Beating on this old drum again. Wondering how ag is going to get more efficient with structural inefficiency caused by government regulation and the FCC handing too much money out to Hutt colonies to bid up asset prices and raise the cost of production.

[bucket]

We can make it up with volume. ...right?

[furrowtickler]

fcc should concentrate on collecting their bad debts from pike and friends !

Agreed , rather than tell the rest of us what to do 👎👎

[iceman]

Need to expand to lower the fixed costs. Lol

[furrowtickler]

Does FCC finance Poplar Trees 🌳? Lol

[furrowtickler]

I wonder if FCC is financing the land / bush clearing deal in Ontario?
Seems like they will finance big B/S scams but not real down to earth AG ??

[biglentil]

Yes that will be their solution for us as always diversification or is it doworsification.

Lol .. true
Always amazes me when non farmers try to tell us what we should be doing ...
I have not farmed for ever , but long enough to hear financial experts , politicians and Ag stiffs try to tel us to diversify into trees, lamas , cattle , ostrich, chicken , hogs , bees , this or that. Like we should have to do 100 things at once just to raise a family while these “experts “ have one job , do *** all but tell us what we should be doing . It actually funny. Not one of those asshats have worked a 18 hr day in their life let alone a 8.5 hr day lol.
Diversify .. really?? Western Canada grows 5 types of Wheat , Canola , Barley, peas , lentils , soybeans, oats , canary seed , black beans , sugar beats, alfalfa, corn , hay ... and are the world leading exporters of several of those ... we should tell them to get get trained for 4 to 5 jobs and be experts at all of them and for less pay ... sorry but *** them .
Oh and be welders, chemists , agrologists, water technicians, mechanics, engineers, soil experts, crop diagnostic experts , carpenters , etc all in one. But demand to be a price taker and be more efficient...... 🙄
Sorry for the rant but “experts” and people in finance need their heads checked once in a while . Most would be broke in one year of actually farming .
What ever happened to the billionaire that was invested into One Earth ? He was going to make er .... lol

[furrowtickler]

Ahh , Sprott .
Could not bet against him ... lol lol . He was going to show us the way and could not fail . Well where is he now ..
Anyway , point is don’t count out the generational farm , and don’t ignore it FCC, most of us are still here for a reason and will be for a long time .

I didn’t realize Hutts borrow money.

[farmaholic]

Point well made furrow! The only ****en reason family farms exist or are usually successful "longterm" is because most generational farmers are willing to do exactly what you described. As I mentioned before, farming is a business that most business rules can't be applied to. Layers and layers of management, inability to pass on increased costs, pay to have anything done that you could do yourself, insanely capital intensive, too high a risk.

[furrowtickler]

Maybe we should tell FCC to buy all of us out at 4 X assessment and see how they make out with more “diversification “ lol
Most likely end up with Sprott and Pike in the Cayman Islands or on the Panama papers list .

When Harper and company removed the limit on crop ins ,that declared open season on us smaller family farms that were content to make a living doing what we loved. The banks kept the greedy ambitious ones under control as they wouldn't lend on anything over insurable, now its game on ,get all you can its someone else money, no more table stakes. Hard to stay in the game when sky is the limit.

Furrow it's not quite the same but similar to the old saying - "Those who can, do, those who can't teach."
