Cutting Loses...

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.

Go replicate a bunch of scientific plots a hundred times and quit wasting time on here.
you have absolutely no idea what risk is ....at all tweety

[tweety]

So all you can do is whine and complain about how bad you have it, and that i don't and don't know what risk is.

Interesting.

You have the best career on the planet.

[furrowtickler]

No you do , take absolutely zero risk and take hard working people's money ..
I can't believe your in the industry

[GOODRUM]

Yea, all these ****ing subsidies go directly into a term deposit, or do they go to buy fertilizer , overpriced canola seed and machinery, accountants .
Look who is buying who out to control the market with our subsidies .
Why do we need cash advances??
I said it before we are the ones being farmed,

[furrowtickler]

I will tell you what Tweety , go buy land right now at 2500-3000 an acre , even just 1000 ac . Then go buy inputs for $300 / ac , work 20 hrs a day to get it in and spray it, then harvest whatever you may get . Two years even with the great subsidies you think we get and you will be done crying in a gutter in two years

Twatty is the typical canadian socialist who is so jealous of Everyone who is more successful and smarter than him or her that they have to resort to lies and bullshit to hide their inferiority to make themselves feel better.

....back to less personal attacks. I recall the crop of 2015...it kinda started the same way for us and it wasn't very good. I just want to touch on the in crop herbicide spraying thing. We gave it what it needed. ...low spots that had adequate moisture to germinate volunteers from the year before required the usual herb app. But of course the whole field gets it. The higher and drier spots of the field couldn't germ the weeds or volunteers early enough to benefit from the spraying. So when it finally did rain, look out, here they came. When we cut the ripe crop the green undergrowth made the fields look green again. This might be playing out the same again...heaven forbid any worse. You know, this whole economic and climatic environment is beginning to feel more and more like the mid eighties early nineties to me. Those weren't fun times...expensive land had a price correction and yields were crappy coupled with poor prices. At least now prices of some grain commodities are pretty decent....for now anyway. Stakes are allot higher too though. Per acre crop inputs(fixed and variable)now probably totalling half of what land was worth back then. ....and the dirt really isn't worth what it's selling for today either. Any bets on where it might be headed?

So its true, misery loves company.

Not a single farmer doing well enough financially, enjoying what they do on this entire forum? It certainly is WhinerVille then.

[farmaholic]

Thats right tweety.... so don't be fooled by misery and heartache when combined they present themselves as an opportunity in Ag.

Best not to hang around here too long, don't want to be dragged down to our level, do you?

[tweety]

Seriously farma, you don't love what you do? You'd rather be in an office? Or helping customers decide what color floor tile they should choose? Or selling something to a farmer for way more then they can afford?

Really?

Have to agree with you there tweety. The majority of farmers on here would be millionaires if they sold out, yet the constant negativity by usually the same ones. How many wage earners retire millionaires? Not many. I'm talking blue collar workers. Not corp. execs. Farming can be risky. The greater the risk, the greater the reward. If you don't like farming, sell out and go work at tim horton's. For me, farming is a good life.
