Tough times ahead for Ag

[ajl]

The next ten will be bleak on the farm but I don't think glyphosate will be that restricted. The poorer harvest that is working its way through the system right now will raise food costs somewhat and combined with lower disposable incomes for consumer will get the focus on real problems and away from fake ones. There will be a small uplift on pulse processing but the cattle industry will continue to shrink.

It will be an excuse to raise food prices....there is no reason for it....other than the Westons know they can get away it....

Read that article again with a different lens

no support no safety net no improved programs no expanded trade no enhanced infrastructure no incentives for younger people no commitment to value added anything

More of the same.

Moe is doing the same jawing. Wants all this extra GDP from ag but won't commit any money to it. Surely sask could afford to put up one protein or biodiesel plant to start the ball rolling?

Moe and company wants to spend $7500 an acre to get water to the quarter line with another irrigation project ....but thats not going to create shit other than a place for the Albertans that sell out to buy land in Saskatchewan...its sort of like the housing market...

A billion dollars for 300 farmers...think about it...

Well boys after reading all your post we may all be ****ed too!! This **** show might make the 80’s look like a minor speed bump! With no oil patch to keep farms a float thanks to the current federal administration we will all be up **** creek without a paddle. Not like a good oil patch job would go far towards saving a farm nowadays anyway.

Lots of realistic views, suggestions. No matter how the economics changed, there were always enough of us to make it work, and wait it out, perhaps spinning our wheels standing still, but surviving to expand another day. Equipment ran longer, inputs fine tuned for max return. There are so many variables influencing income and expenses that we will never know the next 10 years accurately. Stuff changes daily. I am hoping the next GEN makes a go of it all so our values stay up, and us soon exiting are well rewarded.

Bucket....don’t check out the announcement for taxpayer $ going to Corteva, Bunge and friends.

27 million to companies that charge 750 bucks a bag for seed??????

And the government and Protein industries Canada can't notice the fact?

Maybe canola seed should have a protein and oil premium attached to it when selling to the graincos????

…. but surviving to expand another day.

No expansion here, just trying to ride out the next 10 or so.

The biggest cost coming for us wont be inputs, it will be regulation in the name of sustainability. There are hundreds if farms that couldn't operate in their current form without some of the chem that is being targeted. When a small fry like me has to lace the crop like this year just to get it off, what does a BTO do?

What’s ahead for agriculture? When the City of Regina cancels Waskimo, the only outdoor city-sponsored winter playday, because of environmental reasons, you really gotta wonder what card the environmentalists will throw at agriculture.

I thought is was because the so called tree huggers and SJWs leave a phucking mess behind....

F Regina is chock full of socialist retards.

The entire lake and surrounding banks are frozen solid after 2 weeks of -45 temps. The wildlife is smart enough to get the f out of Canada in the winter. What damage are some people walking on ice going to do?
