    Time to ring those phones! The lines in Ottawa are open!

    Ok some don't care about what's going on, you have that right. Just seems funny how were back moving shit all for grain and we cant blame it on the winter as its going to be plus 5 to 7 today. We cant blame on the snow this winter because really its not that deep. The studies that are in place really aren't doing anything but study a situation all farmers know exits.
    So if all the MPs say its not as bad as last year. Yet we grew a smaller crop than last year I think farmers need to make a call and let them know this shit show we call grain movement isn't working.
    In Brazil shippers bring a country to its knees and get action.
    Simply the industry wants us as farmers to produce more and more to feed the world I believe is their slogan.
    Well its tough to feed the world when all the players after farmers cant get their shit together.
    So yes the offices are open in the East start phoning. What can it hurt. Maybe they need just a little reminder that nothing has changed in a year and the crop was smaller. So what service will be back to normal after a drought.

    And what should we say? Just whine about the problems they already know about?

        Tweety the minister last week in question period said the measures that they put in place are working. Ah really their working.
        You just stated their are problems in service.
        So tell them what you just said. A little reminder.
        Also guys who liquidated to raise cash for next Mondays payments let them know that. Liquidate grain to cover a payment because service isn't working.

            Maybe some people don't realize the railways are moving less grain than last year.

            20 boats anchored at vancouver.

            Terminals not full.

            But because railways report every car movement as grain movement empty or not government official see report that say railways are current.

            At 600000 tonnes to the west cost the graincos couldn't fill 10 boats a week. But 20 floating. And more coming.

            And so is another crisis.

            This isn't rocket science.

              Well I've been ringing and writing for quite awhile.

              But I didn't vote for these characters so anything I say falls on DEAF ears.

              We need every farmer who voted For them to actually get Involved in the Democratic process and do something besides Just voting

                Don't feel bad. I did vote for them and I am getting the same treatment.

                Although I sent an email a few months ago telling them they are not getting my vote.

                Got sick of a nice receptionist saying someone would call.

                I must be in the same group or ignore list.
