Well another week and another week of not good news for producers of grain in Canada. It seems funny that the whole farming world is going completely nuts.
Yes most countries have increased production probably thanks to shit farmers in Canada started. Yes more are fertilizing and doing other things to improve production. But we also are seeing things that happened back in the 80s starting to show their ugly head. Countries playing games with trade. That my friends and enemies is the new problem. It started a few years ago with china playing games and screwing the markets for us but now you have on a daily basis Egypt and India and Italy and others playing games with Bullshit just to get cheaper product.
But we have farmers in Canada that believe like Trudeau that the Fairy princess will sprinkle fairy dust and all will be ok. Ha i say to many people suck the life out of us farmers each and every day. Just at the Agribition or Red Deer and every shit show product that only costs a few bushels is available to help you produce more. Most are snake oil products. Buy more equipment farm more to pay the price. Up up and away. Some are falling for this bullshit hook line and sinker others are starting to ask questions.
I believe its time for most of us to start waking up and ask questions.
Some cry that its the way it is big supply and big issues and us good boy scouts farmers in canada should shut up sit tight and struggle on.
These are the same ones who probably sit on boards and have that do nothing attitude. Maybe we should quit letting morons run for boards and get real smart farmers on these. I don't know i am getting to old but we will loose another generation with the same brain dead attitude that all is good all is great were Canada and were special now struggle on.
Some say their is nothing Canada can do. HA i say look at South America or Russia and see who will serve us stupid Canadian farmers our lunch. China will build in some of these places roads railways etc to get product for the favour or cheaper grown food. We pay royalties and sing songs and pay pay pay to every single person in the chain yet the pennies are left for us. But we let it happen to us with the stupid attitude that all is great in Farming in Canada.
Again if your pulling the plug this winter is probably the time to do it.
If things don't change farming will go the way of the Dino and the natives will get back their grass land again. USA looks after their own and stands up for them. Russia stands up for theirs. China has so many poor they just have to keep them alive. India has poor and others but its a struggle and here well be next.
Producer groups that you cant even get your money back from any more are a problem. That tells me they don't care what farmers think because if some of us are pissed we vote with our wallet. Thats gone. So then you have these same people study the effects of the dodo bird on seed production probably. Meetings and meetings and discuss bullshit that does nothing.
So yea i wish one week i could write something that excites people with ag but its that time to load up on Chem Fert and Seed for 2018 are we happy yet.
Then you have a useless Carbon tax and Tax Changes that will effect all of us. Don't rose coat the facts it will increase your costs as a producer with no one to offset it with. Guess what your going to make way less in 2018. Yea were such great place to farm.
Have a safe week lets think long and hard and maybe do some traveling to see how other areas of the world work. Yea were starting to loose out to places that our grandfathers left for a better life.
