AG stab Sucks but all farm groups want Ottawa and Prov to continue.

Forage wow is all I can Say.

Your such a special individual arent you.

Get involved with a farm group. They all are useless. Name one that actually has the farmers back. and No it's not the NFU.

There is the factor of being in both AgStab and Crap insurance at the same time. I seriously doubt they will "pay you twice".
SF3, maybe your crop Insurance covered the loss and they wanted the AgStab gift back....lol.


Since I'm only in one that won't happen to me. I'm not even sure if they withhold a portion of a AgStab payment if I'm not in Crap Insurance......I've never had the "pleasure" of finding out. I thought they were hoping to run them as companion programs......but it sure wouldn't be "double" insuring.

Have a friend who has 26 cows and grows a bit of hay for them, one time was a farmer, now just playing around. He tells me the other day he just got $9000 from ag stab for 2019, this is the 3rd time he has got a substantial payment and wasnt sure why. Due to the wet summer in 2019 he silage baled his hay instead of baling dry, so they paid him out on his inventory stating silage is worth less than hay. He questioned them and said its the same field and fed the same number of cows and was told that's just the way it works.

I've been out for 5 or 6 yrs.

The current scam with agristabilty designed by MNP is to run multiple companies on the same farm and run one into the ground.....or increase the acres of the farm so reference margin is recalculated to see a payment...


BUT you have to have MNP doing the paperwork to have them work the system....

Its a phucking crock of shit program and telling young farmers they might not have the premium to pay won't save a young farmer with zero equity and any amount of payments...

Maybe most of you haven't noticed but when the pandemic hit they had an adhoc program set up in days for the common worker ....farm groups are still arguing about agristability after 8 years since the last changes were made....

Conservatives on the committee include Lianne Rood who was an apprentice under Ritz and farmers think they will have any chance of a better program....if so you are on crack cocaine....

The way to a better program is to get the heads of the supply management team doing the talking....or pay them for the videos they have of politicians....in other words ...blackmail the bastard politicians...

Another way would be to have most of the farm groups start using the organ between their ears.....

Saskatchewan's ag minster has said the funding formula is a problem....this from a guy that is willing to spend 4.5 billion on a government tit sucking irrigation project....Saskatchewan has the money to support farmers ...they just dont want to...

In AB you are required to have crop insurance to use Ag Stab. If you are not they will adjust any claim to an amount assuming you were enrolled.

U fricken socialist!!!

I'm the socialist, in what way? I'm not enrolled in either of the programs! I realized long ago that neither program would help my farm.

Real classy Wheels!

if everyone GTF out
they would have to scrap that useless bureaucrat job maker
got $13k yrs ago , paid back next year

[canolacrazy]

most farms now at incorporated. if you have a year end of july 31 or earlier, you should only be in agstab if you run the numbers and you have a claim. you are buying insurance on last years crop, when you already know the outcome. after july 31 year end, you are buying agstab for the current years crop.

[SASKFARMER]

Come on Quit playing a word salad.

The program sucks it doesn't work it never has and all farm groups want to continue with the shit show.

Get a better crap insurance program and all will be good. I fight mother nature more than anything else.

Wake up we live in a country where the east gets every single thing and the west can't even get covered for the Canola shit show that happened over two years ago.

It's about living in a fair and equal country. But in Shit hole Canada the West always gets ****ed.

[farmaholic]

Can't we have a grown-up conversation?

Why does it digress into name calling?

My God.


Tell me, how is the program working for you, OR NOT.

[SASKFARMER]

It's simple it doesn't work for me and yes this spring were finally dropping out. I'm tired of the games the stupid questions and expense.
