Hahaha, you make me laugh comedian farmer. You are a complete joke 22 year old foreigner who is wet behind the ears and has got alot to learn. Take your investor and stick it where the sun don't shine. Everytime before I open up your posts I put on my rubber boots cause boy the bullshit is going to get deep! If that land up at Ethelbert produces the crop yields you report it would be fetching thousands per acre, not a measly few hundred. That land up there should be all cattle pasture & hay land. Heres a thought pack up & start farming with your relatives in Argentina. Foreigners are not wanted here anyways. Boy oh Boy would there ever be alot of land for me to farm if we could only get rid of you useless hutterites & foreigners. One day at the very least we will bring in regulations to shut down The Hutterite, just like the 40's & 50's. God Damn people were smarter then. Anyways my vote get the hell out of Canada & don't let the door hit you on the way out.

One word:


LOL.

Hahahaha. BTO good one..

[Klause]

Hey... wait a minute.

Are you that guy that lives a half mile away from me, summerfallows everything, takes 3 months to cut 80ac of hay, and can't figure out how to grow more than 40bu oats?

You know, that guy who built dykes to turn my fields into swamps before Water Stewardship was forced to remove them...

You know, that guy who's always hunting on other's property?

You know, that guy who's always badmouthing me... and thinks canola is evil?


Oh wait.... You were wondering why land is cheap.

One word, again.

PEOPLE.

A bit harsh BTO, I wouldnt trade my Hudderite neighbors for you anyday. You are an immigrant as well.

Breadwinner I have 4 colonies within 12 miles of my home base. Far as I am concerned you can have them all. They have pretty much quit coming around now that i have told them all to stay off my property and peddle their disgusting shitty meat, rotten potatoes, cozy kleenex covers and feather pillows somewhere else. I can buy it all at Walmart for less and it dont smell like Hutterite pig crap when I get it home. I have often wondered what some people really see in them though. So feel free to enlighten..

[BreadWinner]

I wonder if they would bother coming over to fight a fire on your land or yard if you had one break out? I wonder if you could not feed your kids who would? I wonder if one of your children wondered off who would come help look. I wonder who would help take your crop in if you were seriously injured or sick? I wonder if your land is worth more with all the colonies around you? Most of all I wonder what they think of you? They probably dont say a bad word about you or your family.

Klause, in our area, there are several waves of new farmers, some who have immigrated from England, South Africa and a lot have come from Alberta.

Young, keen and skilled.

Our area is very good to live in, lots of variety of enterprises, well educated, different farming specializations, and the opportunity to work in oil, and also work available for the kids at a provincial park in the summers. Music in the area.

I like my neighbors. Good people. Glad to have you farm around here Klause. And will help you if able.

You asked the question about lower land prices in Saskatchewan and I'll give you my take on it.

We've had too many years of socialist governments in Saskatchewan. They even went so far as to establish a government LAND BANK in Saskatchewan where the farmer could sell his land to a salvitating government intent on owning the land, to hopefully buy it all, and make the farmer a worker-tenant.

A communist China idea.

They bought a lot of land and then rented it back to farmers.

Socialist land sellers got extrememly well paid. If I tried to buy land, I had to bid against the Government.

It made people leery, and pushed the price of land downm

Thankfully, the NDP is gone.

But it cast a pall on farmland prices.

In my humble opinion.

And Klause, it was a very astute question.

Breadwinner you are naive.

1) I have a fire department close by. If the house burns to the ground I will do a dance as i get new one from homeowner fire insurance. All my treasured files/pics are backed up and in safety deposit boxes. They would be asked to leave if they even showed up with a water truck.

2) It will be a frosty day in hell before any of them feed my children. You must think I just fell off the turnip truck yesterday. What makes you think I would EVER not be able to feed my children. Some of us are solid when it comes to the "what if" scenario

3) Harvest now thats a funny one . First I am more efficient/unit/person than any colony period. End of discussion not even arguable. I have money to hire REAL neighbors or custom ops. in this situation.

4)And no the land is not more valuable because of them. This is mennonite country we dont need hutterites to maintain land value.

5)Lastly I don't care what they think of me. I am not in a popularity contest with the local grade 8 graduates.

Once again please tell me why you feel they are beneficial beyond the worthless virtues you earlier posted??

Hutterites are equal individuals just like you and me. They have strong religious beliefs that are being tested just like yours and mine. It is the uglyness of mankind that people develop such a deep rooted anger towards people different than themselves. I hope that in time you can learn to respect and value the people around you and the country you live in. It would be a pretty terrible place to live if everyone hated their neighbors as much as you do. and Klause if you have a move in mind I would be glad to have you in our neighborhood.
