John Deere and his many victims

I was sitting out on the stoop here at Falling Downs, enjoying the birds at the various feeders, when a half-million$ John Deere tractor drove by. It was towing a very impressive John Deere seeding rig that would have easily been worth another quarter million.

What that tells you is that Buddy in the air-conditioned cab of that John Deere is really really hoping there's a good market for canola and soybeans this year, because that's the only way he's going to make the payments on his hardware.

That's gotta be a tough pickle to be in. It wasn't the canola farmers who thought it would be clever to arrest that Huawei CFO.

No, that was really smart folks in Ottawa, who universally agree that "diversity is our strength."

Mr. Farmer doesn't really give a shit about diversity. He totally does not care about Justin and Chrystia's latest photo-op.


He cares about making his John Deere payments.
