"Toronto garbage $95 a tonne/Ontario corn $90 a tonne."
This was a message on a sign being carried by an Ontario Farmer at a recent farm rally at Queen's Park in Toronto.
I have finally been able to deliver my #2 Winter Wheat (at least the 75% that the CWB has called for)and the farmgate initial payment was ....... ok wait for it........ $63 per tonne. The initial couldn't even cover cash advance.
And this is the best a beef animal with large, hanging testicals can do for me?
(Remember the CWB Ad?)
Just Brutal!
Anyway, no matter how you slice it this individual has summed up the problem with agriculture in a very succinct (sp?)way, don't you think?
