friday thank you notes

[bucket]

Thank you again to saskpulse for believing that pulse growers don't need an adhoc payment while every other industry gets funding....dairy is currently working on another one....AGT has 117 million for a used railway they won't have in shape this year...

All the stabilization money should just be dumped into crop insurance and municipal hail. They arent perfect programs but at least they are bankable when you need them.

Thank you to Pulse canada who receives 1.8 million from saskpulse checkoff and doesn't have to file a public annual report....

And receives taxpayers dollars as well...

[tubs]

no way Jazz crop insurance does not work here

[bucket]

Crop insurance is individual crops....others including agristabilty are whole farm insurance schemes....

So if one crop does well and another doesn't they don't pay....

If one crop is garbage in crop insurance at least they pay on individual crop disasters...

Not promoting crop insurance just pointing out some differences ....but it is still a poor program...when you look at the changes in farming over the last decade...and the way they average it out..

Thank you Trudeau for exempting the LNG project from carbon taxes upstream or downstream ....isn't that what killed the energy east pipeline????

Ya but out east can't have exemption for oil because there already is human waste flowing in the water.

Farma

Don't quote me FF, BUT the Ag Stab trigger has changed back to something more realistic of actually being able to collect benefits.

Dropped out immediately after The Ostrich farmer gutted Ag Stab!

Are you telling me that the Liberals have amended Ag Stab? IF that's the case it's sure been quite on Agriville. I'll never go back regardless!

"All the Stabilization should be dumped into crop insurance"

What makes you an expert on which AG safety net program is best suited for each individual farming enterprise? Why can't they all have function simultaneously as they were set up to do?

Oh shit I forgot you would go along with what ever your beloved Harper and Ritz have done, regardless if it was good for your own farm or not.

Ideology is so powerful!

What makes you an expert on which AG safety net program is best suited for each individual farming enterprise?

Because I have been through the iterations of ag stability when it was CASE and whatever before that and the hoops my accountant had to jump through just to get a measly payment out of those programs is a joke. Crop insurance is a known quantity. It has paid me instantly when there were disasters. Its the only program that works even if imperfect.

And crop insurance can be tailored to each operation quite a bit now.

And I said this before, if there is ever an ad hoc payment, its going to be done through crop insurance so it entices everyone to be part of the program. Thats the only safety net we are going to get. This dream of bailouts from the feds is just that - a dream. We have no voting clout even when conservatives are in power.

Jazz our premium to have crop insurance at 70% is about 14% so for 200 dollars cost is about 28 dollar that is not doable I just want insurance just for disasters.

Thank you to Harper for gutting Agri Stability that would cover lentil growers for drastic price drops. Tit!
