The only thing those three are worried about is their fees being paid to talk nonsense. ...they don't have a clue. ...they are in the same category as Greta...

[SASKFARMER]

I agree the mental health is masking the real problem and that is equipment costs tripled, seed and all else doubled or tripled and I’m still paid the same price as when I started some 40 years ago. So yes I’m pissed and maybe crazy for still believing it will improve for the farmer. I doubt it.

I find them a little more annoying than Greta if that’s possible.

I have to build storage for my production until I sell to my customer which is the graincos, right???, so why doesn't Nutrien????

I know the answer but something is going to have to change in commercial farming and the partnership with industry...

Might start a thread to survey who enjoys the slim margins....there was an expert on the radio yesterday saying farmers have to sharpen their pencils and at the same time saying machinery is costing more and farmers should have a machinery replacement fund ......

Probably because their products are not time sensitive, they can be harvested anytime, they don't lose quality or quantity if you wait a few extra days ( or millenias) to harvest them. So their storage is in its natural state.

I am a realist not glass half full or empty kind of guy.

But lately farming is changing and not for the better. If we keep the same path Canadian farmers will be left in the dust.

We’re the only country in the world that can’t get anything productive done. Our roads and railways are basically the same goat trails from 100 plus years ago. No vision just worry about protecting there jobs and doing nothing.

How would we get anything visionary done. We are barely going to be able to keep the lights on over the next decades. I mean when your govt shovels $125B right into a giant black hole, what productivity could have come from that? That's enough money to put up 20 potash plants or build 20 major export pipelines or quadruple the TransCanada or double the rail lines and none of it every gets even to the drawing board.

Canada is in a perpetual stalemate. Cant really invest in our resource potential because that might shift power from east to west, so its muddle along. How in the f can a country like ours be 6T in debt when we are sitting on a gold mine?

Someday there will be stories told about 30 some million people living on that kind of wealth and still fd it up.

I have acres and acres of storage.

This winter, I am using 1000 acres of storage. Keeping the grain cool on this scale has been easy enough, but emptying it out next spring will be a big job.

Around here the deer, mice, and elk have been taking care of a lot emptying of “outdoor storage” that ducks and geese never got to.

[SASKFARMER]

Proud owner of 3300 acres of outdoor storage. I thank Trudeau every day for how he has destroyed agriculture after he screwed up the oil. What's next oh yea Canada.
