Name something socialist said wouldnt work

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

Thanks ...the problem with the industry is that it won't attract the youth it needs over time other than to be a worker on a large farm....there isn't enough incentive to farm unless you have a farm background to begin with.....and even if you look at the RBA catalog there are generation farms packing it in....

Guess you aren't old enough to remember restricted quota deliveries. Or getting 70% of US prices converted to canuck bucks. Or watching pulses and oilseeds selling year round while wheat sits in the bin. Guess maybe you didn't hear about the criminal CWB blending programs. Or the CWB ignoring markets that wanted lower quality non feed grains.

You don't know whats best for your farm because you have no idea how much was already lost. Literally hundreds of billions lost through that entity.

I am old enough to remember all that shit u must have miss understood me I am saying we r way better off without the cwb on this farm

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

The question is backwards. The potential answers are nearly infinite.

Better to ask one thing the socialists got right. Provide an example where a socialist policy or socialist government experiment hasn't been an abject failure.

I read you backwards. I thought you said the CWB provided the best returns your farm has ever seen.

Anyway, the removing the CWB as a central buying desk was best move ever, but throwing the entire thing out was the worst move ever. It couldnt exist as a dual market once people tasted the open market but it could have been transformed into a marketing and trade arm of the govt and private industry and farm groups to make sure trade flows and new markets open.

Be handy to have that organization now that we have elected a imbecile.

C’mon forage, I’ve sold more number 1 wheat since the board was dumped then before. You people”board lovers” can pool your grain any time you want. Just leave the rest of us out of it. Program needs tweaking but that is why we elect competent people onto boards to represent us. Right bucket. Soooo, that being said, lots of viewers here every day. Some of you must be close to MPs and MLA,s, or are politicians and elected grains board members. Lots of good ideas floated out by different posters but nothing is addressed, we are paying your way, start earning it.

For rage it’s better than the cwb with a one bushel quota and a initials of 75 cents.

The legacy of the prewar communist, socialism movement is still being felt.
At the least, today there is still a vacuum in our grain industry. Attitude, education, leadership.
A5 asks the better question. What is better under pure socialism?

[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 ....

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.

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!
