How Many Carry Crop Insurance of Any type!

[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.

Ive said this before so bear with.
The yard is next to a hospital. I drive by it several times a day. My sore aching body or my ****ed up personal life with all its complete stresses gets a little lighter sometimes with the things I see there. I think were all *****s.

[freewheat]

Breadwinner, LOL! vvalk, relax, he has a sense of humor at least.

Stonepicker. 2006 I seeded 10%, 2007 0%, and 2010, 0%. throw two 20% years, and a couple of 50% ers, and that is what this area had.

Have heard your hard luck story way to many times, why don't you right a book already. Maybe it would be a best seller and you could move on to bigger things!
