Sweet Tweet if they know more about my farm than I do I guess they shud know by now there phuckin equipment is to expensive for me to afford. NOT! Them greedy bastards don’t understand much of anything except the shareholders returns. Phuck them I hope the CEOs of these companies burn in hell for their greed. They are killing the stakeholders and society will suffer eventually. Why shouldn’t we take freebees like the rest of these poorly run companies. It’s really not in my DNA to do that but I’m so sick of the stupidity in our society why not just join the rest of the freeloaders!

There’s two ways for trudeau and the U.N to get control of all the land in western Canada buy it or starve out the producers. I haven’t seen a cheque yet.

Agreed ...perfect example is DOT that was sold to Raven...is that 5 million Goodale gave Norbert ever coming back?????

Or how about the need for irrigation...a real money maker for the province....thats why they are giving irrigation districts 40 dollars an acre for the next 5 years....it can't stand on its own and they are pushing more government money for more....

FCC is into Morris for some 10 million????

ILTA had government money...

AGT bought a railway and had the government fix it ...when did the government fix a piece of equipment or infrastructure on an average farm?????

Don't like handouts from governments.....keep burning equity to supply cheap food and pay most of Canada to do SFA for next while...they will take your equity until you are at their level...

The difference is...while many hate farmers....the many can't , won't, and shouldn't farm....

You really don't get it do you? Have you seen your pictures of your own farm? Or your vacation property down south?

Farmers have fallen out of favor of the public eye, so wake up, no one cares about you because you are far richer then most Canadians. So why should tax dollars go to you? To get a second vacation property?

I think tweety is suggesting SF3 start banking at Scotiabank.....where "you're richer than you think"!

You see here in the Slum of the Ghetto I bank at the local Credit Union where "I'm not as rich as I think"!

[RTK]

Farmaholic - that was good.

[farmaholic]

Some local credit unions are loaded !

Tweetys being a prick

What's your point ???

A weak attempt at humour....

[chuckChuck]

Support for agriculture should be targeted to small and medium sized farms who need it. If you want rural Canada to survive, more farms are better than a few very large farms.

We don't need to subsidize large successful farms that already have lots of advantages.

[farmaholic]

This ain't funny !

That's life, don't take it too serious, nobody get out of it alive....

50 × 10 = 500
70 × 6 = 420
35 x 15 = 525

FCC has been on the radio the last couple days saying bigger farms are the answer and they will be more than happy to help you sell your farm on behalf of their list they are helping grow...

[GOODRUM]

Be a good thing to have a few more packing plants , the day may come where more smaller farms would be benifcal as well, at least health wise instead of financial.

Tweety that’s what happens with hard work and a little luck when younger and a dream. Then a wife that brings something to the plate and finally always going the other way when the group goes one way.

Farmers in canada get screwed on every turn.

We pay every time the USA farmers get money.

Deere case NH all base our price on what the USA farmer will pay. When they have cash they spend.

So what’s your answer this bullshit

Really easy answer.

We don't invest in public perception - GMO is a disaster, cows killing the planet, bad treatment of animals. No one knows what a farmer even is - all they ever do is ask for money and get lots of tax dollars

We don't invest in lobbying and government communications in a unified approach. Commissions?? NFU? RM's. CFA? The catholic church. Need i say more.....

We do invest millions in figuring out how to grow 3 more bushels.

We invest lots in complaining about our situation.

But most will just glaze over and expect someone else to do it for them

'Hey, Tweety, have you seen the houses and vacation properties of the managers and CEO’s of Bombardier, SNC, Air Canada, CBC? "


I'm sure they do, probably big ones and good on them, but they're smart enough not to go on some chat line bragging about owning them.

Maybe that's why they became CEOs and know it wouldn't look good if asking for government. On the other hand SK3 has used Agriville to let the whole world know he owns a house in Florida.

You see the difference?
