What a vundervul story....the sad part is Canada has the product to help those poor people in India except the leadership of our country and theirs don't give a shit about poor people...

I listened to a wannabe candidate talk about the people that have to be fed in this world and I stopped him in his diatribe ...no leader wants to feed the world and I can't do it for free otherwise I end up like them....

Get off the nonsense that people are poor and not fed...that is a bad religion to follow like the climate emergency religion....

People could be fed...takes leadership....

Don't mean to move away from Tom's original post but I never said that they needed food. Heck there is surplus in India now. That why our product and most others is pretty well banned or severely restricted. Until the supply drops and or price goes up to the Indian farmer we aren't going to sell them much. Yes our current federal leaders have absolutely made a mess of the situation. Trudeau has handled it very poorly. That being said we have no food shortages in the world. Farmers do too good of a job in increasing supply for the masses. We would have to see serious shortages before the world really changes in their attitudes.

Then why are people starving in Yemen , Africa and other places and I still see ads for helping them...

India isn't immune from it either...

Its a lack of leadership, not a lack of production....but I think what the leadership is concerned with is there would be a production shortfall if they actually fed the starving...

And besides TOM is just rubbing it in knowing he has enough seed to sell next year for all the guys that will be short seed in the spring if they get this sprouted crop off....big $$$$$$$...I would be thanking everyone as well...

Yes I agree about Africa. IMO the world has essentially written off a lot of the countries over there. Somalia gave the US issues (Black hawk down affair), Canada (Airborne Regiment incident), Rwandan genocide, Yemen civil war, the list goes on and on. The tide of migrants flooding Europe and the west is an obvious result of the collapse of the countries. Religious and tribal wars will keep Africa down for a long time yet.

From Wikipedia
Thanksgiving (French: Action de grâce), or Thanksgiving Day (French: Jour de l'Action de grâce), sometimes called Canadian Thanksgiving to distinguish it from the American holiday of the same name, is an annual Canadian holiday, occurring on the second Monday in October, which celebrates the harvest and other blessings of the past year.



Notice it says to celebrate the harvest, well since harvest is not completed for a good portion of those that do the harvesting and since agriculture seemingly has no voice or place in the urban policy debate that we call elections anymore maybe Thanksgiving should be postponed or cancelled outright this year maybe that would get a little attention. I'm sorry everyone the harvest is not complete in the country so we cannot have thanksgiving this year no free day off urbanites ,back to work.
After all why ever should the city folks even get to celebrate a "harvest" celebration when most of them have zero connection to the land or a clue that the very thing they are "celebrating" hasn't even been completed.

The harvest is discouraging no question. But I thought of Cotton today (we were going through a similar harvest in 16) and am reminded we have much to be thankful for. Even in the midst of this horribly frustrating run of weather take the time to reach out if you think someone is struggling beyond the normal complaining about the weather.
