Ok no one wants to ask the question so Here it is! Economic loss from the heavy rain!

[4GFarms]

I agree furrow, not to piss SF3 off but not everyone needs to know what your trading off. You consistently complain about the parasites that feed off your farm but yet you are the one feeding them. You seem to feed the chem companies and the dealerships alot but complain about them. You just need to step back and think about what you are saying sometimes. Too much new iron on your farm and vacations for some of us to take you seriously!!! Sorry again, not wanting to offend anyone but holy s**t when some guys could have just lost their farms or close to it with this rain. Come on man!

[furrowtickler]

Nycolishyn had by far the highest prices posted anywhere in western Canada , when I brought it up last year ,after you pissed and moaned about machinery prices you said they are the best . Well call a spade a spade . If it is that tough there is no way on earth you would ever ever be thinking of trading your Fukin lawn mower off . Really guy ???

[furrowtickler]

Try Fukin zero off no matter how many AC you brag about .. Ya reality check , that's exactly what happened to many guys for 3 years straight after spending the whole gamut to put the crop in - then get Fukin shit coverage from crop insurance because your average is basically shot for 3 years
Sorry , cry me a Fukin River .
I brought this up before , there are many areas far far worse off than you will ever be . And not because they are " less " farmers
J/C look at what is going on outside your back yard .

[furrowtickler]

You bring a lot to this discussion, but really ??poor Fukin you

I think SF3, speaks for a lot of people who struggle, even if he personally is not struggling so much. Perception can be kind of a bugger, talking about trades etc., but I try to look past that jargon, and I think he means well. I had kind of a fit one time about him earlier in my agriville career. But I really think he means well and speaks for a lot of folks, even if it not directly affecting him too badly?

I had a neighbor like him once. Big farmer, appeared to be doing well. Stood up for farmers, no matter the size or stature of their farms, even if he was not in the pickle others were.

My theory is he is setting himself up for a run at ag minister someday! lol

[Ronski]

I'm pretty sure I've ranted about SF3 on here, I know he's pissed me off reading and I've cursed the keyboard BUT he calls it like he sees it and to wet is way worse than to dry. During a drought you can go to the lake or camping or at least mow the ****ing lawn. Rains for 6 weeks you just sit at the table, drink coffee and wait till its late enough in the day to switch to whiskey. He has thick skin to keep coming back and posting his observations and I for one appreciate them.
If you don't like his comments I'm sure he will refund every penny you paid for them.

Acording to that map out area and Estevan had nothing also Yorkton nothing

Seems to be no quality control with the weathfarm.com data posted to their site, plus lots of stations no longer reporting, but they leave them on the site so to make it look like they have more prairie coverage than they reaaly do. All the mb data was also under reported, this based on what my davis rain guage reported at the farm vs what was uploaded to their site. I basically quit relying on their data, and lnow ook at the mb agriculure rain guage site instead. Time to move to the weatherunderground site.

Furrow I give what others are seeing in our area and farmers in general.
1. we need some fungicides but the gov and industry wont have short term patterns. Canola seed and round up should be off by now. Hell its a licence to take for life.
2. farmers do all the hard work get the peanuts. True or false. Last time I went to phoenix the house of the Chem head fert family or equipment family was lets just say a lot bigger than the farmers I visited.
3. Equipment needs a reset button. We need one new drill as it has lots of acres on it not looking new any more dealing on two year old system.
4. Tractors and combines and all equipment is out of lunch as far as price.
5. Yes 15 years we have had water issues and if some of you are having them this year think how would I handle 5 10 or 15 years of this shit. You think retirement you think exit you think existence. But you also try something new each year to win over the floods. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
6. Holliday, give me a fricking break. Some of you don't realize that people actually can find deals out there, people actually purchase shit when others are going down. USA 2008. Flights on Visa points for fuel. You eat at home you cook on holidays. Travel see stuff its a great big world. Live in your little shit hole part of Saskatchewan you miss out on a lot.
7. Grain industry with grades is a great big screw up. Taking grain from Alberta and having east Sask sit and wait on contracts with no penalty is bullshit. But that is our system.
8. You cant tell me all in AG outside the farmer don't make out like bandits at our expense. We do all the work for a little scrap left at the end of the day they take the gravy.
9. Wealth has moved from NE to Sw in Sask thanks to Rain and Lentils. Caused by Excess rain and costs.
10. Again its just ag in general if you think all points above are wrong good every one has a opinion. Just look and think outside of the box AG is a money maker for all and farmers get the scraps. Yes they give us enough rope so we just don't hang our selves but that's all.
So yea Ill continue to post I'm not sure why some always take a swipe over and over when all I'm saying is what I feel most normal farmers feel about AG deep down in there gut.
Have a great day We only had a inch so maybe the rain gods have blessed some others and finally the floods will have moved on.

Also furrow I like that your trying different things and showing that some things companies preach is wrong. I don't cut you down and say gee why did you buy a new quad or a couch for your house or a truck or take a trip. I don't give a shit what you buy or do. ITs Agriculture and farmers against them. That's my point. They love when farmers fight amongst them selves.

Sf3

As usual.... well said.

Not enough guys tell the middleman to ****off once in a while.

I am maybe partly socialist but the parasites can't feed on the host forever.

[sumdumguy]

SF3, instead of spending money on a new drill, you may want to buy a GPS contolled land leveller because drainage is key. On the Wascana flats, 1/2 would be drowned out right now if not for land sculpting. Farmers got together and now they reap the rewards. Why is that not being done in knob and kettle terrain?

[SASKFARMER]

I live in Regina and yes some drainage ditches work great other area where landowner was a A Hole or stupid jelous things either never were finished or done. Yea 2010 really took the water away.
Sc****rs cut with gps fine
