Not sure why when I look at land prices why I stay in this bloodsucking business...

I think we both know, and it isn't for the risk and stress free easy money.....pretending it is anything else is doing a disservice to........

I don't know your angle grass but ignorance sure is part of it. FFS wholesale and retail prices are supposed to move in lockstep. Do you think the wholesale price of anything else is the same as it was 40 fing yrs ago. Food prices are 100% manipulated.

Speaking of ignorance, do you even realize you buy retail and sell a raw wholesaled primary product? Any guesses how much of your crop input expense is attributed to staffing, trucks, and advertising to sell that retail product convincing you to buy it?

Probably not - business doesn't seem to be his strong point. Electrical utility lines either.

I see both Tweety's argument and Jazz's both are valid.
But I would bet the percentage of what we get paid out of that retail dollar has shrunk.....everything else aside.

But that's coming from a grade twelve graduate with a Master's in Ignorance from the School of Hard Knocks.

Nephew is 16, works stocking shelves at Sobey's in Winnipeg. He is a budding environmentalist and all about being green and recycling. Just about has a stroke every night when he has to throw out the produce with blemishes and food that has hit it's best before date. They fill a dumpster every single night. And if you have a issue with throwing it out, you are fired on the spot. I wonder what wholesale food value is dumped in the bin every night. Oh yeah, retail is where the money is.

Lets let grass and tweety save the world. They know it all obviously. No problem with double digit inflation on the retail side and zero on the production side that will all work out in their socialist world.

And our entire RM and 3 adjacent ones were buried in 1985-89. Guess the program ran out of money before it got to your place probably because the NDP came in.

It is when you're buying in cents and selling in dollars.

Too bad you can't understand the difference between retail products and raw wholesale products.
