There is no comparison between cash advance and government employee wages, cash advance is a repayable mostly interest free loan and wages are a fee for service only to return to government coffers through taxation.

Y'all need to keep the soiled panties shiite on Chucks page.
Advance program may as well have died with the cursed board that made it necessary but I'll damn sure use it.

Same opinion, but damn sure won't use it.

Unreliable quota brought with it bin police. Waste a day touring them around measuring, only to have the damn quota open a day later that if coordinated would have negated the waste of time and resources to achieve their payback.

Someone tell me if the ladder brigade still exists, just for interest sake.

Only saw a bin cop once. Said my yield too high, right from Winnipeg. 25 years ago.
Not since CCGA took over i bet. Ins has better numbers. I dunno.
If $350k at 8.5% $2500/month.
Hedging at a higher price and delivering off combine beats it all tho.

Just where do you think the wages go if not back into the economy in the form of housing ,groceries ,vehicles,entertainment.
Where does yours go machinery,fuel,fert, and same as above ,your mabey not as special as you think.

Federal jobs keep money circulating and the economy going, but they are all paid for by other taxpayers. The difference between a govt workers salary less the taxes they pay is funded by every other non government tax payer.

It is not easy, but we need to find more jobs that are non government and actually contribute a net positive number to the government income.

Agriculture is so diverse, it seems to vary back and forth who is doing well and who needs help.

Yeah. Number of years ago I took out a ccga advance. Old guy from Manitoba came to check my bins. Offered a ladder but he was cool with seeing grain in the bins. He even gave me some good advice about cash advances and stuff. I’ve dealt with both ccga and farm cash. Prefer farm cash as they’re closer to me and easier to deal with but rather not use advance program if I don’t need to.

There are taxpayers and taxeaters.

Unfortunately this government doesn't distinguish between the two and think a job created by the government is equal to job created in the private sector.

Exactly, that was the point I was trying to make . Maybe never came across right , but that’s it

Obviously wages go back into the economy, but it’s wages from tax money , not from created wealth
No individual is special, but as a wealth creation industry Ag is on a far different level than government workers . As is logging, mining , oil , natural gas ….. you know the stuff that built the nations we live in .
You can’t have a successful society with no wealth creation, it’s impossible
I am baffled by this who don’t understand that principle , like our current coalition government…. They have zero clue , as do the government workers who get 100% their wages from taxpayers

[furrowtickler]

This says everything……


And this is exactly where we are headed , especially if Freeland takes over as PM .

Sorry guys.. love the discussion but gotta play devils advocate here.

How is a govt job any less different than a heavily subsidized oil and gas job? Or airline job...or ag job.
Does a teachers salary make the economy spin any more or less than our drought crop insurance cheques that is paid for by what.... 40% federal govt? In alberta 2 winters ago i had a discussion with a landlord who works in oilpatch. Price of barrel was in the crapper and they were bashing trudeau ( rightfully so) but when i asked where he had been working, the answer was, " been all over northern alberta closing in abandoned wells". The ONLY reason he had been working that winter was due to the influx of federal ( taxpayer money) that went to the abandonment well cleanup. When i pointed out that they are federal govt workers right now ...they went pretty quiet.

Im not going to pretend that im some sort of magical wealth creating farmer when every single user that does anything with my grain is subsidized by you and I. The only difference between my dollar into taxes and a teachers.. nurses... cra accountants...* insert public servant job here* is thst i have the ability to control how much tax i pay based on my spending. Tax bill comin? Buy a bunch of fert.. problem solved. My family who are all teachers ( thats a public servant job) dont have that ability.

Come on guys and gals. Get off our high horses and stop pretending grain farmers are holier than though.

The big time operators with 5 x9s ? Those x9s are subsidized by my tax dollars . Just like MY s690 is subsidized by that BTO.

Good post.

I'd argue that teachers and nurses hold societies wealth creators together. It is rather obvious that education, the more you have, the higher the income you can earn, and in theory the higher the tax bracket you'll be placed. Take nurses out of society, and your shortened wealth creation life will not be better for yourself, or your country.

Your landlord had minimal to no say in the priority of a governing body that chose to down hole abandon wells for the oil industry. All he did was accept a welfare position, but at least he put out for it. Had the governing body tied that perk to insisting that the surface be restored to its surrounding untouched equivalency, by the oil industry, and at the same time, then I would have called that wealth creation.
