    To All our Suppliers, 2008 has long gone!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Funny as we rush around getting ready for christmas and talking to lots of our suppliers about 2013. One common theme seems to be out their.
    THEY DONT GET THAT 2008 has come and gone!
    First lets start with Equipment for the farm!
    Your trade is worth nothing because we need to make so much of a profit to keep the doors open.
    Our product that your buying is worth its weight in gold. All the new things that we added to it.
    Yea its a combine with new decals and a sprayer with new decals and a new serial number.
    Nothing earth shaking about it and in less than a year youll tell me its worthless.
    The Grain companies, Who take our grain. Promise the world look at the crop in sample pails then relook then check again under a microscope and finally buy it with dockage.
    The chemical and fertilizer guys and gals. Yes you have our drugs and we need them to get our fix but killing your client is just bad buisiness.
    Fert is up. OK Anhdrous, and liquid.
    Granular is lower.
    Glyphos is up and so is all the new chemicals. Oh yea buy your seed for 2015 and pay for it now since we need a supply for two years out.
    Buy your disease control for next summer now as we know its going to be a very bad year (for you MR Farmer).
    Government on all their programs that were in place and are now gone. Cleaned the house, smoke and mirror show and actual coverage is way down.
    RMs we know most are broke or on the edge looking at land values to increase their taxes.
    To all the land companies and banks that are helping farmers become extinct.
    SERF!!!!!!!!!!!!!SERF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SERF!

    Checked today, All grain prices are dropping and in the shitter. 2013 is shaping up to be one heck of a loss year!
    OH well its nice for all our suppliers to live in 2008.

      well... SF3

      I say the cup is only HALF Full.

      Our farm has Never been more prosperous now... since
      it started here in Alberta in the year of our Lord 1881.

      I call you BLUFF. First real skill needed to manage
      income to mitigate tax liabilities in decades... and
      suppliers are reaping the benefits.

      God Bless them One and All... I am GLAD to have
      stable profitable partners to invest our families hard
      earned cash into for the 2013 crop to come!

      Have a great 2013 one and all...

      Have a GREAT Christmas, God Bless Canada... we live
      and work in the best country in the WORLD!!!

          Well tom Im proud your Alberta farm is so prosperous.
          You love your suppliers probably still take them a little sip this time of year.
          But reality is were heading for the shitter and the train is picking up speed.
          THE world is not short of FOOD just short of dollars to pay for it.
          Merry christmas. Tom$CWB.

            I ask you this tom. Do our suppliers not think were all still in 2008 before the crash?
            Simple question. I dont need a lecture on how prosperous were doing etc.
            Most dont get that the crop wasnt as big as we thought it was going to be and most dont get that the prices were being paid for our products are dropping every day.
            Again the question are they stuck in 2008 before the crash?

                guide... and God willing!

                Cheers!

                        SF3, you said a few posts ago with
                        passport and tickets in your hand, "I'm
                        outa here".

                        Doesn't sound like you're just getting by.
                        Quit your whining, its disgusting.

                          Wd I am out of here very shortly.
                          Simply are our suppliers stuck in 2008.
                          I'm in the new world af farming, where we have
                          foreign owners (new Canadians) owning most of
                          my neighbors, land companies farming all around,
                          yet were still here and will be fiorhopefully a long
                          time.
                          Again are all our suppliers out to lunch.

                            When farmers prosper, everyone gets a piece of
                            the pie. Thats how it has been since I can
                            remember. Bankers are looking at the same
                            signals that you are. They may be getting cold
                            feet. Inputs are up at levels sustainable by great
                            commodity prices, cash rents and land costs are
                            sky rocketting, machinery costs are limit-up.
                            Yields were disappointing in some areas and
                            prices are slipping. If you were the banker, what
                            would you be thinking?

                              “Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they
                              aren't after you”

                              Start planning an exit strategy before you go and
                              hurt yourself or your family. , I see this all the
                              time. Get some help. There are some good
                              professionals in Regina, very discreet and
                              confidential. It doesn't have to be this way.
