The idea Brad Wall had about funding the cleaning up abandoned oil wells?


How about funding the cleanup of an abandoned crop?

I take that as a sarcastic remark after what our AG minister said the other day????

Most farms have lost 100's of thousands in quality downgrades already....

But what is left can't be much better than feed or thats what the graincos will be buying it as ....no sense in doing a falling number at the elevators..


Or better yet maybe the CGC could use some of that 140 million dollar slush fund and do their job .....

Shaded area is Ritz tenure as Ag Minister...

If someone..Mr. Weber....could go back and show what the dad's and grandpa's got for farm support through the generations of farming in this country ..

....maybe the younger generation that think making it up on feed wheat volume would be enlighten them somewhat and realize it might be the payments from previous generations that are allowing them to speak so phucking stupid about not wanting an adhoc....

Canada's farms cannot use equity to compete with treasuries of nations...or as I read this morning ...we ......(canada's farms )....are collateral damage in the current trade environment...

But think about this statement ....why do 50000 acre farms need a retailer in your local community...make your grocery list for the farm input and it will be delivered...

Farmers have already agreed to the process of sending grain parallel to the railway tracks on pavement...with more volume than decades ago...

In reality the fertilizer should have been sent out by rail to the local community...

Its really about vision....do you want community...or 50000 to 150000 thousand acre farms ...

To the 10 foot and Bulletproof youngings.....you are not all CEO material ...whether you want to hear it or not....some of you are CEOs by acclamation not talent....

Wonder what crap insurance would say if we all walked in Oct 31 and only paid the percentage of our bill to what we’ve harvested??

[bucket]

I asked someone much smarter than me if the striking crown workers understand this....

the saskatchewan budget is 15 billion dollars and there is 10 billion still in the fields....

In my opinion if i was a crown worker....I would be happy to work in a warm building and receive something every second week without fail....just for showing up...

"How about funding the cleanup of an abandoned crop?"

Wiseguy, your suggestion of "match" is something a taxpayer could probably afford.

Interesting graph. The OECD has around 36 members if Wikipedia is correct.

It looks like Harper and Ritz really cut support for farmers. Why have other posters not pointed this out?

At the time many farmers were asking for market based solutions to their economic problems.

At 8-10% support for Canadian farmers gross receipts, that indicates that most farmers net income comes from taxpayers.

While we are well below the OECD average we can lay to rest the popular idea on Agriville that Canadian farmers are not subsidized.

Farm safety nets need to be improved to deal with disastrous years like this one. Increase the support for small to medium sized farms and cap the support for the large farms as that will keep more farmers on the land.

We don't need more subsidized mega farms gobbling up every available acre and putting small farmers out of business.

What’s small , what’s medium size ?
A medium farm is a 3000ac with one family .. but that is the same as 6000ac with two families, or 10,000 ac with three families .
Much like the CWB mentality, where everyone must be the same syndromes were born in Ag , you farm size needs much clarification.

Doesn't have to be based on acres can be based on gross income.

I don't think taxpayers want to subsidize 40 and 50 thousand acre farms.

Those details can be worked out once you set the objectives of farm subsidies.

In proportion a lot of the subsidies go to the biggest operations in the US and Canada.

If taxpayers are providing 10% of farmers incomes in this country then they should have a say in how this money is allocated and to whom.

[chuckChuck]

Bullshit! I just don't believe taxpayers should be subsidizing mega farms and bailing them out. We need more people in rural communities by supporting smaller and medium sized farms. Let the big ones survive in the marketplace on their own.

Where the phuck is all this subsidy money again?
And don’t say crop insurance, that has been debunked a hundred times on here and else where. In Sask we subsidize the province with this crap insurance scheme.
