    Monday Time to Blitz the Phones!

    Seems only way anything gets done in this country is to bug bug and bug some more.
    Well Monday is a great day to phone your MP. Let them know how well Your grain is moving in this country and how well the grain companies are dealing with contracts. Quit sugar coating how it is in your area. Tell them the truth. Farmers who are liquidating Canola for Below 10 just to raise cash let them know.
    Farmers who are selling feed wheat that is really a two or three just to raise cash let them know. Farmers who have oats contracts or barley that aren't moving let them know.
    Just listened to question period in Ottawa for the week and wow. Measures we have put in place are working and grain is moving in a decent manner.
    WTF, who is writing this shit.
    Its simple Google your MP, Bingo their is their phone number, now start with local office or why not go right to Ottawa.
    Why wait Ottawa opens up with time change at 6Am Sask time.
    Like they say in Saskatchewan this weekend.

    RING THOSE PHONES! RING THOSE PHONES!

    Also get off your wallet and Ring those phones for Telemiracle. Its a great cause!

    Seems more to me phones fall on deaf ears. Media is the only way to get stories uncovered and things done.
    Maybe time for Marketplace, W5 or 16x9 to do some stories on farmers, Gov't agencies, grain handling and Rail systems.
    Might be a bigger story than anyone thinks/maybe not!

        Phone anyone who will listen. This year we produced a smaller crop than last years crop. But yet problems getting it moved. Ah was the winter worst on record. Answer is No. Because some areas have no snow the areas that do its way less than other years. MT have less. But was it really bone chilling cold. Yes down in Quebec and eastern Canada. Ah that doesn't effect us.
        Again phone phone and phone some more.

            Well tweety this year every thing in the world worked for you and that's great. Count your lucky stars because as a farmer who has seen a few seasons come and go. Just when you think every thing is running on all cylinders something happens and you have to adjust. Some times you have to throw the motor out and rebuild some times you have to start with a brand new motor. But one thing is for sure if you sit beside your vehicle and wish it would start, your going to be beside the road for a very long lonely time.
            Enjoy but talk to people who have or are having issues with movement or anything related to farming. Im sure they will explain how things are going.

              Tweety wasn't being snarky. He asked the legitimate question. What is the solution?

                Solutions

                1. Mandatory reporting. One accurate report.

                2. Threaten open running rights.

                3. If 2 doesn't work threaten nationalizing.

                4. Build another railway.

                5. Build government storage.
