Well, a small bit of harvest happened on Friday and Saturday till a really nice rain on Sunday took all the snow and then at around 6 like clockwork it turned to wet ****ing snow.
The Fat lady has left the stage the 2019 crop won't be finished till spring 2020.
One guy got his last 40 acres off. Another got 80 of flax off and some north got 240 acres of canola. But unfortunately we needed one more day to get the snow off the swaths and that did come with the rain but then the snow killed the hopes and dreams and harvest of 2019.
This is the first time ever I have not been able to get most of the crop off. We have had a quarter here or their but not like this year with a 1/3 left. 21 days and not one was decent to harvest is all we had to work with. Oh were full up with moisture for 2020 but who gives a shit.
Farm groups in Ontario and Quebec and Alberta are calling on the Feds to do some kind of help but good old Saskatchewan Manitoba are like deer in the headlights. Honestly we elect total ****ing morons to our boards.
Like I posted a month back the idiot in Tisdale that was bragging he is done and well were used to harvesting under harsh conditions. I have a way better bigger system of drying than your old shit pile and if you had only 7 days to harvest your piss ant crop you would have over half out. Wake the **** up farmers with this if it didn't happen to me it's just a small group it's sad but to bad its not me. I have been talking to a lot in Gov and i can tell you there is more than 7% left to harvest they are lying big time. Fly over we have a lot of crop out.
I am getting too old for this shit but why can't we actually have farmers who understand agriculture and don't need the cash from the per diem to survive running and to advise gov. We have total shit for brains at all levels. Ag will be dead and soon if shit doesn't get straightened out. Europe let this happen and now google the ag protests they are fighting. It's too late don't let that happen here. Enough of being nice, how well has that ****ing worked for us. The comment the new AG minister was their and listened to us. What a crock of shit. She doesn't care a bit about Ag all she cares about is her Paycheck.
Ok, it was our largest ever produced since the flood years and we were back in full force. Quality wasnt that bad not a 1 but still workable. But the piss off it's still partially in the field over winter.
Again Canada is failing with over 100 billion in Ag debt. Let that sink in and tell me you're doing so well. Borrowed money well. Sask, Man and Alberta have half the debt.
If it truly was Ag more than ever we would be getting help for our carbon sequestration. We would be part of the team to new green. Instead were taxed to death and borrowed to the hilt. What a recipe in disaster.
I have another question " Where the hell is our PM"?
Really did he go A wall. Or is he dead or what.
Also what the hell is the minister of the middle class really do. Do we just make up things now?
Honestly, the way I feel right now maybe my friend in Swift had the better plan sell out for stupid dollars and sit back and relax as there is no future in farming in Canada now. I followed some of that with liquidating some far far away property and assets but maybe I should have said the whole bunch could go with Redlands deal a few years back.
AG in Canada is at a cross haires and I personally can't see a positive in it for survival unless farmers start to wake up and fight back. If we lose the younger generation I can't wait another 20 years to leave.
Be safe and remember the ones at home are way more important than any farm.
