying bins and spraying all summer for sfa. Do you think it's normal to be spraying every field 5 or 6 times a year just to keep all the leeches living from farm to consumer ?? If they need help , maybe they should give us a hand with inputs, no, they want it both ways .

Yup... I pulled a load out of there yesterday... no lineup pulled right in and loaded. How bizzare it's a game of chicken now... who blinks first

The companies are making a shortage and are going to like BigZ said show us they can do what ever they want MR Farmer and you better get use to it. Ah what a partner we have in this farming game. Like the Elevators and Chem companies. The ones who need us can do what ever the F$%K they like with out no recourse and we have to pay.
Ah Farming what a system.

Pretty simple don't buy.



No one is holding a gun to your head.


Grow peas and chem fallow for a year tell them to piss off.



Internationally fertilizer dropped another 10 to 20 bucks a tonne.


Soon the discrepancy will be large enough to go after them for price fixing.

Is there a problem hiring trucks?

[Klause]

No.... there's no demand. I can't get a load.

How valiant of Bayer to come to the plate to protect the "Producer's" industry!!!!

The biggest risk is their's that public appetite for chemical agriculture is waning, not so much ours, people will have to eat and if it means more money for less production for producers, is that such a bad thing?

Recognize the model Hobby?

Heads up from the beef world - if you are relying on the Competition Bureau to redress this I wouldn't hold my breath.

as public breeding is shoved out or sold off by the govt.
the consumer will ultimately pay the bill.
it turns into a system, where you assume
the corporations will have leave some allowance
for farmers to produce it. or under contract.

the corporate cut, whatever they determine it to be, will come from the consumer. and if 3 or 4 companies control it. the sky is pretty well the limit.

the public with patent law, have protected the property rights of the original roundup and liberty patents
for 15 -20 years.
they should be public domain now.
How come they are not?

these companies are certainly free to innovate and patent something new.

and the new products, true market value , would rightly be determined by whatever benefits over and above publicly available RR and liberty varieties. (but where are they?)

with govt.allowing seed contracts to bypass patent law. it allows total
price control. forever.

just watch as the groundwork has been laid to control and collect on every open pollinated crop. with UPOV91.

just like canola , in 5 years there will not be a public breeder for anything.
total control of all seed in the industrialist world by 3 or 4 corporations

but hey they are our partners,buddies
they are not going to stick it to us and the consumer. are they?

[Hopperbin]

What is the price to farmers there?

[Klause]

399 a tonne in castelton nd

[tweety]

Right, its all about you and canola seed. Sigh.

How can farmers be so far out of touch!!!!!
