Cutting Loses...

Then do something else. Why would you live your life suffering financially farming when there are so many great opportunities out there, opportunities much more lucrative and easy?

No one is making you farm.

Farming is a disease, a chronic ailment, once infected few recover. An addiction(hence my username). And like so many other diseases or addictions it is hereditary or learned by being raised in the environment. I don't know if they found a cure for it yet, at the very least total abstention is a must.

Who in their right mind would subject themselves to what a farmer does? Such a valuable "service" to fellow humankind all to get so readily beat up at every turn. It definitely takes a special kind of person to endure this kind of treatment. It's not always bad but allot of stars can line up against you, both natural and human. The rewards MUST out weigh punishment, why else would people continue to do it.

Good luck and take care to anyone out there who chooses to do this, it isn't for the faint of heart.

I will feel the full brunt of the risk I took, as most of you know I am not in Crop Insurance, AgStab-me-in-the-back is absolutely gutted, token AgInvest money will "help" but could fall well short of shoring up any losses, allot of producers don't even have an AgInvest balance to rely on...been used to cashflow the operation. The self-insure cushion could quite a bit thinner after this crop. Many operations don't have millions in equity to draw on...Operation's balance sheets may not look so good, for all sorts of reasons and the duration of the causes...

Farming is a tough gig....but it's still on the early side, not wrote off yet!

Tweety is a small minded troll on this site I bet he wouldn't have the balls to speak face to face with a real farmer and say this crap. He probably still lives in his parents basement and has no idea of the real world.

We drove from Regina to Big River and back yesterday. We stopped numerous places along the way in search of the elusive "Morel Mushroom". The bush floor crackled under our feet at every stop. There were no sopping wet leaves where we went. Combines were picking up Canola 2016 swathes east of Big River. I didn't see any grain carts in the fields. There were a few seeding outfits spewing dust and few fields left to seed, but that was at 110 kliks and off the highway. We met some young Kindersley farmers on their way to Missinipi to fly out of. Good luck to all my Agriville friends this week. Remember there are trolls on every site and they get their jollies from being a pain in the sracca.

Twatty's next post will be a demand for data to prove what you said.....complete waste of skin.

But you fall for it every time. Farmers are so predictable, which is why retailers are so successful.

Some canola brands have free reseed. Something to consider the value of.

CaseIH, you were quite specific you were talking about yourself, and how difficult it was.

Maybe Tweety is from the "soft WOOD" lumber industry and is looking for the govt's little blue pill. Oh geez, there it is just under a billion in subsidy for them I see today, wellll doggy. Hmmm, I don't want any subsidies to any industry but CRA sure knows where to find a fella in the good years to pay for all the other industries subsidies.

You better come and try to farm here , i'll show you what risk is. Crop ins works for 1 year maybe 2 after that youre ****ed . Agristability is totally ****ing useless. If you were a farmer you would already know that . There is no ****ing other business that would assume this kind of risk . the only reason were still all around is because we dont pay ourselves 50 ****ing dollars an hour like everyone else gets and like you probably get whereever you work telling people how to do it

Seems pretty whiney to me.

Farming is subsidized, everything from capital gains, to tax cuts to GST returns, crop insurance, marked fuel for your escalade..... Never said it was the most, but if you manage with fiscal responsibility there are enough programs and benefits that can pretty much ensure survival.

Tell your story to a guy that builds houses, or any retail business just how hard you have it. Ask them about their insurance programs and tax exemptions. Reality check time.

There is no sweeter gig then farming.
