Pulse Levy refund

[farmaholic]

They are considering making the Pulse Levy refundable. I thought the model worked quite well. Apparently there are assets of about 24 million and the levy for 12-13 crop year was 13 million. Is the money being spent wisely. We have a pulse industry today! Instead of making it refundable, maybe reduce to the levy if there is more there than is needed. Can you imagine the income from the levy this crop year with the price of pulses. Any thoughts?

Farma,

Bang on. Reduce the levies. Seems easy for them to raise the levies... you would have thunk should be even easier to reduce them. All Alberta levies are already refundable... you folks in SK can catch up.. at least on one thing! Grin!!!

I would offer a swap... I would take Mandatory levies... for your WCB/OHS system!

And yes... the other deal... Brad would be a no brainer! IF Dow and Dupont can merge... how about ABSK!!!

Brad wall is a puppet with zero vision.

When people figure out how poorly he managed this boom he will be out of a job as well.

Bucket,

Be thankful for the leadership you have... he has done a good job compared to so many others... Brad is the only sane voice on the Climate Change file.

Encourage Premier Brad! Wish him a Merry Christmas!

Cheers!

Hey a stadium with no roof and a ring road that leads into a city.

Yeah he's brilliant.

Wait til some find out about a uranium royalty give away.

[Klause]

bucket would you rather have Alberta's NDP?

Or Manitoba's?

Maybe not everything he does is perfect but a helluva lot better than the alternative.

In ten years you will understand how ****ing stupid he is/was.

Quit looking at today and look into the future which is what politicians are paid to do.

Calvert had more vision. Wall is riding his coat tail as history will prove.


And I am not a ndp supporter but I do expect more from the so called conservatives.

Pulse acres will be huge this year so a decreased mandatory levy might be the answer.

[farmaholic]

O88, the prices paid for pulses this year alone should net out a large levy. What would you recommend they do?

[Oliver88]

I'm not a pulse grower but you and Tom have a reasonable idea, reduce the levies.

I say reduce the levy but keep it mandatory. It has done a lot of good but collecting too much of a windfall promotes crazy spending.

Bucket , you are absolutely insane to say Calvert had more vision than Wall. I think the Calvert years were the lost years no vision, no purpose, just floundering.

Wall has paid down debt, improved roads,raised personal exemptions so people with lower income pay no tax, built a stadium which never would have happened under the NDP. There is absolutely no way you can compare Wall to Calvert.

Wall hasn't paid a nickel on the debt. And when he's done the province will owe more.

Just like harper.


You guys are blinded by idealogy. I will tell you my predictions for this province and who will own what later.

Pulses have been breathed life into the non-traditional Canola zone for 35 odd years now - our farming life. The pulse board was instrumental in fostering the research done by Slinkard. Thank you Jesus.

Sask pulse has brought more wealth to farmers than other commodity group(especially canola)

They Also have the best seed model for farmers being able to access New varieties without breaking the bank or paying Royalties Every year till your dead
Thank you Jesus
