Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[SASKFARMER]

Started cleaning trucks up from winter hauling, warm enough.

Cleaners start next week.

Maybe because we have the third most abundant natural resources in the world?

It is beyond imagination that even poor government can not take advantage of that?

Why do you think we have maintained that assesment?

As long as this country is being run by the Eastern Woke Blokes, Canada will struggle to survive. Sad but true!

Went to a Walmart mega superstore in Vegas yesterday , only empty shelves were pasta . Asked an employee, said they can’t get any.

I have a question does the average farmer feel he/she is getting their money out of our check-off dollars. For me it's a hard No!

They haven't done much for years and don't question it...they are like pouty little kids.

The only prerequisite for most of the guys on boards is someone is taking care of their inherited farm while they play board member.

I have asked questions and been told my letters have been essentially thrown in the garbage.

At my age it's just a no.

What is their incentive to work hard for the farmer? They get paid irregardless if they earn their keep. Farmer revolt against APAS ….. and others would be a start, maybe a convoy is needed.

I just find it funny since I have been back you listen to a rural radio or read a paper and it's all advertising how good our farm groups work for us and how much they do. The reality is that maybe finally farmers are asking for the money back as they see no real value for the farm.

At my age it's just a no.

Working as a volunteer for the Commissions for over 20 years... Truthfully we tried with great enthusiasm to work with our Governments... sometimes more successfully than others.

It is a very thankless job... working for farmers... anyone stupid and crazy enough to be elected to represent farmers... obviously were naive and deceived no less than any other Canadian farmer... I can see where the saying comes from... that if a politicians lips are moving....

However... being elected to parliament [or a farmer commission for that matter] is way too often a thankless disappointing job... the art of disappointing farmers and lowering everyones expectations... is not fun to say the least.

Cheers

Yes, it is a thankless job but it's time someone young stood up for our industry and called out the fools in Ottawa. I'm too old for this shit but someone out there must step up.

Trying to , 'Soar like an Eagle' when working with a flock of 'Turkeys' is rather like torture for anyone... let alone a young farmer that has not had their 'attitude adjustment' tune in by Ottawa politicians......[apologies to all the turkeys out there]

Can anyone name one thing the previous APAS president did that helped farmers?

I think he took care of his interests and moved on to the CFA.

Now if he accomplished nothing as APAS president , what are the chances he accomplishes anything as a CFA rep?

Asking for a friend.
