Randy, I'm not at all involved in dairy up here. But I really appreciate that you took the time to look at these trade issues from the farmers perspective in Canada. The situation is very complex and personal feelings often get pulled in turning the trade issues into an emotinal argument. Thank you for your rational thoughts.
My crop has its own special problems due to industry wide oversuply and poor management... growers and handlers. It hard, but the farmer often gets blamed for making improvements Just to become more cost effective and consequently increasing yield thus adding to the problem ... a vicious circle at times. I'm not saying that the mega farms, BTOs, whatever you want to call them are right or wrong...that's a thread for another day.

I dont even know if anyone will read this reply its so far down, but sometime it helps me when I write these thoughts down... i think thats why Dwayn does it too.

My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
