Fj, we have had a great crop freeze Aug 15 , 2004 , lost 90% to hail 2000, drought in 87, 88, then 2001,through 2003 , root rot 2014, spring frost 2006,2007,2010,20015 - we have had a pail of shit thrown at us as well. Been there , just not the same shit creek as some .
I get tired of some of the "we are worse than you" - there is always someone worse off than you somewhere - gaureteed
I hope things get better for all of you - or move to Iowa or wherever if you can't make er. Some of us have been through as much shit as anyone in farming anywhere, some I agree a bit more but *** me , I bitch as much as anyone at times but your in or out after so long .
S/F - same thing again - I will bet $1000 that there are thousands far worse than you in Sask alone this year - hands down , I will even double up . Way Fukin wetter. I will take you there . I will show you 11 1/4's that were farmed for 40 years swallowed up by a lake from Mother Nature 20 miles south on two farms just 20 miles south . It's not just you, it fj or whoever , but it comes across like some of you are the only ones in western Canada with issues and as soon as someone else here brings up issues its - "but we are and have been way worse " - well *** that - your still farming - many are gone from many other areas strictly due to Mother Nature.
Sorry , but sometimes I gota vent at boo hoo - but this year will be very difficult for a very very big area far worse than guys like S/F -by a very long shot .
Some of you may be wet - but many will be totally fuked on over 80% of their farm , not 20 or 30% .
I know guys with 80% of total crop loss - is yours ?????
