Are Canadian Farmers the Next Fisherman.

[blackjack]

...from what i understand... sask farmers had been doing fairly well growing special crops ... is it not a case the northern states upped their production of these same crops... i don't know have the answers but why is it that us farmers keep on selling a raw product instead of trying to figure how to get them processed right here ... i think this is what the free marketers are hoping for...

Blackjack I think the free marketers are looking across the border with lust in thier hearts and dont have the ability to see far enough that the yanks arnt going to let them ship any amount of grain into thier market unless it is to get rid of the CWB then watch the guns come out.

How many times do I have to tell you...stop "looking" across our southern border, where we have NO INFLUENCE, and instead, if you need to LOOK some where, then look accross our eastern borders where shedding LITE on what goes on in Quebec, with Alberta dollars, just might embarrass men whom we might have some influence on!!

Oh I forgot...its the****utic to to blast our customers. Forgive me.

Yes I shouldnt look just south of us but I have reletives down their and I understand their system.
Now Quebec just ticks me off to no end Like I said in Earlier comments when I was on my honey moon years ago and met some younger couples from quebec the Farmer was the youngest and the other two couples were school friends who worked for him.
I didnt understand how they were down their farming a small hog operation.
Well Now I no Quebec is different and they are a have not province taking in Sask Alberta money. But the Liberals created this mess and now we have to live with it.
also a note seems only ones who Got CASIP really fugged the numbers.

Hey Great a Farmer is a Farmer no matter where he is from. Were not against you its the fact that this is Canada a program in one province should be the same in another.
Explain the Wheat program in Quebec.

[stormnorm]

grow hrsw 2005 crop about $170mt from the pool and about $120/ac from asra,1.35mt/ac yield

[stormnorm]

asra is 1/3fed 1/3qc 1/3farmers funded,ont is rocking the boat to get it,why dont you ask for it.

[ivbinconned]

The ASRA board has only one rep from the provincial government. The government puts the money in and The farmers run the program, a carrot of land taxes refunded is the incentive to join. So most everybody does.

In 1999 the 120/ per acre on feed grains was the net...farmers did not have to pay any premium up front.

I have been posting about this issue for years now and my information comes from "THE ONTARIO FARMER" paper and from a farmer who lives just over the border from Quebec. Also from a couple of web sites there.

Funny that the "WESTERN SEDUCER" never turns on the lite for us western mushrooms and the Wheat Board belivers to see. for that matter what western polititian of any stripe has!!

[SASKFARMER3]

My god I didnt realize it was that bad between what we get and what Quebec gets.
But look they have one farm organization that represents them in western Canada we have hundreds so the feds divided and fall or do nothing and please no one.
If the CWG or any of these BS organizations would realize that something has to be done instead of just their narrow views.
Most CWG are sitting on daddys farm and havent changed any thing since 1962 and feel that they now what is happening with farmers.
GIVE ME A BREAK
