“Which one of my disappointments is this”


John Dutton or Wiseguy’s mother

[malleefarmer]

Reckon sask3 messaged me maybe just before Xmas said he’s just started Yellowstone reckon I’d like it. Yep bit time short but up to episode 5 season one love it.

Sask said take a while to piece all the characters and what they do.

All falling into place.

Tad raunchy.

Like it when rip dropped the ranch hand off to the train station.

Just a question are there many Indian casinos in Montana in reality and is it basically Indians only or open for all and if there are some does revenue go back to First Nations?

Guess I could google it

[SASKFARMER]

Lots of Casinos and yes the money goes back to the chief and then down. Big projects happen when a casino is in the right spot.

Its on Prime.

Got to episode 3 of Season 3. Slowed down but something big is happening.

Now how come i am pricing 4 different drills to replace our oldest one. One is the right size and year old but has the 1300 bus tank. We have anhydrous so what would i put in it air. One is new enough right tank but isn't a high flotation. One is Right year drill but old tank. Fourth and fifth are right drill right tanks but can you guess which dealer is out on the price of my drill compared to the other three are equal. Maybe i am getting to old for this. Or just go buy a new one and be like all the others. Don't worry be happy its only money.

Farmer code of practice.....this bullshit has the same M.O. as the seed tax....engage farmers at the end point and when they start asking for better answers ...they will put it on the back burner....

Lets say a farmer grows grain to the code of practice...lets look at peas...everything done right from the seed treatment , seeding date, in crop spraying and pre harvest and correct bin for storing....all environmentally approved....


Then the end user ( India ) say canada has to use an environmentally unfriendly fumigant before we can sell them product...

It sort of defeats the purpose?????

dumphuckled farmer...tm



Or a better one grow a 1CWAD deliver with all the required protocols for your farm in place and the grain co blends it at the west coast with a 5CWAD to make a 3CWAD because that is what the end user (Italy ) wants....and the spreads on blending make the graincos money....


Just playing devils advocate.....

And anytime DU is involved ....my sense is its a scam of some sort...

Grain companies have been doing this for decades. Selling a 2 or 3 CWAD is almost the same money as a high protein 1CWAD. Oh and we can't forget how the grain companies "aren't making any money on handling grain", I actually heard that a few years back and laughed right in the guys face. That one I heard while waiting to unload one day .

[SASKFARMER]

They want us to follow the rules and they bend them to suit themselves.

Its all about control boys and girls and they all want us to fall in line.

Trudeau is the worst and now others are catching on and want in on the action.

Imagine if Chuck was the inspector coming to your farm.

FM that would be no fun.

They are still saying it at the local elevator...


I dont have a problem with graincos blending grain to the minimum spec as long as someone realizes it wasn't farmers ...nor are farmers receiving the profits from such a practice...

One thing that is missing in the knowledge chain of this industry is how much grain did graincos buy as a 1CWAD on the prairies and how much sold as a 3CWAD or vice versa....

As an example ...with this years crop there is no such thing as an exported 5CWAD if you do the math on the grade breakdowns provided by CGC ....its all blended off....so while 5cwad might be purchased on the prairies ...that spread is going directly to the graincos pocket....thats OK but at least have a regulator with the authority to report it ...so farmers can at least get some of that profit for growing it...

Hey y all did ya hear ?

The hursh says I am a freeloader !

I ain't supposed to take my check off back !

**** that I am the one doing doing the work !

They re the freeloaders !

Stop the steal !

....that "freeloader" comment coming from a guy(pig) who's had his snout in the trough of boards and commissions through his personal per diems and "consulting" fees.

Maybe anyone who has received money from those boards paid for with producer's dollars shouldn't be making those kinds of comments!

[farmaholic]

Good luck getting any of this over-charge back.....

CN & CP have both exceeded their revenue caps totalling 5.34 million dollars of which gets paid to the WGRF. ...."farmer's money". And Kevin Hurst has the nerve to call farmers "free loaders" who claim their check off dollars back.

So farmers don't "fund" research and development?

[crusher]

Yellowstone too raunchy for me, jumped in at season 3. I'm getting tired of shows that have no morals, each to their own.

The WGRF is in bed with the railways obviously....when there is talk of shortages for R&D its a pretty easy ask to get the money isn't it....

Why give it back to farmers ....too much administrative work...its only pennies....

And where is the ROI on the WGRF ???? farmers money to grow more make less.....well spent...


From the bank video of SNL ...we lose on every transaction but make it up on volume ....

Farmers are learning to play this game with storage. if they get something that downgraded they park it for a few yrs.

Guys who had a fusarium issue in 2016 were told to bury it. Instead binned it and sold it for a #3 a yr later when the buyers had their feet up.

Same thing as that load of spoiled canola my dad snuck in for a #1 last spring.

Always catch those guys when they the slowest and never sell a bushel off the combine.

True ....but thats alot of bins to carry for a few years....I can't afford it...but then again can I afford not to?????
