So .....I am a selfish farmer....hahaha

I started to think the claims from the thread were getting a little bit exaggerated so I had to look for myself. You are correct.
Truth is stranger than fiction.

We only speak truths here....


the others trying to convince us of a seed tax are the ones with the problem of telling the truth. ...

[SASKFARMER3]

The truth is this is a seed tax.

The little F#$Khead in the picture is probably a daddy's boy who wants to play with the big dogs.

Truth hurts some peoples feelings, well this farmer really doesn't give a shit what others think. It's an F#$King seed tax to promote bullshit.

ITs not just new varieties that have helped yield,

maybe 40 years direct and no-till seeding.

Fungicides, Better less spray, Shorter varieties From USA Northern.

Organic matter that's climbing.

Less Roundup than years ago.

Proper drainage.

New tec.

Gps, Variable rate, soil test. Drones etc.

These are all things we have done in the last 40 years.

Useless organizations that don't have a FE$RKing Clue.

Zero! Idea.

Almost just as Insane as the Farmers Union guys. Only I'm thinking way dumber.

Kevin Hursh has an opinion in the western producer....sure he can make sense of it....wait until his Mustard seed goes to 70 bucks an acre and yield jumps to 45 bpa ....see what happens to his mustard checkoffs and prices....

In a bizarre world you would think guys wouldn't keep buying into feeding the world nonsense....but they hook the next generation by the nobility of it all....

Look the world has been starving for as long as I can remember and I fell for the feeding the world crap....even enjoyed listening to the song once in awhile....but here's the take away from the nonsense ....non of those people are making an effort to feed the world anymore .....farmers in western Canada are....


Trudeau hands out billions to help the worlds less fortunate ...money for nothing...another good song.....you guys see the connection.....and sacrifices western canadian farmers in the process....


This ****ing dummy running Canada would probably send help/money to Argentina and other south american countries to help clear the land ....not seeing the the end result....other than hating western canada even more..

Any support of a seed tax only shows how ignorant people are of the end result....

The reason people defending the seed tax shouldn't have been there is because they have been lobbying for this for a decade as was said....they have had their turn with the government....

Now its farmers turn to say NO....and I think there is a majority here to say its unwanted...

UHM..uh ...gasp....that other bitch....Mother Nature....has a tremendous amount of input...forest fires by lightning...smoke now is an input....wonder when they will tax that.....


I will tell this story about durum again....its very relevant...

2016 used saved durum seed ....result FUZZ
2017 used the same bin for seed...1cwad...
2018 used 2017 seed...1cwad until mother nature shut us down for 5 weeks ended up 2/3/4 cwad
But a 5cwad with 10% FUZZ was worth as much as 1cwad.....

In none of these years would a seed tax helped me....mother nature played the cards in 2016 & 2018


2019 will use some new seed don't know what variety yet...

Bucket, do you have a link to the article?

I can't believe it, well I can believe it, just didn't think they were so out of touch.

The simplest way is to go to WCWGA website and look at the december newsletter...

They will love all this extra web traffic. They will be able to spin it into a popularity vote. LOL

[SASKFARMER3]

Oh, yea I can see it now.

Our website was dominated this last week by interested farmers who support our position and agree we are on the correct path.

Those that oppose are very few old washed up farmers.

Ah, the art of the spin.

[sawfly1]

That is a pretty good one you found
Bucket.

Almost makes you gag.

Esp. When you consider the seed
Co.s want the same tolls and controls in developing countries.

We are not short of food.
We are short of people with enough
$ to buy it.

SO seed taxing ,just means the
Cost went up for the poor ,
And the net for the producer
Went down.

If it really was about goodness
Of the heart ,

Then free up these super varieties to the public after 15 years.
To the benefit of the world and
It's poorest .

Ya right. Like that will happen anytime
Soon.....

Then there's the graduates of the sponsor who put on the Syngenta's Grower University 1 & 2....

Or the guy who rents out his farm and still wants to represent farmers, for ****'s sake you stepped back and took most of your skin ouf of the game! Seed tax will really hurt you, eh?

[SASKFARMER3]

It really shows just put the primary producer in the last spot.

It's like the mob give cash gifts to all along the way so they support the final outcome.

We were played again, farmers.

It's a Tax!
