They don’t even need to try to hide it anymore

I am shocked to say the least, or maybe not.

Best year they’ve ever had, yet pass the added costs onto the customer….

Well it is the reality in 99% of the ag industry .

Customers keep buying and the shelves are empty..
Why not increase it..

Jim Pattison can bend over and kiss my arse !

Found out a couple of weeks ago that Robertson Implements is closing their dealership down here also. They can kiss my arse as well !

Morons who don't care about nothing but $ in their pocket , not the farmers who support them.

I like that saying until those "businessmen" need a helping hand".

Then "helping your neighbour" is expected , when the costs are too high.

I find "businessmen" are typically the biggest socialists.

Privatize the profits, socialize the losses.

Are generalizations like that particularly helpful?

That could very well apply to a lot of BTO farmers that I know.

Their fan base is usually pretty darn small around here.
