Reinsurer! Saskatchewan Is Full of Shit!

Interesting observations.
Natural Gas Upgrade 2.0 would of definitely been a better investment.

That and the ability to drill wells and provide power to get the water to the cows.

Imagine wanting to grow an industry like feedlots in this province without the cow calf guy.

Cow calf guys need water , dugouts are not the best in what we just experienced this year.

Also a nat gas program would be fair that a generation has missed out on.

In order to rejuvenate the rural area with young families , that program that Grant Devine did needs a reboot.

Talked to a fellow the other day
Saskenergy wanted $60 k to go 1/2 mile for shop gas , apparently they don’t want any more hook ups
Now he is at the mercy of the propane gods

Have a look at Welker Farms. They put some gas line in. Even bored it under a road.

There are other options for insurance that up till this time we’re fairly reasonably priced. They are Gars and Just Solutions. We had experience with Gars, and after loss one year, we were eligible for a payment and received it in a fairly quickly. My point on this is, I don’t think they get any gov. funding. Is it because the governments are involved in crop insurance that it costs not twice but three times as much.

Think of it like going to a dentist or optometrist
They charge double to Tripple because most people are insured . Crop insurance is no different. There is no way ever that crop insurance premiums cost what the charge is in total with our contribution and government “subsidies” , it’s impossible. So it is a way for provincial governments to pad their general revenue 19 out of 20 years ... major drought patterns .

Going to be interesting whether apas folds
To the bullshit spewed by the sask party. Or
Is this just a staged spat? Many rms threatening
To cancel apas due to nothing happening regarding
Bringing up real farm issues.

Of course they’re throwing farmers under the bus
In order to convince city people it’s the farmers
Fault for the deficit. When in fact it’s complete
Mismanagement and has been forever. But glossy
Eyed citizens including farmers maybe now will
Accept what’s right in front of them.

Where the hell is all the increased revenue going?
Taxing the shit out of all of us.

So glad you brought he irrigation project up and correlated it to gas to dryers..

Here are some facts...

- the 4 billion project will bring in 400000 acres
- that is $10000 per acre to get water to the quarter line no charge to the farmer ( Just the taxpayer )


Wouldn't you like to be able to have gas brought to your farm no charge ?

One other factoid....if all the existing and proposed irrigation acres were seeded to canola they wouldn't fill the demand for the announced expansion of crush plant in the province. They would still be relying on dryland farms to grow canola. But dryland farms receive nothing. Food for thought.

Free would be good but even at an affordable price like maybe 25-50 thousand would be worth it. 10 farms that I know kind of in a line inquired about natural gas for grain dryers and they were quoted from the low of 160000.00 to 400000.00. If I double my vitamins I will not live long enough to recoup half of that cost. These guys are way out to lunch. Why do they employ staff to hand out outrageous prices like that. New hookups must be almost zero. They could save lots of money if they eliminated all the people who price out these new hookups as it is evident they don’t want more.
43000.00 to go one mile for a house hookup. Even if they trench at 1/5 of a mile per hour that’s some pretty good wages for 5 hours of work. Yes the pipe is 5-7 thousand and they would have to go under 2 roads but 43000.00 for 400000btu’s. I would like to get that install contract. Make more money in 1 year trenching then in 10 farming.
Sad to see they have lost their vision. They need a really good optometrist.
Had they used that 4 billion on natural gas installs and collected 1 billion from farmers for their share I really wonder how much of the 3 billion they would have recouped from gas sales in twenty years. Maybe someone can add some input.

Check to see how much of that bill is a rural reconstruction charge. . Urban customer’s are not charged this.

A friend said the hookup would be 0ver $100000 and that's a big line funny thing is they are going to go an extra 4 miles because they need it for future capacity. I think farmers are paying way too much in the rural.

[SASKFARMER]

All insurance offered in Saskatchewan private or gov will have premiums going up in 2022 just do the math it will be double in some cases. Are you going to drop insurance with no moisture?

It's a life save Crop insurance but not a money maker it gets you through a tough year that's it. Spending for nothing doesn't work also.

I was pissed at the Minister and her tone. Then read comments on CKRM Facebook page about the news story. City people were blaming farmers hard that night it was just wrong. Their wages were going to subsidize farmers. **** me was all I could think.

Apas finally showed some balls the Gov got mad and wants them to back down. I say **** this its time farm groups woke up and fought back, These oh let's be nice has worked so ****ing well hasn't it.

I thought that crop insurance was in a surplus position recently. Where did it all go?

My buddy works for SaskEnergy. He says the managers and CEO are telling employees its a sunset industry. Wow.
