Ag Stab A waste of Time and paper and employees.

Heads up. If you are opting out of Agristability remember you still need to fill out the forms to qualify for AgriInvest.

Just check the box for AgriInvest and leave the Agristability one empty.

Again you hit the nail on the head. Or they are intended to help keep the suppliers paid and that way the shit show can continue.

When george w bush was signing a farm bill years ago, he was being questioned on it and he said if I give a farmer 5 dollars he spends 10 in town. Immediate economic stimulus. I just cant understand how our government doesnt see how economically important all of our ag industry is. Every ag program they have come up with in the last 25 years or more are nothing more than government job creation.

[SASKFARMER]

I do agree Jerry screwed up on lots. No accountability after the CWB was done. That is number one. Then Pissing away at Ag stab and gutting it.

Sask likes the check from Ottawa to cover the expenses at Crap insurance in Melville.

For years I said get a crop insurance program that was 2020, not 1957. All would work.

But no they play fun with numbers and guess what it's designed not to work.

Farm groups have been saying they want 85 percent reference margins...easy change but won't happen...

David Marit said there are adequate programs in place....he doesn't want the province to contribute to agri recovery or put more into farmers pockets....he really never was a farmer....

He spent his life sitting in meetings...someone else took care of his farm ...you guys know the type ...more work gets done when they are gone ....

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

You can thank Yerry the guy hitting the Hall of Fame wall and his masters for the shitshow we are in...

If the conservatives just would admit they phucked up farm programs I would be more civil about how useless they are as an opposition...

Out of some 100s of billions handed out ...they couldn't negotiate an adhoc that kept pace with the US ...would a 3-5 billion adhoc be a bad thing for Western Canadian farmers ?????? Or the economy as a whole...

[SASKFARMER]

I agree they can change anything and it's all good.

But the program was better run when it was done out of Winnipeg.

Most farmers don't care about the program and they wonder why.

I withdrew from Agstability roughly 3 years ago. Having both grain and cattle my conclusion was it would never pay. In my opinion it is a program where I pay to give the government all my information, a complete waste of time and money.

[newguy]

I quit agstability a couple years ago.between insurance payments and cattle it always seemed to average out my income.Never did like getting an audit and have to dig into crop insurance income tax and agstability numbers to explain things.2003 had a frozen crop BSE hit and they changed the way breeding cattle were counted as inventory and got no payment.
