thousands out there.

The bad news is this a real serious indication that
wheels are falling off the economy.

How is the investment in one earth farms doing?

Or are they sitting this year out and collecting too wet to seed payments?

bucket, you smarty rascal, you must have opened some of the attachments on sedar. Pars

[bucket]

Nope, but this rainy weather gives me lots to think about.

Don't even know what sedar is/was/are.

[bucket]

I am on dial up, so I don't research a whole lot takes too much time. Me big dummy.

Parsley if you find something, could you just cut and paste it on a post here.thx.

[parsley]

bucket,
sedar is a website that lists ALL pertinent legal information...annual meeting notifications, financial sheets, warnings, etc. for every Canadian business that issues stocks/bonds etc. on the stock exchange.

I am not allowed to copy or cut and paste information from the website. You can only do it yourself.

www.sedar.com My best, Pars

25000 acres went unseeded and they expect those acres to be eligible for a claim to be determined - lets just say close to 2million dollars.

Parsley, I found the latest report to be rather
humorous.

I was especially amused by the management fees
charged by non-farmers to run the farm. Annual
office space rent was interesting also. Quite a
different program than what we are used to in
Saskatchewan. Of course, it is pretty hard to
impress the unsophisticated investors when you
are pitching the farm investment sitting across
the kitchen table with a Grainnews and a box
empty Pilsner box in the porch.

I also expect a large inventory adjustment on the
seeded crop.

With the reserve land being some of the poorest
in the province, paragraph 2 on page 24 tells me
that this is where the Indians get screwed.

Many of us said it right when Sprott announced
this investment vehicle, "One Earth Farms is not
about farming".

Perhaps we can all learn from this. The smartest
guys in the room were the ones with their hand
out, not the ones with the land, minerals or
money.

Snooping is good business. You may want to mouse your way around Viterra, or the old Agricore United, inland terminals, and don't forget biotech companies. You will find the gist of agreements made with the CWB. With the railroads.

Numbers often tell you more than you ever want to know. And they can also give you a heads up for the growing season.

You find out who is on taxpayer-grant welfare. Who jumps from company to company. Who is well managed. Who is up front and who is devious. How certain groups, and people, spiderweb. It's quite fascinating,

For me, some of the mining companies,.... well, I'm speechless. Pars

[wheatking16]

Yeah, I am a novice to the snooping that you are
referring too. I had a close encounter with the large
ponzi scheme out of Calgary during its infancy.
Since then I have been aware of the people trail. I
also try to read the Vancouver Sun's David Baines
articles. The mining industry is certainly filled with
colourful characters.

I haven't spent any time reading Viterra filings, but I
suppose most farmers haven't. It is quite amazing
that so few in the industry know so little about it's
history and it's workings.

I am friends with Ray Somerville and his family and
am shocked that so few of the farmers it that area
were even aware of his impact on grain marketing.
I guess that was a generation ago.

The sheep are fewer in numbers everyday though.

[parsley]

i made it a point to drive across the province to meet Ray and Myrtle a few years ago, and to shake his hand, and thank him. If it wasn't for Ray Somerville, farmers would still be refused a CWB license to ship their grain to a feedlot in another province.

He's short in stature, but by gosh, he must have a trophy set to sit through years of Wheat Board ordeal at the Supreme Court of Canada.

I'm not so sure if there are too many real men like him anymore. Give them my kindest regards next time you see them, will you?

I am so pleased to have met both of them. Pars

I have said from day one the whole farmeing side of one earth will be a complete and utter disaster, I will be right - they will get mother natuerd. But that has little to do with the big picture sprotts involved in.

[wheatking16]

I was fortunate to know Ray back in the day and
he was a confident, somewhat intimidating
individual.

I also was privy to first hand accounts of local
NDP/CPP farmers chasing Ray and some other
individuals as they trucked THEIR grain into
Alberta. Very interesting stories. Some of the
others ran afoul of the board shipping grain into
BC and faced fines. One individual told me he
would have liked to put up a better fight, but the
defense fund was limited. Hence the desire to get
market value for his grain.
