Reaction to TPP

[ag-boy]

just a good deal overall! t-p-p
not so good for ndp Tom anti remarks all the time
hope we get rid off the rich chicken and dairy progam, this been so rich and protected
and why a pay out again after they had so protected by cost plus profit
quota.

What is the problem with any sector of AG primary producer being lucrative or even rich? We don't even know what grain prod's have given or received out of this deal.
Was all tariffs removed or part of or did some others get to add some on?

[sawfly]

who knows milk and cheese , might be a little cheaper for a while.
and your drug costs go up 400%.

if the deal was really about trade , great.
with Harper at the helm it could be more about creating market monopolies.
for his backers.
all in the details

There's always the assumption that just cause you have dairy you're rich. I have 2 local dairies that are struggling/subsistence farms. Like every business, good management is essential.

Braveheart Do you have any idea what they het for product?

One of the richest nation in the world -Norway is not involved in trade deals other than WTO.
This way it keeps control of its sovergnty versus giving control to international corporations

[FarmRanger]

Norway has 5 million people and over 50% of their exports are oil. Not many countries blocking oil imports.

Anyone feel stupid that the west never had an adjustment payment for loss of the CWB. There was an adjustment factor, we paid it.

[Braveheart]

Wmoebis, sorry I didn't quite get your question.

[newguy]

Sale and export trade is always a good thing.As long as you can get the product to the port.

[wmoebis]

Sorry Fat fingers. Do you know what milk is worth at producer level?

Have since talked to an X producer he said on their place milk returned about 45% profit. Don't know what all he was including in expenses like cost of quota, building depreciation etc. He said eggs was about the same and last year hogs were about 35 - 40%
