Meanwhile in the states

Sounds like the same b/S projections from last summer of record canola crop
Next years crop is a very long ways from the bin .
Big returns need a good crop
Go back and look at that soil moisture map that was posted .
People have short memories of nearly zero crop in 2001 and 2002.
High prices don’t mean anything next fall till the crop is in the bin

[furrowtickler]

The only thing guaranteed is expenses are going to be way up higher and carbon tax will take a very big chunk next year

What should ag policy do?
Stats Can info says all good.
When bad things happen the weak always disappear. Big get bigger, just faster with no govt.
However, govts job might be to recognize unfair advantages and the advantages.
Carbon train redistributing a lot of money and ag left to kick turds here.

Did some of you miss out on the rising farm incomes in 2020?

What is reason for believing that crop farmers need a blanket subsidy when in fact they saw a significant rise in prices and incomes in 2020?

Crop receipts rose 12% in 2020 and (net cash income) is forecast to further grow in 2021 by 6.8 per cent to $17.6 billion.”

Your forgetting about the previous years where canola price sucked, lentil price sucked,durum price sucked, peas price sucked. And wheat still sucking.

It’s bullshit
Like the huge huge huge canola crop last year
Give your f k n head a shake ?
Lots never got enough canola to fill their $10 contracts
Canola got to $20 cause they’re was none
The drought also f u c k e d up their bullshit huge carry over from the year before

So you did miss out on the high prices.

I thought that in the free market you guys would have locked in and sold grain at some decent prices. But because you didn't, you want taxpayers to give you a blanket handout regardless of whether you need it or not?

Sharpen your pencils and don't expect no strings attached blanket subsidies without a good reason.

Bringing up the free market jab over again doesn't help your case at all Chuck.

Loved that fact that we were able to wait out the wheat market and sell 90% near the high and get 100% of our money at the point of sale .
Canola , well it’s self explanatory. They kept the price down as long as they could.
Something had to be sold for cash flow .
Most will still average out in that $14-$15 range . Don’t need a single market dictatorship to do that on our own .
Also paper can replace sales to capture any more upside. But it’s cash flow at point of sale , and being able to deliver as much as necessary when needed will always our way the old antiquated quota system and delayed payments.
We delivered 1800 ton of wheat in 4 days and got paid .
One talks about willingness of change ... well it’s a new world , don’t get stuck in the 70’s .

We worked up every acre of canola from hail
So no ....

I don’t want any handouts
Just a level playing field with competitors

Trying hard not to get baited here.
No one asking for nsa blanket payments.
Using the past system as lure to bring out a rain of fire response to lower the conversation rather clever I suppose.
Unless you truly believe what you said. In which case there is no point in discussion with the biggest Luddite on here. If you like S&M there are better sites.

Irrigation farmers are not sharpening their pencils...they are still getting the capital infrastructure for free and 40 bucks an acre for 5 years...for being guaranteed a crop..

Then just for good measure go watch Meeting 22 of the TRAN committee about the Canada Infrastructure Bank...listen to Andrew Scheer's questions and the answers he receives from the CIB
