Once again, Farm Groups, Ag departments , and Opposition? Where are you?

[riders2010]

Spring shortages will be drastic if nothing changes?
Where the fk is our industry representatives?

Shortage of seed canola and most other major crops
Shortage of fertilizer
Shortage of glyphosate
Shortage of tires
Shortage of parts

Why are our groups not identifying what
Is real shortage as in there is none produced
And won’t be, as compared to shortage of
Just can’t get it here?

Us farmers need to know this not in may
We need to know this now. Would it not
Be prudent for farm groups gov ag and opposition
To push this issue? Would it not be prudent to
Inform the population what happens if we don’t
Have the inputs required for a crop?
Or is waiting to become a government minister
More important for farm groups? And is
Faking short term more important politically that
It’s all ok for politicians?
Because bad shtis gonna hit the fan like never before
If some good sht don’t start happening right now.

As long as grandpa's and father's chequebook is still good ....there is no problem to most directors on farm groups.

Same here. Sat on a farmer board at start of single desk debate lone wolf. Early 90s.

I refused sitting fees.

Most of them farming generational farms and sadly didn’t know shit from clay.

Many of them still doing it but now pushing green wet dreams, ridiculous pie in the sky shit even a return to the single desk for wheat and these guys don’t realize there a laughing stock.

All the guys that should be on boards never have been always working and adjusting to whatever weird farm policies are invented.

So guys your not alone. But we done have uniform good body that 70% of farmers are in but it’s the fringe loonigan boards that seem to try influence many in high places. Then the pollies ask the “real” farm boards and gets resolved goes round in a circle.

One grains council meeting I remember one of these new age guys waffled shit, nobody had the faintest idea what he’s was talking about. Said he would like to move a resolution one wag got up and said I would like to amend that resolution shut the **** up. My sides nearly split with laughter. Guy didn’t say boo for next few hours.

Some things in farming similar the world over

Hopefully you're not waiting on any amazon orders from china. There might be people in Chuck's democratic utopia enjoying them now.
