One Earth Farms!

[grrrr]

The way I understand it is that the soil in Australia is very low in organic matter. Most of it is tied up in the vegetation. Remove the vegetation and you remove a good chunk of the organic matter and leave a very fragile and vulnerable soil behind. Leaving the trees and natural cover on these soils is probably the right thing to do BUT the farmer cannot carry the country on his back. The Government has to buy up this land at a fair price and own it as crown land. (In Australia and Canada)

If he gets fed money because he is losing his shirt, then, if I was an investor, I would be getting out because the writing is on the wall. Right?

One earth can't go to investors and instill confidence while asking the government to bail them out - can they?

How would you promote that investment:

One Earth Farms,
Guaranteed returns from the government of canada?

CSB's would do the same thing - wouldn't they?

lots of fortunes have been built on govt. money. haven't heard from jim rogers lately beating the drum for ag. commodities and lamborghinis. is he still hitting the business news and yelling a lot?

In my mind it all depends on their landlords - the chiefs.

How much/acre are they asking from these guys? Is it on a share basis?

He was blabbing at original news conference that they were going to pay above what current tenants were paying. Way above. Yea that's a good one.

It always disgusts me to see how quickly retailers and suppliers jump on board with these grand visionaries to get a piece of the action.

They turn their back on individual farms to pad their sales numbers and when things go south they cry the blues. It would be interesting to know the discounts that get written.

Sounds like Canada's next "Outstanding Young Farmer"

Cotton "Their effeciencies will kill us' HaHa that's funny!

Their size will kill them. I'm looking forward to going to their bankruptcy auction in 5 or 6 years. Could be a lot of cheap equipment to pick-up there. She'll be a doozie.

[jensend]

i think their overheads will kill them.
