I've read alot of threads that are very debatible in nature, some even deserving an argument; it's allways at least a dood read. The true and simple fact is Canadian Agriculture is inthe SHITTER.
For many of the past 12 years the 'ol "hang on to the tail of the cows & they'll drag you through the bad times" saying ain't working.
We all know grain farming has been in a skid.
Diversification inthe last 4-6 years has generally been not very positive. Any movement into cattle has had drastic casulties, let alone any semi- domesticated beasts. Larger acres of everything from echenicia and hemp to better barley and the jerusulum turnip have had limited cash. Hell the good old oilwell check can't come soon enough, when you're waiting.
We can discuss this along time, but the fact remains the entire basic food sources inthis counry cannot survive on what's left over after margins have been looked after.
Obviously every one has their view. Maybe it's time to let urban consumers know that we simply cannot garuntee supply of cheap and safe and fresh groceries like they have had.
Things have got to change. no more top heavy admin. cost schemes. Agriculture has hit a wall in Canada.
With 20 some days till someone once again has our countrys farmers in their hands, maybe its time they heard from some of us.Call an old friend in the city; see what they think; hell ya might even sell him a freezer full of meat. This current government has ignored agricultural PRODUCERS too long.
