The Last Friday Crop Report on a Thursday.

[Herc]

Everything that could have gone wrong this year pretty much did. That sums up our year here.

[farmaholic]

Example....Devin Dreeshen worked in Ritzs office while they gutted farm programs and he is now asking the liberal government fix them. ...if he would just admit he had a hand in creating the mess...

Government and corporate Industry groups only want "policiy advisors" that listen and advise them of what they want to hear. The "advisors" think they have input but are nothing more than puppets and dummies doing the bidding of their masters. Is it hard for Industry to convince these people to follow them around with their noses up their ass? I guess it's easier than listening to or trying to convince an adversarial opinionated strong willed person of their corporate agenda

It's getting closer everyday to consensus that farmers are getting tired of being shit on....

Horse little school girl and not getting it done because I have to much. You ****ing moron I am further along than most some small just started others 40% left and it’s from long lake to Manitoba. East central. So piss off you fool. Your the problem the elevator doesn’t go to the top floor

Western farms cannot organized very effectively and our vote too small and too diluted, but we can impact the pocket books and that would get some attention. Cant risk voting against Moe because we might get a Trudeau type in here who wants to phase it all out.

I would be looking rotation and input wise how to cut some of the parisites off. Dare I say going back to a 3rd chemfallow would get some one at Nutrien to notice pretty fast.

[fjlip]

Every time weather ruined our parade, we were not on the radar, only a small area, others had extra to make up our losses. Hail/wind /floods/frost never hit enough acres to reduce volume. Doesn't help you feel better, but seems to be so.

Mean while in the GREAT USA... party on boys!

"Nearly one-third of projected U.S. net farm income this year will come from government aid and taxpayer-subsidized commodity insurance payments, according to a forecast issued Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. The USDA increased its net farm income forecast for 2019 by more than 10%, to $92.5 billion, driven largely by the Trump administration's trade aid payments to farmers and federal insurance indemnities from extreme weather events, USDA Economic Research Service senior economist Carrie Litkowski said in a conference call with reporters. Without those payments, U.S. net farm income this year would have dropped by nearly 8%, to $63.6 billion. Total direct payments to the nation's estimated 2 million farms are expected to surge to $22.4 billion this year, a 64% increase over 2018 and the highest rate paid out since 2005, Litkowski said. Farm income also was boosted by an estimated $6.5 billion paid out in federal commodity insurance indemnities, which does not include the premiums that farmers paid themselves, she said. That includes crop insurance payments Midwestern farmers received in the wake of record floods that devastated a wide swath of the Farm Belt this spring. Farmers have struggled to stay afloat as the trade war with top U.S. soybean buyer China drags on, and the U.S. Congress has not yet ratified the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The Trump administration has, so far, pledged as much as $28 billion in two separate trade aid rounds. The bulk of the aid is in the form of direct support payments to U.S. farmers to compensate for lower prices for farm goods and lost sales stemming from trade disputes with China and other nations. USDA's latest farm income forecast does take into account the second round of 2019 trade aid payments, Litkowski said, which U.S. farmers began receiving this month. (REUTERS)"

Yes I agree with most but realistically it’s not a small area more is out than they are saying and why is that.

Wonder profits at elevators after this winter. Ah would have been nice with some open reporting to do fun with numbers but no we screwed up.

So yea I don’t know the answer but when you have peoplekind like horse yapping the way he did you soon see why industry wins and farmers don’t. It’s like herding a room full of cats.

Till this me myself and I is replaced with one voice for all farmers were ****ed.


Insanity doing the same thing over and hoping for a different outcome.

[Goodtime]

The money for the bills and my profit is left out over winter....over production guarantees with the assessment done by crop insurance....

Now just to get it next spring.....

I accept things I can not change....serenity now.....

The dumbphuckled farmer....tm.

I feel the same way.
