APAS complaint

Why is (Agricultural Producers of Saskatchewan) so dysfunctional?

APAS continues to abuse the trust and hard-earned money that some of the producers of this province are putting into this organization.

As well as a continued complete lack of good policy for agriculture, and non-existent public presence, now they are wasting your money by paying a high-priced lawyer to harass a past-president by sending out threatening letters.

If they are stupid enough to take me to court, I will win.

Over its history, no other organization has wasted hundreds of thousands of dollars on legal fees and severance payouts. In 10 years it has burned though over 40 staff, through poor management and board incompetence. Now I see on their website the latest circus act at the Crop Production Show. What’s next, will they dress their communications person up in a monkey suit and give away used vacuum cleaners to its members?

Canola oil transloading facility opens

DP World just opened its new canola oil transload facility at the Port of Vancouver. It can ship one million tonnes of the commodity per year.

As it was so very well put in “ APAS Nurses” WP letter Jan. 27. This once respected voice for farmers has fallen to a sham. Only when (Saskatchewan Association of Rural Muncipalities) sets up an ag policy committee with a public forum to gather farmer’s input, will the producers of this province have a credible voice. And it would only cost us about $1,500 per RM.
