Friday Crop Report on a Thursday!

[furrowtickler]

Sask Crop Insurance is funded
Feds 36%
Sask 24%
Us. 40%
No way I would want to farm without SCIC, after going thru last year.

Sask crops insurance premiums are 40% overinflated anyway
Drop the Fed money and 36% of the premium…. Problem solved

Sask or Ab needs to play the reverse game on the feds. No transfers for programs without regulation, then how about no equalization. See you at the SCC.

[QUOTE=furrowtickler;546608]Lol it’s voluntary…
If you want to have crop insurance, be in any ag program you will have to bow down to their bogus environmental plan .

You are correct The government wants to make eligibility for Crop Insurance tied to a huge reduction in nitrogen fertilizer use. Or require mapping and variable rate fertilizer application at a huge cost to farmers

I believe privatization of Crop Insurance and or ending government funding is also on the agenda, it always has been.

Crop Insurance is a federal/ provincial program so the provinces need to say NO to this.

This government has nothing to do with the environment. It is called greenwashing or greenwash.

The ultimate stick hasnt even been brought to bear and thats penalty at point of sale. If the big boys get behind having to verify your sustainability cred before you dump in the pit, then we are really over a barrel.

And the problem is even if we block such an over reach here in Canada, our export customers might be down with the woke climate cult and demand it. This cna be written right into trade deals.

Yes its a voluntary program but nobody is going to buy your crop if you dont comply. I dont see an easy way out of this. Too many pinch points on us.

And our federal govts might be stuck too. For all we know Trudeau might be holding back health care or other transfers in order to force the govts hand. This is such a nasty govt.

“When you see that in order to produce, you need to obtain permission from men who produce nothing; when you see that money is flowing to those who deal not in goods, but in favors; when you see that men get rich more easily by graft than by work, and your laws no longer protect you against them, but protect them against you. . . you may know that your society is doomed.”

“Atlas Shrugged” – Ayn Rand

A nurse from Ontario made an excellent point. The nurses complaining that they are overworked and under staffed, its their own fault. If they would of not declared their jab status then no one would have been fired.

This same logic applies to all bureaucratic over reach. Compliance is the problem.

To sell grain now a days is getting ridiculous, the stack of forms getting thicker and more onerous. I have no problem attesting to not using certain unregistered pesticides, but they are beginning to reach their tentacles into the use of our land. Its a slippery slope and thats where we as farmers need to draw the line.

If a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so. -Thomas Jefferson

How is the seed size?

We didn't have any this year(due to disease and rotation), but when looking at the neighbors, they looked to be only 3/4 the normal size/width.

[SASKFARMER]

peas have smaller seed but lots. last weeks big rain got any early stuff that was ready and that stuff might have sprouting
