Name something socialist said wouldnt work

[bucket]

I will say this.....somewhere in the middle there was a workable solution for all farmers.....

More info as to what the industry was doing and some accountability along with coordination of movement....


But that's not going to happen ....

Sk3 you got a store memory!

Nov 12 tread started by Sk3, 50 posts, 3229 views. Didn't read to many positive posts on there regarding current wheat prices or grades.

Waiting for all the posters from the above Sk3 thread to come on here cheering how great it really is right now!

To think there were no games being played while the CWB was in existence would be incredibly naive!

The only games being played during CWB years was by the Americans.

OK... I guess you've placed yourself quite firmly into the naive camp.

In my opinion he would never make it on this farm with 25 percent down land is to over valued .

There have been very few periods in history when you could make a go of it with 25% equity.

In my experience, those with 25% equity are on an elevator ride down to the bottom.

It was awhile ago, but there has been very few periods in history when you could make a go of it with 25% equity.

FCC/AFSC gladly taking dad's and granddad's equity so that the only real equity the borrower has is the principle payment they make every year and the logarithmic appreciation. Hell, FCC and AFSC are so damned sure that past results are indicative of future returns, that they don't even require proof of crop insuance as a condition of loan approval anymore!

Working with other family members? Using their equipment in return for labor?

There are exceptions, but truthfully that isn't really a stand alone operation with 25% equity, which I think was the question.

Biggest socialist failure was the CWB

Next was the Sask Land bank scheme that was the biggest destroyer of personal wealth in Sask history!!!

I had good strong NDP neighbors around me when i started farming that thought selling their land to the government and then renting it back from the government was a good business decision.
30 years later its funny watching these same guys scrambling trying to buy back this same land from the government so they could turn around and sell it after the price of land went up. After renting it for almost nothing they thought it was so unfair that the government wanted market price.

Chucky a good socialist like you must have got in on a deal like that?

Looking at the title of this thread: did you realize you put “socialist” and “work”in the same sentence?
