Spring Rent!!!

[dubsy]

How do you guys approach neighbouring farmers about aquiring land?

[SASKFARMER3]

We have some long term relationships that over the years discussion has taken place about renting or purchasing. In some cases they honor the original hand shake, only one neighbor who died his widow gave the land to some one else. All is fair. Some we just approach and ask. Like father in law says if you don't ask how will they ever know. It ps some off but hey some times they phone out of the blue and you have a new farm or purchase. Always have financing in place to do purchases. Its been long term goal of the farm to get to certain size. Some times they just call out of the blue, They don't like the other guys or your who they want or what ever. But one thing with this strategy farm is in a ten mile radius, no big traveling.

Somehow the farm seems bigger! I left home in the morning on the tractor and chisel plow, and never got home fer 2 weeks. A 500 mile row, takes a long time to hoe. Carrots, smarrots, too many rabbints in our area!! Nope its spagetti er nothin next year.......

Saskfarmer3 - Ain't you already farming land in Regina/Balcarres/Kamsack??? You don't consider that spread out??? What the hell go for it, you got nothing to loose, its only money. No worries, The Hutts will buy you out when the bank starts calling you on the Black Berry...

Above thread reads in a ten mile radius.

Burbert...your dream of growing spaghetti is more realistic than other farmer's dreams of growing their own durum for their own spaghetti manufacturing plant. How deep do you plant that stuff? I guess the seed has to be imported from the US or Italy as there are very few seed dealers in Canada.

Ordered the spagetti seed on e-bay..... They got everything fer sale on that site!

Burbert.

Continuing with your meatball idea of strip pasta farming your province, have you given any consideration to the cost of having to do the buy back? It may sink your farm if you were to widen it out to an airseeder width!!!

Canada geese are interesting characters. I watched a group each take a row of emerged cereal. Snip, snip, snip for 10 yards, then off they migrated. Rabbits haven't the brains of a goose. Presented with your 2" row of carrots the erratic things would soon hop sideways which would lessen your crop loss. Besides, you shouldn't concern yourself with too many rabbits in your area when your original objective was to spread the risk out over the other 499 and 1/2 miles.
