"On average the Crop report gets over a 1000 lookers every week. 6 to 10 post whats happening in their area. "


I suppose you think that the three prairie provinces are using your weekly report to compile information they put out from their Ag Departments. Or that input companies are making decisions on pricing and inventory from what you putting in your report. Sk3 your so humble!!!



The majority people who come to this site that don't post are here for nothing more than the entertainment. I' m sure they get a kick from all the debating that goes on here about politics, climate change and immigration. Just reread the treads the majority of them end up with some sort of political comment.

The majority posters on here are staunch Con/Reform supports who attack any poster of a different view of theirs just knowing they have the numbers to do debating for their cause. Why would any person with a different opinion from the majority base bother post on Agriville only to get torn apart??

I hate all political parties equally.

I'd gladly pay off ten times the per person attributed Canadian-Sask debt if the next batch would stop blowing our wealth chasing jobs that disappear in down turns.

Wall is so wrong on not getting a healthy resource share. Trudeau is just so wrong on so many levels.

There you go. I just pissed everyone off on AV.

I don't post very often but will read the threads on my phone when I have a minute.

I learn a lot and enjoy hearing everyone's opinions.

Some of you guys must be pretty good at typing, I peck away with two fingers.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I've been following for a couple years. Enjoy the personalities on here. Likely read it more often this fall and added a few posts, mostly because misery loves company. Pretty stressful harvest for most of us and a bunch of farmers that understand the challenges is comforting.

There have been some useful conversations on here and definitely some to skip over, often the same fight from the week before.

From a marketing perspective it's pretty important to get a feeling of yield, quality and timing from other areas, definitely like that aspect.

Even non farmers can add value for us all. Errol Anderson and previously Charlie Pearson are good examples of great info. Don't mean you have to agree with them always but more insight the better.

Agree the made up handles are an excuse to behave poorly, I gotta respect the folks that have the balls to put there name with their statements.

Hamloc is my farm name and comes from being a hog producer for 25 years, a career that ended in 2007. I now grain farm and have black angus beef cows with my family. Forage is certainly correct I am a financial conservative with more middle of the road social views. I think to a great extent farmers tend to be financially conservative through necessity. I have a trucker who considers himself a small L Liberal, we have great debates while loading grain, in the end sometimes we agree sometimes we disagree but it is always a fun and spirited debate. My wife always tells me I would argue black is white lol.

Oh how haters hate, hey Forage.

The friday crop report was started because the original crop reporters used by sask ag and food were farmers who really didn't have any skin in the game. Retired guys with a few acres. I tried when I stopped working for Sask Ag and Karwandi at the time said No they have good reporters.

So when That is why on Agriville I post the crop report and really it went from 400 to 800 to almost 1200 now. So yea people are reading about real farmers and the struggles of planting growing and harvesting a crop. We don't live in the Canola dome where every thing is peachy and nice with sugar plum fairies.

We live in Saskatchewan where mother nature rules the roost.

So yea you can say no one looks at it and its just entertaining. Thats your opinion.

I think some are watching.

Because the BS the Man, Sask, and Alberta try to sell is sent to give every one a warm fuzzy feeling.

Have a great day. Might even fire up the combine and do another field of Barley for another neighbour.

Farmers helping farmers!

Sorry ...it wasn't my intent to offend anyone ... just curious as to the traffic here.

The one problem with writing ...it can be interpretted different ways.

Writing has no emotion other than the way it is understood by the reader. Facial expressions while talking to people in person or tones while on the phone say more.


Still am curious as to where people enjoying this site are from and why they don't join in a conversation.

I have quit feeling foolish for asking devils advocates questions....it promotes thought.

[furrowtickler]

I will have to agree we the Sask Ag report being bogus at times . August 2004 was a good example, I still remember that one like it was yesterday. Local patchy frost in a few low lying areas was the official word after the province wide devastating killing frost that cost farmers billions. Hardly a word was said after the fact. I lost a lot of respect from that point on.

Bogus is the ag survey that asks to pick three out of five issues....statistically it will be all 5 as issues....why ask farmers what they need with a predetermined outcome?

[malleefarmer]

im only here to add international flavour and many of australian grain growing issues mirror yours.

We moved on without single desk in a reasonably orderly way wereas you guys are finding your feet still.

Yeah its more of a general farming board/blog rather than specific commodity page but who cares and despite odd argument its way way more civil than many other sites that i do not visit you have to be "in" to even get a response only other site i use is combine forum many many ausssies on there
