Barley Farmer, I can see you are very passionate about the care and attention you and the volunteers have put into the various trails around the province. I generally don't ride in places with groomed trails so I never really put much thought into it. Last year my wife and I used the quad trails to great enjoyment and this winter we used the trails again. I will admit that none of us have bought trail passes for that area (long island). After reading the various posts regarding the subject, I understand the reasoning behind the fees.I will be buying a trail pass for this coming year( or is it for a year after you pay? Anyway I am sorry that you are being subjected to abuse from various dipchits but you have to realize that we are in an era of self entitlement due to the fact that some people were never told no by their parents. The SRD doesn't really have to do anything to shut down any kind of OHV use as they are just waiting for the whole thing to implode on itself.:rant:

We were out riding this weekend and of course some a-holes had to take their quads down the trails in my area!!They are probably lucky they were gone before we caught up to them because it would be really hard to fix four flat tires and a broken eye socket out on the trails!!!The trails would probably been ok for another 2 weeks but now with the ruts I'm guessing they'll be done next week!!And it's hard on my kids learning to ride in ruts that were probably a foot deep right down the middle of the trail!!These a-holes want to show how awesome their quads are drive beside the trail in the snow thats 2 and half feet deep!!Oh thats right ......they can't!!!!!They probably don't even have trail passes for my area......I buy four every year!!!!!!I volenteer my time to keep supplies and fire wood at the one cabin then when the last couple of family rides these dicks come in and wreck it for everyone!!!!Maybe if they would use common sense and realize if your cutting ruts as soon as your leave the truck or you can't drive through the grader bank it might be a little too early in the season for quads!!!Smartest part of these dicks obviously ran down their dad's leg!!!!:realmad:
wow I read all the posts...... sorry guys* but there are some valid points here....I respect the sledding community as well as the quadders, I admit I use sled trails on* the quad...but it's usually when the season is over and* then when i'm helpin out to clear deadfall and keep the trails that I enjoy using in better condition for next time i want to use em......... Can't we all just get along !* ha ha** just kidding, but i'll bet that if you tell someone the rules that there ignorant too then they will respect both.* my $0.02

No but they are the biggest fawking whiners
around and they get the biggest handouts

Whiner or not we need all the farmers out there to keep doing what they do, they have a tough job just like everybody else. Without them no beer (from barley), no bread, eggs,meat, hell most everything we all eat and more.
Sure some of our tax $$$$ go to the farmers, but it has to be done if you want to eat.

Without the farmer what are you planning on eating???? They get some handouts (not often or easy to get) to keep them going, becuase they are needed. Yes farm plates (they cost more than our plates) ,farm fuel sure (but all industry that works off road gets the same fuel) even the oil companies use dyed fuel for all their off road stuff.
No such thing as "cheaper" farm electric or natural gas, we all get screwed on that stuff.
Lots of farmers also work one or 2 other jobs over the winter (often away from family just to keep bills paid).
Everybody has to work hard.......not just you!!!!

The plates are just to allow you to buy farm fuel (sometimes cheaper,but not always).
I'm not sure who told you electric and natural gas was cheaper, i grew up in the center of farming & my wifes mom is farming now, all those rates are the same range as everybody else. Do you know some great secret that will save farmers cash on bills??

Farmers are essential until robots can totally take over farming operations, and until robots can totally run, maintain, and farm the materials we need, there will always be a need for people in any operation, especially farming.
