AgriStability could be a game changer for 2021 – Don’t smash your screen!

Yup you have it to a tee…hey when is your auction? Thinking of starting a second farm out that way.

I’m thinking there will be NDP bumper stickers on Bigwheels Dodge 3500 that he uses to drive to the post office.

I’m not aware of any area in SK with a 4-5 year drought?

Here they come the right wing nuts
Not one can debate a post by themselves
The pm messages must be flying. Another one
Bites the dust to facts.
Someone gets involved in a sask debate
And then when shit hits the fan about facts
Oh I mean I m from Alberta. Lmao 2 different
Planets to farm in every way. Daddy pays for inputs
And now I’m taking over I bought 10 quarters of land
By saving on a truck. Yep and I took my agri invest
Yep that would be a subsidy by the way.
But I don’t believe in subsidies. Yep
And my name is Forrest Forrest Gump. Yep

Thanks for supporting my argument that alberta
Crop insurance is better though. Because really
You don’t know fuuk all about ours but felt wanting
To be engaged. Was it because you got trashed

I have stated I am from alberta many times before…Why the big surprise? Shit hit the fan about what facts? That you aren’t a very good money manager?

Not one pm message was sent. They just see you for what you are I guess…

Daddy most definitely didn’t/doesn’t pay for inputs.

Lol didn’t state that I bought 10 quarters by saving on a truck….I did apply the same fiscal responsibility of buying the truck, to buying the land though…you should probably go back and re-read…ahh never mind. Reading comprehension is hard for you I see.

I felt I needed to engage, because I didn’t feel a handout was necessary to bail out financial irresponsibility. It is your fault, and your fault only for the financial situation you are in. Why should the citizens have to bail you out of a drought. They didn’t put a gun to your head and say you had to farm. Or spend all your money from the good years.

Once again ...then why did Canada half to spend half a trillion on pandemic spending?

Why was there a CEBA loan for business?

Why couldn't the average Canadian plan for a pandemic?

I ask because I don't think the average Canadian needed support during the pandemic.



"because I didn’t feel a handout was necessary to bail out financial irresponsibility. It is your fault, and your fault only for the financial situation you are in"

comment works for the average Canadian as well.

Government didn't shut down farms. And drought isn't the same as a "pandemic" coming out of nowhere. Drought is a known risk that can happen to all farmers before they start the year. And there is already an insurance for it. It should be worked into their "what if" plan.

The everyday citizen/business doesn't have the luxury of an insurance program already in place for a pandemic before they start the year.

What is employment insurance for then, for the everyday citizen?

EI only lasts up to a max of 45 weeks. This "pandemic" is getting close to 2 years. Your crop insurance is full coverage every year. EI can not be drawn for 45 weeks every year.

I do agree though. People should be getting back to work about now.

After the flood years, in this 2017 to present timeframe, the only year that wasn’t a drought was 2019, but we combined half the farm in the spring.

What is more crucial, is to get a rain in July. In every one of the last 5 years, with the exception of 2019, I have had no rain in the July 1 to Aug 10 period with the exception of pavement wetters which don’t count. This year was an anomaly, where the no rain period started June 11 and extended to Aug 9 making a full two months without a real rain.

I am in East Central Sask. Yes, I have had drought 4 of the last five years and have read the weekly crop reports on here, but my yields have been about half the whole time except for 2019. The rains keep missing us and 2 miles north of me they have had rain and had bumper crops all through this timeframe. It’s frustrating as hell to watch. And try having half crops in past years where there was no increase in crop prices.

Remember people, what goes around comes around. I too was a cocky young farmer thinking I was doing everything right through the good years. For once its nice to see others in the same boat.

There are areas that have had some very tough luck the past 4-5 years with abnormal weather
We too are on the edge of an area
One decent year out of 5 does not make it fun in today’s ag environment no matter how good you think your farm practices area or your fiscal management.
There are a lot of farms NE of here that are in very real trouble. Some are 4 and 5 th generation farms that are very good operations .

It’s not real tough if your crops are even at least average nearly every year .
But through in 3 or 4 bad years out of 5 and things drastically change
Having one bad year out of 5 should never be a problem with proper insurance and a well managed fiscally responsible farm .

Throw in a few very dry years , hail , a few early fall heavy snow events the ruin crop quality all in a row and I don’t care how fiscally responsible your farm may be , with the constant rise in land rents , inputs , parts , labour , machinery .... even used lately , the financial crunch becomes very very real even on the best managed farms .

Good luck to all , but realize that it has not been all roses everywhere the past 5 years . It’s an attitude within the ag industry as well and it’s unfortunate

People make their own bed and either enjoy sleeping in it or spend their lives wishing they had picked a different bed. It’s your choice. You decide to presell product you don’t have and you are angry because some one else wouldn’t touch it with a ten-foot pole. Now what do you want the taxpayers to do about it?
