Well, another week in Ag and more **** ups.
This time it's the Christmas purchase of Anhydrous. Yes, some experts said they got all they needed and had all put down last fall. Good for you now shut the **** up. Most don't or got so little it's put on half or less of their acres. Canola Acres maybe got the rest didn't. For our area, it's worse since the Blairs sale didn't let our two main locations go to the Coop. Thanks to the Competition Bureau. Then They rejected Richardsons and finally just on Monday a company bought them. Yesterday we got the Christmas price and at 2400 a ton they can **** right off. Natural gas provided to those plants in Canada is still so cheap it's not even funny. This is not an open market it's a couple of companies ****ing the farmers.
I'm so pissed I don't know what to say. Paying early gives you a small discount but with gas, you just give them money 5 months before you need it. We did take a. higher amount of Granular fertilizer so our gas would be lower than last year and soil tests show some left but would have been happier with some more. This is ****ing highway robbery. But we were able to grow a crop so we have grain to cover the extra cost. But for all who got ****ed by mother nature this will put some over the edge and then if its dry again a whole lot of hurt will happen all thanks to bullshit from A few companies selling fertilizer.
Farmer's won't forget like the ****ing grain contracts with grain companies.
Finally do most get what I have been saying for years we are at the bottom of the food chain as farmers and all parasites take from what we give stop at the farm gate falling for the bullshit and all will be out of business. They don't care about the farmer so maybe it's time we start not giving a **** about them.
The best thing for the world would be to run out of food. Sorry, it's a bold statement but these **** wads need a lesson.
Trudeau will achieve his drop of Fertilizer use by 30% I would say it will be more like a 50% drop for the following reasons.
1. Very little was applied across western Canada last fall. Some did one or two here or there but most didn't.
2. Drought will affect guys buying power.
3. Bankers will not give or double most farmers' lines of credit.
4. BTOs are in the same boat instead of 2 mill extra maybe 20 mill investors get scared.
5. Drought left lots in the ground check to 24 in down your roots go deeper than you think.
6. Grain movement and grain prices. Farmers need now 15 wheat and 25 canola to make this payment and fall at
12 wheat and 20 Canola.
7. Snake oil will make a huge come back maybe even the exhaust into the soil system will be brought out of the bush.
8. Think how will the world's poorest counties that grow grain buy at these prices so who is buying it is a joke.
So yea I feel better that's off my chest. A drought again next year with these prices a lot will not be around for 2023.
But what else is going up, we all know that glypos is triple priced to normal. It just has to be. We also know that Liberty is going to spank us 18 % min more thanks to were not sure what.
Wait until you get your new package of insurance from either private or Gov costs will double.
Oh wait fuel is way up but we're all going electric so don't worry.
Oh, we thought the equipment was high before, wait it's not even started.
Rent looks cheap at 100 acre now, doesn't it? You still need land to grow a crop.
2022 could be one of the most expensive years on record to grow no crop.
It's hard to be positive with all going on, heck even the most positive might have a hard time and need to phone the stress line because in reality that's all you have in Canada press one to talk to a robot or 2 wait and talk to an expert.
So the crop report.
Rail lines are open so that is good news.
Grain prices are bouncing up then way down then up a YO YOYO effect.
Farmers are cleaning up still but the last cold snap sort of shut down all outside work and guys are now fixing projects for the wife. or cleaning shops or meeting with Chem reps etc.
Some Crop insurance checks are arriving but some are taking longer than needed.
Hey with all the good news in Ag let's take a drink it's almost the weekend.
This week is really easy.
Go to any liquor store and buy an apple whiskey of any kind will do Crown Or Jack or whatever.
Fill a tall skinny glass right to the brim with ice.
Pour whiskey over the ice till 3/4 full, yes if it's really tough to the top then let it sit a bit and go find a good chair put your feet up find a great movie or show and sip for a few hours. Ah, enjoy.
Were down to the last few weeks of 2021 and Christmas is just around the corner. Some are gone some are back and some haven't left yet. Family and Christmas used to be a big thing before Covid and maybe it's time to take it all back one baby step at a time. We have three Christmases at our home my family my wife and then ours in Florida. Friends and family nothing better.
HAve a great week keep safe and heads up.
