BRM programs not working
AgriStability has been reduced to the point of being of very little benefit to most producers. Many have dropped out.
You reduced AgriInvest to $10,000 per year — we can fill a fuel tank once with those kinds of funds — and Saskatchewan Crop Insurance is a complete joke and failure.
When are you going to stop talking and start taking some action on this matter? Many producers might be putting in their last crop if there isn’t an immediate cash injection.

The $5 billion COVID-19 program is more debt, the last thing producers need, but for many of us it’s the only way to get this year’s crop in. We are working on last year’s debt, how are we going to repay that and this year’s? It doesn’t take a mathematical genius to crunch these numbers.
