Is Agriculture Immune to Economic Volatility

The quarterly report showing all time highs?

Canadian agriculture will not be the worst place to be when the storm hits....trust me.

yeah, Cott, I was a bit surprised myself with Canadian and US equity funds rising dramatically, along with Europeon financials. Interesting to note that Asian utility investments have received lukewarm grades. And I agree that ag returns (depending on the sector) should come through the next round of turmoil in good position. However, I am convinced that interest rates have only one way to go - up, look for 7 to 9% in the next 2 years. Every action creates an opposite and equal reaction. Something has to drive investment, trade and confidence - note we are being told that we are saving too much!

Welcome Shaun,

I've clicked on your blog many times.

The AV boys get to feeling their oats a little when the sun comes up, and they ride 1/4 of a round, on these damp days and then, horrors, plug up solid with flax winding and have to dig it out with a crowbar. LOL

Just ignore them when they're testy, and thanks for stopping by. Pars

Sorry for the profanity

[joedales]

Hi Cotton:

Please go easy on the profanity....alot of the users point it out to me and I hate to be the ref....I cleaned out the swearing....you can get your point across with out insulting the people with tough words.

I asked Shaun to participate on Agriville, he is a young farmer who I had the pleasure to visit this summer near Picture Butte, Alberta.

Check out his website at www.realagriculture.com and you will see he is with you if you are for agriculture and farmers. I doubt you guys will agree on everything...

Welcome Shaun, I guess I forgot to tell you this was a full contact discussion forum.

Thanks,

Joe Dales
