How Many Carry Crop Insurance of Any type!

[Klause]

Vvalk you have no clue about wet.... none.

[stonepicker]

ok wet guys, what has been your average seeded acres per year? i've been as low as 25% seeded. Getting tired of your bullshit also! I'll bet there's a few areas in MB. that have had worse years than you guys. Enough bullshit! Move on for crying out loud!

[stonepicker]

And BTW, keeping with the thread, i carry crop ins. and agri-stability. It's so cheap i'm not sure why everyone doesn't carry it.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yea he knows about wet when he turns his pivots on.
If he's our spokesman for Ag more than ever were F$&ked .

[SASKFARMER3]

Vwalk I keep reading your comments and you really don't get farming. 1/3 wet 1/3 awesome 1/3 in between wtf.
It's spreading on 5000 acres and giving it everything and harvesting 3200.
A lot of us have been kicked by Mother Nature for way to long and some hAve had unbelievable luck.
Maybe it's our turn. Their is no sure crop area in western Canada.
Yes drought sucks it got to five or six miles from our farm in 1988. I feel sad for guys who are having to deal with disasters.
If I could get it to rain in your areas I would gladly give you rain.
Their is a reason our land isn't worth the same as Kansas.
Now back to the thread.
I agree with stone picker their cheap coverage for being able to sleep a little easier.
Ag stability. Never ever ever count on it as if your dry you still will produce some thing that will come off what your suppose to get and if it's a gradual decline you'll never get any thing.

Klause your sure a know it all. What makes you think you can make an absolute statement like that. Interesting how the closest weather station to me as had the highest amount of rain the last two years in the list in the back page of the seducer. Not saying that had every weather station is there but it says something. Sf3 im only calling you out on your blanket statements just like many others on here. Not sure what the farm leader comment is about. You keep bringing up my pivots. What do you know about pivots or my operation.

[vvalk]

Breadwinner nice to see you can throw half of western Canada under the bus with your comment and yet it doesn't apply to me since I'm not dry. At least not yet

There is far to many people on here talking about there misfortunes of past years. It's in the past, if your growing area has adequate moisture this year and crops are looking okay, try to be a little humble and show some compassion to those that are suffering. Frankly hearing about what happened four, five or eight years ago is very tiring, we have all had hardships. This shit about rubbing it in other faces is pure crap.

[SASKFARMER3]

Yes rubbing it in is wrong.
Time to move on.

This thread makes me smile actually and we are getting dry.. Well insured yes.. Guaranteed profit.. Hasn't rained here any amount over 5mm this year. Total for year 14mm.. Some thundershowers within a few miles have dropped up to 25mm once. Old timer 100 years old says reminds him of 1937 and that was a dirty one apparently. Driest spring on record apparently at Swift Current research station, however there are twits on this site that proclaim all is back to normal. Normal in season rainfall is around 175mm of rain fall. So as you can see we we are only 8%. But hey the palliser triangle was always dry anyways according to some tard that walked through one summer. All areas go through wet/dry/frost etc. Manage your business and roll on. Have talked to farmers in this area that have no insurance and yes I think they are ready to jump off a bridge. Hail insurance salesmen apparently telling guys to buy and pray for hail. I say go to Vegas and spin the wheel.. About the same odds. Myself if it don't rain considerably In the next 30 days will be found at Sask landing park surfin, fishin, partyin and generally doing nothing till Sept 1st which when I think about it is long overdue anyways.

vvalk have you lost fields to a lake where all you can see is the tops of 2,000 bushel bins? Have you had to take a boat out to the field to get your sprayer out?

Somehow, doubt it.

I agree what's past is past

stonepicker, can't speak for anyone else but from Manitoba here LOL.

[vvalk]

Klause just love how your statements are fact and others people's are not. You do it all the time. Not sure where you get off coming across the way you do.

[Klause]

vvalk, answer the question.


I've traveled from MB to the rockies every year... You may get the inches of rain but without a water table and without a major lake/river system it is completely different.

Just like here... things get bad but never as bad as they did in MB...

Can you dig a 8' hole and have water all year round every year? That's what we had for wells in Manitoba... It's also why real droughts are non-existent out there... The 80s were the best years ever just like freewheat's area.
