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

Sk3, you have some good posts at times.
Don't make this place your thearapists office.
This is farming. Live with it or quit.
Things could be A LOT worse than you are making them out to be.

Buyers have always paid as little as possible, just enough to keep us producing.
Suppliers always charge as much as possible just as long as farmers continue to buy.
Competition is the only plus, but a money losing business will not last. There must be a profit for all of us.

Boy, if your actually talking to your
suppliers and john deere and esso and
such, that generally means you are
wealthy enough to be able to buy inputs
before year end to alleviate a tax
burden. Not everyone is that fortunate.
I have not talked to my supplier for
ages, because I do not have the means to
do end of year buying. See, I am digging
out of a massive hole that the crappy
weather of the first decade of the
century has blessed us with. This years
profit is the first scoop of the spade,
in the digging out of the hole.

Enjoy your trip to hawaii or wherever it
is that you are going. While you are
counting your cash, and trying to decide
what to do with the year end, all the
while complaining about farming, some of
us will be looking forward to paying for
last years crop in the new year. If I
wanted, I could really whine about my
personal situation. But you know what? I
am happy with what I have, never been
happier. It is not all about STUFF!!!

Contentedness is hard to find the more
affluent one gets. Here is to a Merry
Christmas, and hopes of contentment for
all. Stuff does not bring contentness.

Merry CHRISTmas!

Sheesh

Ass kissing and sucking up has always
been a huge part of framing in Alberta.
Tom and his framing family are very,
very, good at it. Mix in some old time
religion and conservative political crap
and you've got it maid. Environment,
who cares, neighbours, who cares,
sustainability who cares. Me, me, me,
myself and eye is all that counts now in
Comedian Angribusiness. Enjoy the new
realities, high land, rent prices and
conservative laws, bein shoved down yer
deep throat!!!!

Thank you digger, very good post

And even more to you Freewheat, your posts can remind anyone about what's important - Thank you for that

In general, the same issues S3 posts are happening in almost every area.

They are in my back yard also.

We all can choose to manage our business in a way that makes sense for the right reasons.

tee.
lock in some prices guys here in oz have
done wheat and canola for 2013 in
october november period.
nobody holding 2012 canola all
contracted ealier and sold or sold of
harvestor prices were in top 15% 8 weeks
ago.
chems the same kinda though sask 3
locked away a heap of chemicals some
months backs must have been mistaken
and fert well the main driver of fert is
india and china they are quite at the
moment it will head north once they move
the market up.

profitable year for me it was profitable
better than a loss

merry xmas and new year
