Trump and farmers

[bucket]

Try getting this kind of support in Canada with the India tarrif on pulses.....


"""....To shield farmers from feeling the brunt of China’s tariff action, the Trump*administration is considering direct payments through the Commodity Credit Corporation analysts say.....""""""


Can't even think about it here in Canada for the short term pain with pulses.....

Know we have an I D I O T playing a PM.

India kicked us in the nuts full bore and will come back with a second round of full blockage of our product.

We have a railroad system that totally screwed farmers in Canada all winter. Crushed us.

And not a word from that useless piece of skin.

It's sad but like I said before you sleep better when you finally realize in your farming carrier no one gives an F#$King shit about you MR Farmer, we may need you to make our Billions but your replaceable a new generation will fill your shoes and continue this bullshit.

It's sad really.

USA farmers will continue to live and feed people and the country will support them.

Think direct payments would be a step backwards in government assistance to agriculture.
As much as some despise them, present government subsidized risk management programs are preferable, especially from trade standpoint.

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh, yea in boy scout Canada lets worry about how well we do trading.

One of our main crops is killed thanks to political games in another country. We should have hit that useless country with everything.

Bang dead but farmers are supposed to pull up their bootstraps and continue and our PM pisses away billions to other useless and ill say it shit hole countries and his friends all for a seat in the UN.

Sad and farmers believe the bullshit.

It is business. No one cares any more for your problems than a widget mftg. Sad commentary on the times.

[the big wheel]

Meanwhile USA farmers collect and are not negatively affected?

Sometimes fk the agreements if your getting screwed why is it we farmers are the ones that have to play nice?

He better hand out big time to the farmers they out him in and all his deals are sxrewing them and the common worker.

[SASKFARMER3]

I agree agstar with you but again if it was the liberal darling Bombardier wow open up to let it rip we have to continue to help.

Railways failed us this last winter, nothing.

PM failed us the last year nothing.

Trade groups failed us.

Not a peep.

To buy votes he Let illegals in with open arms from the USA wow how stupid is that

[agstar77]

You do not have enough votes. Not for the liberals or any other party. Those days are gone. You do not have the lobbyists of the rail companies. The grain companies are complicit since they can pass on the costs to you.There might have been a voice but you killed it.

Those business risk programs have to be at least effective and dependable with a hope responsiveness.....not like the Ag Stab of the last five years.

Or affordable at a reasonable level of coverage for the premium being paid.....unlike for first time entrants into them(crop insurance) with available reliable data from companion programs that could be used to assess the "insurer's" risk.

Blanket ad hoc funding seems to be a thing of the past. Focus seems to have somewhat shifted to individual need rather than treating everyone the same and making payments based on only units...... bushels or acres.

I guess AgInvest hardly fits that description....but is really only chump change in the grand scheme of things anyway.

[Hopalong]

Maybe Trump could take a look back at our populist Diefenbaker government of 1950s.
Brought in a direct payment to mollify disgruntled prairie farmers.
Was a dollar an acre to a maximum of $200.
Based on wheat board permit book cultivated acres.
Those were the days.
