Pine River

Cowman,
Land still is cheap, yes I am from north eat England, the cheapest land in England, but an acre of land will still cost you £2,800, that is $6,000, that is if you get the chance to bid for it. The kids are paying £80K-£100K and that is pound sterling for a 1 bedroom apartment. There is no future for my 3 sons over here. Every industry is blitzed with red tape, if you have a sheep that is lame you can have the RSPCA onto you immediately. It seems that there is more cheifs than indians over here, all these educated people over here don't want to be covered in cow muck or digging holes for a living they want to tell us wat to do

Roly,
Whether it's Pine River MB or Pine River BC, I hope you get a chance to come live and farm in Canada. There really is no comparison to this beautiful land.

Take care.

PS> Pine River in the BC Peace region has lots of H2O...just ask anyone around here what happened at the tail end of haying season and harvest...40 days and 40 nights of liquid sunshine (or at least it bloody well seemed like it at the time).

Roly: You come on over! The reasons you give for coming are the reasons just about all our anscestors had for coming!
The chance of a better life, some freedom, and a future for their family.
In this country the government hasn't got completely out of hand with the "insanity" of totally ruling our lives...although they are doing their best to get there! Thankfully they are so incompetent that you can usually do an end run around a lot of their stupider ideas! Gun control would be a classic example: The federal government brought in gun control to stop crime. Of course it didn't work and the criminals now have more guns than ever! The only ones who don't have guns are the people who might actually need them. But in a way it has worked out because now the criminals can sell guns and ammo to the farmers(who actually need them). So the farmer avoids the red tape, the criminal has a new revenue source, and we have employed a whole bunch of halfwits in the gun registry, who would probably starve to death if they had to get a real job!
