Problem with the Ag Canada design of the system in Saskatchewan with our useless Sask Crop Insurance and No Protection from CASIP Were done.
Its not that I cant compete against the Ontario Alberta Quebec or Americans and EU, I can because of cheap land costs high nutrient soil and abundant rain fall. Whats killing me is the frost of 2002, Wet wet spring 2003 then stopped. and finally frost 2004. Our insurance premium in Sask for 2006 will be $60,000.00 For what peanuts.
It will be the Governments and their useless programs that take me down not my marketing or dealing. Some bureaucrat that knows better than the farmer.
Kevin hursh should do what he knows best, Nothing!

GEEZ horse, please post the number of the highway on here before you decide to get plastered and behind the wheel so none of us are on the same road !!!

Kevin Hursh is good at one thing only. He will say what ever anybody wants as long as they have enough money to pay him to say it. A man of principle, you say. The principle being that he is going to make money.

Solidarity Rally April 5th. Farmers expected in Ottawa from Ontario, Quebec (UPA claims to have at least 3000 coming), Nova Scotia, PEI, and several coming from the prairies (so far). Tractors will be driven to Ottawa from as far as 300 km away. April 6 sounds like there will be rolling blockades of food distribution terminals starting in Ottawa and progressing across Ontario.

no offence kevin , but i dont think hes had an original idea in his life.
kevin has jumped on every bandwagon there was in the past 20 years.
ostrich, emu ,elk. hog barns, the sask wheat pool destruction crew , etc.
that and wishy washey editorials where he tries to please everyone.
Never takes a stand, esp.if it might endanger his pocket book.He has been a trusted voice to deliver the corprate veiw.

Emrald is right cowman, if we take "5 extra minutes" to get something done like drive like a sane person, get some extra sleep and what have you, the economy will not come to a grinding halt, nor will the earth fall off it's axis.

The point of the article was not to have the economy crash but rather we are constantly pushed for our time. It doesn't seem to matter if it is for work, play or for family, there are ever increasing demands on our time. I would argue that behaving like a hamster on a wheel could lead to worse things happening than if we just slowed down a little.

I don't think anyone would fault a person for wanting to make the proverbial buck, but it seems as though that has become the most important thing versus the things that money just can't buy you. An example would be more time with your family. Doesn't matter how much money you make if you don't have anyone to share it with. At the end of the day - you can't take it with you.

When a person is on his or her death bed do you really think they regret not making that extra dollar or do they wish they had spent more time with the people that mattered most in their lives?

[cowman]

Well Linda you just might be right. I don't know... it just never worked for me. I actually liked making money more than caring for my family! Probably some dark sinister thing in my nature? I really don't think I'll lie on my death bed regretting my life. Just my opinion.
And for the record: I doubt I've ever speeded in my life(at least once I got past 21) and the same thing goes for drunk driving!
I will also admit some of these oil field boys do have a heavy foot!

[SASKFARMER3]

On a local radio show he comes on as the voice of agriculture in saskatchewan.
What a Joke.
He has been out of touch with reality for so long, as to whats happening in rural canada but its funny the people in the cities believe him.

[cowman]

Actually cowman, most people make money to care for their family !~!!!!!!
