APAS only focus on contracts. Get real!!

[the big wheel]

So apas has a survey only focusing on drought
And contracts. Those were decisions that are controllable
When you sign those contracts you know the risk.

I m not saying don’t help those people but if you
Do what isn’t there help for everyone else affected
By the drought? Do they not understand that if our
Sask crop insurance wasn’t so out of date and useless
They wouldn’t be asking this question because the price
Loss on contracts would be covered through what should
Be market price coverage through crop insurance? They
Won’t ask this because it highlights that Saskatchewan
Producers have the poorest most ineffective crop insurance
There is. Once you hit a few bad years and those
Years stay in your average for 10 years it makes rhe program
A disaster itself.

Why isn’t apas also recognizing the covid problems with supply
Of parts etc and the crazy high prices and loss due
To waiting for parts or trying to make your own parts?

What about fertilizer and chemical costs? Do they not
See that 20 dollar canola does you no good when you have
None and your looking at seeding next year with sask CRAP
Insurance only covering you at half the market price???

Why isn’t apas focusing on then failure of agrisrability?
Why most farmers aren’t in it? Why some who had
Big incomes due to good weather the last
5 years and a loss this year to drought will get a payment
But not others that have been in the drought for years
Now? Why aren’t they lobbying for a better formula to show
What we can grow not what was grown in natural disasters?
Get rid of agristability maybe go to buying dollar acre coverage?
What not ask for a payment supported 60% by the feds it’s so
Stupid not to.

Why aren’t they organizing a farm rally combines lined up
To the leg buildings?

ITS BECAUSE THEIR LEADERS ARE SASK PARTY suck holes.
Waiting to replace the last useless suck hole that’s the ag
Minister.
And I bet they have losses on contracts on their farms.

Thank you for starting this thread big wheel.

I was listening to Ray Orb ( an absolute bootlicking saskparty phucktard ) on the radio talk about grain contracts shortages as well.

What about the rest of the farms that have a short crop, and he was only advocating for the guys with contract shortages.

These same guys would be in the coffee shop bragging about their 11 dollar canola contracts had it went the other way.

Our farm reps are way off the mark.

They also get paid to be forward thinkers. Maybe they should have thought of these possible problems and acted proactively instead of begging for mercy reactively.

What do farm groups think only the guys with contract shortages have it bad? What about ranchers where the money hasn't started flowing from the Aug 10 announcements?

In 1988 parliament was sitting during that drought to get a package out.

We had an election and not one federal leader mention the hardship facing western Canadian farmer.

The province is working on a 4 billion dollar irrigation project for 500 farmers and currently subsidizing 100000 acres of taxpayer funded irrigation 40 bucks an acre every year and tells dryland farmers they have no money.

Not one farm group has called bullshit????

[the big wheel]

Why are we not lobbying for market price
To be brought in for crap insurance this year?
Do these morons not know if crap insurance
Had market price all those contracts would be
Covered? And so would the more realistic coverage
Be for everyone else?

Is it true Alberta has market price more close to
The date of harvest? Which would be more
Realistic coverage?

Wait til next year insurance premiums go ballistic with durum and canola prices over 20 bucks , flax nearing 40 , wheat near 11 etc. And there is still a drought. The province could be in deep shit trouble and they are too fn stupid to start working with Trudeau for a plan for that scenario, he loves handing out money. Not sure why Saskatchewan went blue when not one conservative MP in Saskatchewan has mentioned the drought.

[the big wheel]

I understand why people contracted some
Of it was because crop insurance is so shitty
They have to gamble. But I didn’t contract
Because I knew crop insurance was shitty and
We were in a drought. So now apas wants to
Compensate people who made a bad decision
Cover their higher contracts than our crap
Insurance price coverage and they think
That s fair?????

Exactly we need to wake up here all the
Things mentioned on this forum the problem
We are facing are real and only going to get worse

Anyone associated with the sask party or it’s puppets
Are playing political games instead of serving our
Interests which is why they don’t want to
Ask for liberal federal help because they know
They’d get it. Not like our useless fuukn conservatives
That changes they made to our programs we re
Paying for it now.

Farmers are the most resilient group in society and therefore the largest thorn in the side of the the agenda expect the opposite of any 'help'.

Half of the farmers in my local area will
Be finished! We ve met and discussed
This all our cards are on the table we don’t
Want to see anymore outside mega farms
In our area it s killing our local communities

The programs are a disaster and they should
Have been changed prior to becoming a disaster.

There would be help if rhe sask party and groups
Like apas asked for it. They’re more concerned
About how bad that would look for themselves
And the conservatives they support. They want

Are being used and played by our

The hay crop of 2020 told the story for 2021 as it will tell the story for 2022.

If you can't get a well established root system in a hay crop to grow , pretty good chance a regular crop won't grow either. Seen guys rip up hay land this spring only to end up with essentially summer fallow for a crop.

I seeded a couple of quarters of oats because we thought we would be short hay. Turned out to be a poor hay crop as well. Baled some but I am going to combine it for seed for next year. Could be guys waiting until it rains before seeding anything , and oats might fit that agenda for 2022.

How long have they been supposedly looking at BRMs for farmers? Everyone says agristabilty is garbage. How many changes were made for pandemic help over the last year? CERB , wage subsidies, CEBA.

CEBA ,,,,not one phucking farm group asked for interest free cash advances and two years to pay it back. Not one. Not to mention a grant at the end for our contribution to the economy.

The phucking guys on these boards can't correlate the announcements made for every other industry to their own farms. That is how phucking stupid they are. Cheerleaders is all they are for each other. its embarrassing.
