Who thought Norway was "hitting it"?

The so call capitalist of Agriville always have a hard time excepting some else succeeding at something they vastly screwed up.

Agreed.


They also seem to "dis" any new technology or innovation.

Hardly capitalism.

Entrepreneurs look for opportunities, business ideas. Embrace like and contrarian views, and manage risk.


Most agrivillers seemingly spend their winters vacationing, their summers doing things the same way grandpa did, and complaining how life is unfair the whole way along.



Just the way it seems somedays.

Ever start a farm from scratch?

[Zephyr]

No.

Ever start a 70 million a year business from scratch?

Didn't think so.

In this family you get nothing until you prove yourself worthy and capable.

The AG more than ever crowd is neither...


And I'm older than you think.

[Hamloc]

Agreed

So I am curious Zephyr do you just despise farmers? Speak for yourself I certainly don't spend my winters vacationing or complaining how unfair life is. I certainly do call out stupid and short sighted government policy or tunnel vision where appropriate. I do find it amusing how posters like yourself prefer insults to rational input.

No. My brother and I farm too. I don't despise farmers...

I despise the woe is me attitude some farmers have, and equally the "I'm a superstar" arrogant ignorance of others that have never seen hard times or had to scrounge for capital.

Actually I've tried to bring rational discussion on here. It usually ends up in either a climate change argument or just runs off on some political tangent, or if it's a new concept simply gets cast aside as scary or "doesn't work".


I guess I used too big a brush... My comments should have been narrowed to encompass *some* members that continually post on here complaining about everything and yet do nothing to change it. I apologize for painting everyone in the same stroke.

While our farm hasn't known a real financial struggle in two generations, trying to raise capital to expand operations overseas, fail, try again, while maintaining your company here and the jobs families rely on is quite a stress in and of itself.

Were shut down right now too. Still paying everyone their full salaries while they are home. Can't afford to loose loyal, skilled employees but we won't be able to support them without sales forever either. It's a struggle... We take risk to profit but have a strong moral and financial responsibility to our workers and their families to keep them going too.



After all that,
I'm not even sure why I still come on here to tell you the truth...

[Oliver88]

when you have one source and want all the goodies and that source drops to nothing guess what you cant pay for all the goodies.

Trudeau cut off the golden goose and brought in Saudi shit to fill the void. Once the Canadian goose dies to guess what skippy can't pay for shit either.

You have to be really stupid to not figure it out.

I hope Morneau and Trudeau might of finally clued in that without an energy sector that our $ will drop like a stone, we will have big unemployment #’s, low GDP, big deficits.. The question is do they want the country to succeed?

Ahhhh who am I kidding of course they don’t want any industry in Western Canada to succeed.

While the vitriolic talk can be hard to deal with especially if you've had a bad day, most drop in once in a while because they know that everyone here is a very hard worker. That's the tie that binds.
The best to you Zephyr

Better selling a few assets in hard times than adding a whack more load debt which is what we are doing here or maybe I’m missing something here...
