Thanks for confirming my point!!!

Don't evade the question. What specifically has been hit in the grain industry by Covid-19?

You obviously have been used to getting more than your share or you wouldn't have to resort to velcro runners. You could use alittle tightening of the belt.

LEP by virtue of ag being the only industry left standing after this, it deserved to at least get a shout out by our politicians. It's likely to be the only net contributor to GDP this yr.

Wouldn't suspension of the carbon tax be a nice gesture? Anything.

I don't like the carbon tax, but you know that isn't part of the masterplan for Skippy.

In general the grain side of things has been unhurt so far. I am not one to suggest throwing money around for no reason although it happens entirely too regularly imo.

Prior to covid prices were not keeping up to costs and expenses it’s a well known fact.
If there was no covid canola would be 11.50 peas 9 lentils etc etc with buyers back in the market there should been a spike in prices but part of it is as mentioned in another thread rhe viterra s etc padding their risk with unfair basis levels. So once again this virus has cost us.
In fact parts and equipment costs have gone up again due to manufacturing cost increase with trouble and shortage of workers at facilities. We re paying for this. Anyone thinks we are not is dillusional.

And if you want just a small sample of numbers 53% of 260 farmers stated they re having trouble with cash flow for spring seeding and 20% stated banks unwilling to deal now or too slow due to the uncertainty of what Is going to happen over the virus and the failure of programs and no support from government. Apas survey it must have hurt for them to even publish this.
Canadian federation of labor.
We re no different than any other group getting money except we aren’t getting anything. There are some in every group that are getting paid that shouldn’t be and not getting paid that should be. We however don’t have that problem as none of us getting anything to compensate the losses.

Our provincial government does not want the feds to pay us anything because they would be asked to support the payout.
In addition if there was payout then the fed. Conservatives could not yell come next election see you farmers they never helped you when they helped everyone. Else. The Sask Party chose to ask for oil support over support for farmers.

So the reason canola isn't $11.50 has more to do with Huawei than Wuflu. It was never anywhere close to that price leading up to the outbreak.

The 53% of farmers in the APAS survey are feeling difficulty because there's a lot of crop out.

As far as Viterra adding a risk premium it has more to do with the crop because in my area Viterra is beating out Richardson on everything that I have to sell. I would far rather deliver to Richardson for a lot of reasons , but price talks.

Who can keep track of all the promised programs, likr hire a student -100% wages paid, oh wait lets pay them to just stay at home- oh maybe we can have them volunteer. Geez - what else, maybe we can pay them to wipe their bums.

It has to do with fragile supply chains. As you can see from oil this week, anything can go to zero if it doesn't have a home.

Is anyone taking advantage of the 10% payroll deduction subsidy, kinda peanuts anyway.
Anyone taking the $40,000 interest free loan with a $10,000 principle forgiveness if paid back by Dec 31 2022.
Is anyone able to take advantage of the 75% wage subsidy? Might have to get creative. Not sure how this affects self-employed or non arm's length employees.

I think your farm has to be corporate for some of this stuff.

Hey thanks for posting this farma! Definitely worth the paper work for couple years of no interest and 10K.
