Oh, I don't think they have us singled out for a dose of disrespect! Many other industries will feel the sting of the Green Tax. As for the "Green Tax", I think it begs the question - how much does it owe its existence to the mentality around Anthro…

From the article linked above, it appears that there is already some action starting on this issue. Perhaps any further energy might be best directed through an organization that al…
Hi John:
It looks like the smaller processors are being driven out of business by the food safety bureaucracy....
Because the small percentage of the meat trade going through small processors...I would bet it is not important to the government to…
Count me in for your group. I sell pork/beef and chicken to local people and have worked hard to get my clients. This is overkill and we need to stand up to the rule makers who have no common sense. I have been following the story in the Stratford B…

China is a superpower in the making and wi…
How could anyone say that god is too heavy handed?
Dale, I've found both FCC and BMO to be first rate for our needs. Very flexible and accommodating.
On the topic of interest rates, 20%+ didn't last that long, but long enough to kill a lot of us. And we thought it was bad.
Well, 3% - 5% interest r…
Wayne, it almost sounds like you are campaigning for Trish Jordan's job.
Because Monsanto has billions of dollars for lawyers and the farmer doesn't. Might makes right, don'tcha know?
I have more of a statement to make, since I haven't read the paper yet--will get to that later. Generally, though as far as farm organizations are concerned, a good question would be how does the Farmer benefit from them. I know the Holland Marsh Fa…
Ya think, maybe?
