Most farmers are simple people, hence it is easy to bait, insult and use them. Common sense is considered an asset on the farm. The vast majority of the stuff written on this and other ag/bus websites on the net is garbage and should be treated as such, entertainment. Gov'ts are constantly floating ballons, to see what reaction they'll get from the people. Will I get re-elected and keep this soft job is all that counts in the long run. Greed and corruption prevail in our country/industry. Me myself and I are the only important ones that matter! Lets face it, farming is a poor way to make a living, but better than being a bum most of the time........ Sorry, to all those thin skin individuals that I have hurt, or upset by challenging their insights into the modern, dog eat dog world of ag on angiville.

You meant angri-ville?

Burbert I would challenge your first statement. Making an assumption that most farmers are simple and to follow up with simple means common sense does not make sense to me.

If common sense is so simple why do more people not use it.

I would also challenge the statement
"farming is a poor way to make a living". For me farming is the greatest way to make a living. I love it in my simple way I make a living at it.

Garbage is written on here sure to say the "vast majority", is a little harsh.

"Challenging their insights into the modern, dog eat dog world of ag on angiville". That's awesome start actually challenging.

Agstar, cute play on words but not entirely accurate.

I would say more like frustated-ville.

Frustrated because when challenged, the defenders of the cwb have never offered anything that actually could stand up to scrutiny. The case for premiums can't be made, in fact the opposite appears to be true when examined closely, yet it is still precieved by many as having value when no evidence actually exists.

Burbert,

The simplest form of common sense is: We reap what we sow.

You WILL find what you look for... !

Long term relationships built on honest reliable people who stand for truth and integrety... who respect those folks who value these same attributes... can be built for those willing to pay the price and take the time!

[Burbert]

Tom4cwb, Exactly, which turnip wagon, did you fall off of?????? Truth, honesty, integrity, general good will, in the grain business, wow is all I can say, guess I'm using the wrong brand of speed stick!!!!!! Bye the bye, which planet, are you marketing on???????

I apologize for being amazed and frustrated at everyones attitude these days. One of the toughest springs ever for grain farmers in terms of getting crops in the ground and still have challenges ahead.

You deserve a break (those that aren't haying). Take advantage of it. Golf a bit. Go fishing. Use the boat at the lake. Head to the mountains. Life isn't that bad.

Pluses;

You have the best prices you have had in years.

Rain makes grain. Heat will help even more.

New customers closer to your farm that ever before are coming on board everyday.

If farmers can't be positive in today's environment, then the industry has real problems starting with the person looking back at you in the mirror every morning.
