Lee,

Grin!

I think we all know we are at one of those crossroad times... in a marketing year... when we don't know what is going to happen... but a gut feeling that the die is being cast!

Corn at $3.57 Dec... hmmmm it is either way too low... or everything else is too high... except for Board grains!

What is the CWB going to do when corn is at $5/bu?

I may be wrong... but I feel something in my bones... one trigger point on corn or oil... and it goes up through the roof...!

We are trying to feel our way through this.... it's not boring at all!

The reason the CWB debate is continuing is because some don't want us to focus on the real issues of the day such as government ag policy. Now let's see Cais was supposed to be gone, according to MP's in central Sask. anyways, the only reason it wasn't gone was because those dumb liberals locked us into this useless program with the provinces, but trust us we're getting rid of it. Well the name Cais is going but it is the same program except worse there apparently is no coverage for the first 15% loss, now that is supposed to be made up by a nisa like program, but we had nisa and we still had a farming crisis with mass exodus of farmers so how is this going to be the answer now. And as far as the so called high prices they are going to have to get a lot higher yet ot offset fertilizer, fuel, crop premiums, and repairs increases. Alot of the media are fooling many by saying the crop is excellent, I took a drive to Saskatoon and yes there is 100 acres on a 160 acre field that is great but the other 60 are gone so where does that leave you other than average to less than average, price will have to really jump to cover that. I can't speak for what Conservative MP's in Alberta have said but our Sk MP's have not done what they said they would do. And I cannot stress how bad it is going to be with these crap programs for those who couldn't seed, and those who seeded and had the high costs and now have no crop and have no programs with any merit to help out. As others have stated it's time to get over this CWB issue it was voted on it's done now let's focus on our ag programs and show those who straight faced lied to us about what they were going to do that we aren't blind idiots and we are not going to just let this pass.

Gee Tom and skhadenuf, how could you turn the sound of a high-hp V8 doing its best and the smell of tire smoke into a discussion of the CWB and farm policy?

Told you, there's more to life than arguing marketing . . . . . One that comes to mind right at this moment is the sound of a six-horse hitch pulling a two-bottom plow at the Wanham, AB, provincial plowing championships. Another is the antique and classic tractor pull on Canada Day at Rosemary, AB.

Hey Lee, awesome

In the words of Tim the toolman....

Aruuughhh!!!

[melvill]

Thanks, FR. Remember there's no such thing as too much horsepower!

Except maybe on my motorbike....

[FarmRanger]

Be careful on that thing wd9, we'd rather have you here as an agriville contributor, than an organ donor.

When I was a teenager, I loved driving my Dad’s pickup. It would do 85 in the ¼ mile. Quite a bit shy of that Shelby, but it also had the extra weight problem of a pickup truck.

Ahh, the joy (and foolishness) of youth :-)

Lee,

Just in case you forgot... THIS IS THE COMMODITY MARKETING SECTION!

You can go to "Rural Issues" or "Machinery and Equipment" to take a break!

FarmRanger: When I was a teenager, my neighbour's wife would hear me turning the corner and she would run to get her clothes of the line.

I always tried to go by their place as close to 60 MPH as possible or more. They didn't have oiled roads in them thar days and the dust would hang in the air for fifteen minutes after I had passed.

What a miserable cur I was.

Trail of pee and giggles FR, pee and giggles. Doubt there would be any useable organs left at them speeds.
