Ag Stab A waste of Time and paper and employees.

Farmaholic - that was good.

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.

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?

I have said it before I got a check back in 2003 for the frost of 2002 and thought the program worked then in 2012 I had an audit because they had no work and guess what I had to pay it all back. Over a hundred thousand dollars. Ok, no problem.

Then came the flood years and slowly it was like trying to find a leak in Hover Dam. Margins dropped slowly over the years.

So Zero payments ever again so just send the check and all is good.

Then a few years ago my Accountant gets a letter and so do I that they aren't happy about something that happened in 2015. The long list we ignored and couldn't care since its a useless program.

Well with having 1/3 of the crop out I thought maybe its time to be nice so we answered all questions about the shit show of 2015. Flood and wildlife etc.

Yesterday I get a letter thanking me for helping out but now they want more info.

Sending a letter to tell them to stick the useless program and dropping out.

This never was a program that would work. It was bullshit from day one.

Money comes to the province from Ottawa to employ people and that money is spent making sure people don't qualify for anything.

Ah once you realize they all don't care a **** about farmers and its just you.

Have a great day Done with Ag STab

I have a question. You have mentioned several times that you received money from Agstab from 2002 and had to pay back. May I ask what were you supposed to get? Did you prepare yourself or have someone prepare it for you in which they should have calculated the amount. In any of the years that AgStab/CAIS/CFIP paid out, I always knew what I supposed to get and it was always 99% the same as the payment received.

[SASKFARMER]

We froze in 2002 on August 3 real bad. Crop sucked for yield sent in and guess what sweet **** all.

Done by a accounting firm.

It’s a stupid useless program
