Summary of what worked and what didnt in 2015

[Partners]

In this area we are close to the same every yr..We are usually to wet, colder than most..Live in the snow belt, that gives us more snow than most..
Crops do better in yrs. where we get under 10 inches of rain.
Crops here were OK, but not Great like some areas..Too cold to start.Pods didn`t fill on the canola.Wheat was 1-2-3 in grade..
Most guys work there land now, lots of N goes down in the fall..like the old days..We never did change from that habit..
Good luck in 16 to all..

Tweety,

We learn two things:
1) No two years are the same... count on it!

2) NEVER trust CNCP... they are above the law... common folks must obey.

the writ of execution against your land will haunt you. even though you say it has been paid it remains on record through land titles or personal property registry for future reference. similar to a criminal record. as far as the writ on personal property that you say you were not aware of that is very unlikely. unless the personal property was not included in the original writ of execution and it was a lien made by cn cp against said property.

[TOM4CWB]

Mistrust needs to be the cornerstone... of any dealing with CNCP. They are economic terrorists.

I seems to me that a weather pattern lasts just long enough to accept that this is the new reality and adjust accordingly, then it turns 180 degrees, and the old play book needs to be thrown out. I know that everything I learned in 13 and 14 about seeding into mud, was completely irrelevant and harmful this year.

I can't imagine how you feel Tom. Like getting kicked where it hurts the most. I have mixed thoughts on the whole thing from the beginning. Living in the shadows has it's benefits.

Didn't your legal counsel forewarn you of the possibilities? Who had your back? If you were the "poster child" of this suit maybe they should have had you firmly tucked under their wing and monitoring and protecting you, your family and property. The irony in this was your steadfast assertion of property rights against the CWB, now a "public corporate bully" is infringing on your property rights.

Please ask yourself, at the end.of the day who had the most to gain from this? American style class action law suits where law firms are foaming at the mouth for one reason only, and I highly doubt its to protect their clients interest!!!!

Sure glad it isn't me, I sincerely offer my empathy, sympathy and condolences.

If I remember correctly from my banker days there is a big issue for the creditor for not releasing a writ when the judgement has been paid.

However if it has been discharged it will likely stay on the title with a registration and release date.

Much like a paid collection thru a collection agency stays on your credit record.

We have phoned everywhere... and can't get ahold of anyone at CNCP legal council.

Personal assets? Is that like a general security agreement? They can lien on everything you own? Is there a list? If there was where did they get a detailed listing of personal property?

Are you finding it hard to conduct business if you wanted to, or needed to, borrow money or use an operating loan or line of credit secured with property the writ was applied to? How much of a hindrance has it been?

[TOM4CWB]

Farmaholic,

I had not heard of a personal lien that bound all personal assets before.

Land Titles.. vehicles/machinery ... yes... but an overall lien on everything?

Interesting to know this can be done...without the person knowing that has been liened on!
