Farmers always talk about quitting until they realize that the only job opportunity for 50 something ex farmers is to compete with new Canuckistanians for long haul trucking. So farming it is. Truck driving is a worthwhile job unlike what many government employees do. Input suppliers know this. Some summer fallow is a viable option in many areas which is one option that will get attention. Around here may try some green fallow along with city sludge for some acres for next year. Selling some land and buying a GIC with some of the proceeds will be option. There are GIC's available for 3.5 and soon as high as 4% out there and some of the principle will be garranteed. Won't get that farming next year. That will also get input attention if anyone actually does it.

Why would I drive truck or work for a farmer. You should be able to have enough to not work again and golf is relaxing. F$&k in the bush, water or sand. Ah hole in one.

Well Sask once again your just over half right. Money can sure create tunnel vision, having it or not.

Ask for next year.
Rotationed out on canola.
Tired of Malt.
Leaves hrs and cps.
Peas have been excellent for me but in a specialty mkt and not huge acres. Built a bin project myself this year. Taking control of my inventory at last!! Right bucket?

Luckily will be forming an arrangement this winter to form a small conglomerate. Will really reduce the machine and labor costs. Saving enough for a living alone. Risk exposure reduced as well.

Looking forward to next year. More with less.
I never cut back on seed or fert just in case someone mentions that one.

Yea I did and if you know what I use yes you can change a few thing pennies make dollars. Fungicides out if dry that is a fact.

Seed we use just over 5 going to 4.5

With a few changes

Sad. Interest rates have been so low for so long.....we now think 4.25% GIC "LOCKED" in for three years is a good return.

Not judging...just saying.

[SASKFARMER3]

In those tests 4.75 years and your money doubled.

A mill and in 4.75 you had two.

Ah the good times.

But we lost a lot of guys and that was no good

Canola winter canola

[hobbyfrmr]

Hobby ! 👍

I didnt want to mention the 6 weeks in mexico, because the canola seed company pays our airfare.
Im thinking seed everything to canola every year until clubfoot sets in, then rent it out to a lentil and flax farmer and just live good on all those years of canola profit.
Legally nobody can tell me how to rotate my crops on my land. If I grow clubroot resistant varieties and spray some of that sclerotinia discouraging stuff , Im good for probably a decade.

The gic is 4.25 for 90 days then goes to 2.9 for the remaining 3 years !

Not interested !

Interesting "bait and switch" tactics and I'm sure the details are in the fine print somewhere or will be revealed when you ask for more details.

Interesting, our local cu has similar scam then, except lower rate and can only use "new money" they call it.
