I believe I am the only farmer here. Not sidestepping... it has been mentioned here in FWR many times in the past and everyone here is aware of it except you NB. Sorry for the delay in keeping you up to date in the discussion. Unfortunately it is repeat information and has been discussed multiple times.
NB, What job do you have that deals with salmon?
Sorry Swami, I lost any hope of ever getting into the fishing business as I'm from the east coast. Hopefully, you will forgive my ignorance about your employment as I don't have time to read every post and you haven't forwarded a resume to me. A thousand pardons, kind Sir.
BUTMy grandfather used to run a quite successful processing plant (now shuttered) , I've witnessed the destruction of prime lobstering areas due to poor siting in Nova Scotia, and learned from the stupidity exercised by those in authority that the gubmint doesn't have the overall industries best practices and interests at heart, nor do industries with a very checkered past tend to man up and promote truth over fiction. Instead, they just donate a gazilion dollars to curry favour from the reining monarchs. I don't want to see the same thing happen here in my adopted home.
Does that clear up those muddied waters for you, oh Great Kahuna?
PS - The question wasn't if they
WORKED in the industry, it was whether the derived any or all of their income from "farming".
