Ritz to Sask Ag Hall of Fame

[malleefarmer]

there isn't , i would guess, 5% of farmers here that would want that crooked bunch of pricks back . was like a dynasty here ,several generations worked there , books could not be audited , just bizarre that it lasted that long and eastern farmers weren't forced to use it or go to jail ! sounds funny when you see it in print , lol. but it wasn't . just to bad it went overboard the other way , no transparency here , none whatsoever

Farmers traders here know shipping schedules in advance, know what’s been loaded on ships tonnes and quality, so7nds like you guys have even got a handle on stocks but then you haven’t got centralised storage systems everywhere

Only issue we have left is access to port facilities owned by Viterra and they “have” to give access to all exporters but they charge them shitzloads for there service, same breathe they need throughput not a huge issue for me target domestic sales

Glad to see him nominated. He gets my vote on the ___ issue alone. Should have had the Order of Canada too.

So if Ritz's policies were so good ...why do you have Devin Dreeshen , who helped Yerry , asking the liberal government to fix the BRM programs he put in place?

Hall of Fame should be reserved for those that showed vision for farmers and created an environment to keep the industry healthy..

The average age of farmers is 55 ...a healthy industry would be getting that age into the 40s...

Gerry Ritz in the Hall of Fame....for doing a half assed job of bringing the open market to western Canada??????

He shouldn't be on the same wall as a guy like Grant Devine ...it diminishes Devine's vision and efforts for farmers...

It was a sorry crop of inductees. Gerry wasn't the only nitwit on the list. However, even a stopped clock is right twice a day and Gerry was right about the CWB. The real problem is that SK Ag Hall of Fame is a totally lame award.

Gerry was right about the CWB...true but he did a half assed job of it....

Who chooses inductees? Like actual names and what credentials do they hold to have that authority to appoint inductees?
