[QUOTE="Alberta farmer, post: 671997, member: 8978"] We keep hearing about how agriculture should be profitable but down on the farm we sure don't see it? When our cattle sell for the same price we were getting 20 years ago it is discouraging. In the meantime everything we buy to produce those cattle has gone up. In the long run that just isn't sustainable? We live like dogs so we can feed the city slickers cheaply...so they can buy that new boat, RV, or whatever the toy of the day is? The fertilizer companies have tried to keep prices up and some farmers have just cut back on using fertilizer. I hope this will drive up the price of grain and what I really hope is the light will come on for some of these guys? Produce less...get paid more for the product? We need to quit over producing and get back where we supply only the amount that is profitable. I doubt that can be done with the current system of the independent farmer? But just wait until the large corporations completely control the food output...then you will see food prices rising to highs never dreamed of. [/QUOTE]
