"continue using Ag Stab the most useless program out there. "


So where were your posts when Ritz Cracker and Closet Boy gutted Ag Stab, Ag Invest, PFRA and getting Tom4Tom's Seed Tax implemented?

No use bitching now on a farmer chat forum!

They took ag invest from 3 percent to one percent with a maximum....not much there anymore ..certainly not enough to fund a farm...

It was stupid to get rid of the PFRA...I haven't figured the logic there ...Goodale wants to re-instate something similar....he should before its too late...WSA is a useless outfit...

The seed tax started long ago ...not much happening there ...they are waiting for the outrage to cool....and implement it then...

Yerry is , was, and will forever be a buffoon....surprised he hasn't got a board seat yet although most might know he is stupid....

The Trudeau/Liberal "ATTITUDE" is probably the worst thing that could have happened to our International relations. Canadians aren't the only ones who hate him! Even with the "excess" grain in the world, had there been reciprocal respect between trading partners I doubt the fall-out would have been as severe.

Oh, and those farms that are too big to buy as a unit can be sold the same way they were built....piece by piece! But in some cases, since so much dirt will be on the market at the same time in a concentrated area....some off those pieces may not sell for the same price paid to buy them!

China bought so much Vancouver and Toronto property its sick.

The US wont stand for China buying up resources on its doorstep. They don't care too much about condos but if China starts owning Canada resources and setting up shop here, US will step in. Trump even put clauses in the new NAFTA to that effect. And maybe that's the best case scenario for us anyway. its probably coming one way or another.

I said this before, there is some underlying play going on in Canadian ag that I don't see. Either consolidation to create huge tracts for sale, or bets on food security either due to climate problems or break down in the world order. Canada would be a ripe place for this to happen because of our location and our weak leaders.

Big farms that have huge debt can go down. When the bank gets nervous shit goes sideways. Even if your accountant keeps telling you your in the top 5% of farmers. Rent and buy some more

It won't be the big boys going under .....they will force the 3500 to 5000 acre guys out first too make the big guys get bigger...look at RBA ....those farms selling with that type of machinery have to be 5000 acres...

A newer semi, a 66 foot bourgault, grain cart , 4 wheel drive at 450 hp, a couple MFWD and a couple newer combines....thats a 4000 acre farm selling....

In free market capitalism isn't capital supposed to flow without restrictions to find its highest efficiency?

From January 1 to now the price of canola has went from $11 to $9.80, hard red has went from $7.60 to $6.60, CPS wheat has went from $6.80 to $5.30. Yellow peas really haven't changed much. Certainly not a price trend that creates optimism. Justin Trudeau's flaccid performance on the trade file certainly isnt helping.

I wish some of you would study the art of farming big.

One blanket loan agreement everything is included plus personal guarantees.
So you appear to pay cash but it’s a huge line.

Two buy land each year paying just more than last year.

Three create s bunch of farms so insurance is one block one block. Give it every thing because your covered.


Lease or own equipment flopping each year because you can’t afford to fix.

Have a accounting firm who knows Ag stab and private and work yields and expenses between so one pays.

Get told your doing great 👍 top 5% in area. Morning pump you up so you rent and buy more. Your special and you should go bigger of go home.

Hire more men and keep the party going.

Finally all works till some bean counter in Toronto wakes up and says Houston we have a problem.

No one wants small independent farms. To tough to control.

Sheep are better.

Not when there is a hostile socialist communist govt backing it that doesn't allow reciprocal investment. Then you use your trade leverage to block like Trump is doing.
