God Bless Saskatchewan

[hobbyfrmr]

I like grassfsrmer's perspective. There is good and bad everywhere. Choose to focus on the good and you will have contentment. Count one blessing and more will follow. Plus, if you choose to speak positively or gratefully it really changes the mood of conversations.
I too like critical thinking because it does bring awareness to situations that require improvement.

I had a BC grain buyer call me yesterday first point was to talk weather. 20, sunny and beautiful there. He mentions how miserable the weather has been here. I say this is very common weather here and I am satisfied with it. It was some kind of weird "upper hand" strategy in the conversation.
End result, wire the full sum of money to me Monday, then I will load a truck anytime he wants.

I dump about 4 ounces of vodka into me and then I make my own ****ing weather thank you very much.
I just have to watch the evening news from any city in North America and pretty soon I realize that, I definitely have shitty problems that need solutions but there is so much worse.
I am fortunate to have enough room left on my credit cards to buy enough vodka to take society's sharp edge off !

Not jealous at all angry yes *** pissed
All our resources being given away or sold to the lowest bidder
Control of grain production and selling all being given away to make oil deals.

It's not right at all chineese and Saudis and who knows who else can grow grain on saskatchewan farm land and ship it directly back to their countries. Anyone see a problem with that?

[Robertbarlage]

Saudies friday were paying the most for canola !

[riders2010]

Well you better book it all in then Robert. All 10 cents. Lmao!!!

Where do the profits they make go? And it's a hell of a lot more than 10 cents.

No one seems to know what happens to the grain these foreigners grow and send out on producer cars direct back over seas. How do they pay taxes on that?

Klaus

Agriville is an open forum and everybody is entitled to their own opinion. I have lived and farmed my entire life in Manitoba. I personally think Manitoba is a great province to live, farm and raise a family. Unlike you Klaus, my feelings towards the province don't changed based on the political party who is governing.

You come on here with a huge chip on you shoulders regarding Manitoba, and on many occasions have bad mouthed it, when ever opportuntiy arises. You don't live in Manitoba anymore so keep you negative thoughts about it to yourself. I don't live in Sk but my wife is from the SE corner, and I think it's a great province and would never run it down on any public forum. I hear from her family about the same problems we have in Manitoba. They complain about their highways constantly and say both provinces have many highway issues. So that answers your 1- 4 points.


Point 5 is correct so I'll leave that one alone.

Point 6, I'll be honest, I see both sides on this one so I'm on the fence.

Point 7, very broad statement on your part, so can you give examples.

Point 8, I don't agree with you on this but, all can I say to that is the total population of MB. is 1.2 million, of that 735,000 live in Wpg. Having said that, my farm has all the necessary infrascture and services I can expect for a small rural community, and I'm happy with what I have. My relatives in SE Sask have complained about their poor service in rural SK regarding policing, doctor availability, roads, etc etc. So please don't make it sound like rural Sk is any better than rural Manitoba.

POINT 9
When you talk about work ethic, you use the example of building roads. So that's your analysis of the work ethic in Manitoba, road construction? Talk about painting Manitoba with a broad brush. I think anybody wanting to get ahead works hard no matter what province they are from. How you figure that Sk people have better work ethic than MB is baseless and shows a lack knowledge of the people of Manitoba.

Points 10-15 i have no comment because I just don't know about those issues.


As for pride with in Manitoba how do you know, when you haven't lived here in 5 years. I'm a proud Manitoban and everybody I know feels the same way as I do, and unlike you still live here.
Klaus, again you don't live in Manitoba anymore so keep your B.S thoughts about it to yourself.


Stonepicker

You farm in Manitoba, yet you agree with all of Klaus' statement. Do you you have a backbone?

[chuckChuck]

You can view your world through a hyper partisan lens but I think most people find hyper partisanship pretty annoying whether you are right or left.

When I point out that most farmers are happy to receive their AgriInvest matching deposit courtesy of taxpayers you seem to forget that this is a form of socialist wealth transfer.

[bgmb]

Had to laugh, Saw a post asking "what can the government do to help young farmers?" I thought to myself they already do quite a bit in terms of providing credit and crop ins.

I think the best thing they could do is get out of the way.

[Robertbarlage]

So riders your saying you'd take .10 less? you are a dumb ass if you have 100000 bushels that's one hell of a holiday somewhere.

[riders2010]

Well next week it ll be 20 cents higher somewhere else so up your ass dumb smartass! Lol
Or do you just support the Saudis because it was a giveaway for oil. Lol

[Robertbarlage]

I hope it will be $1.00 more !lol

I moved from Alberta in 2009 and I love Saskatchewan. Do some roads need fixed? Of course. Is there some funny business with land around Regina? Sure. Could things be improved? Yes. But in my opinion we live in the best country in the world and Saskatchewan is the best province in this country. It's a free country we can all live wherever we want. I choose Saskatchewan.

[farmaholic]

I thought Alberta was God's Country.....or was the advertising slogan about the Alberta Advantage like John Deere's advertising campaign about them being best?

farmaholic reporting from the slum.....

Weather next....Today Alberta's blowin and Manitoba's sucking....explains the strong winds today
