And they only take and don’t contribute to anything in communities . Tax’s , buy next to nothing as only sell . Blah blah .

You got that right. They are very good at milking the system for what it’s worth on many fronts
For such a “ religious “ group they will go out of their way to lie or twist the story to benefit them
They are multi million dollar companies that hide behind a religious church group to make profits. You cannot compete with them. They are into everything under the sun for manufacturing and don’t have to play by the same rules as everyone else.
Govt is going to be looking for $$ here to start paying back this covid money and I think it’s time they started taxing these guys like the rest of society. Would be worth a few billion for the govt pocket across Canada

"Bunch of covid cases in central Alberta are all tied to hudderite colonys who are going to farmers markets with infected individuals. This is just an FYI for your family. This is directly from my source on the floor."

This was sent to me from a friend within AHS.

Not going to "single" them out in the news as they are a religious group. But I think the public should know. So spread the word.

your crops look great Fred. We have some beauties here as well. We sprayed our lentils with fungicide's yesterday. No sign of disease but as hot as it was still had wet tires on high clearance sprayer at noon when finished up. They definately have their own ecosystem going on under the canopy

When they go down they go down don't they? We had to get a trackhoe in to dig a custom operator out on our land a few years ago. Could budge it with a 4 wheel drive tractor

Fun trying to get fungicide on here
View attachment 227250

Just got done fuging chickpeas and some lentils.. last few years I just left wide tires in and yes you trample more crop down, but it seams to come back pretty decent and takes the risk of stuck out completely.. skinny's are Rought, kick rocks out and crop ussally 100 percent dead behind.. will grab a picture in a week to show how it comes back in wides.. Sucks to get the 4wd in your feild and always use the biggest tractor first when towing out a sprayer, not that forgiving if not

Hows everyone holding up? Stressful days with a big crop coming and violent storms almost every night. Feeling lucky punk? (Dirty Harry voice)
