Sorry Hedge I was talking to Furrow, but it is nice to know what land is renting fer overseas. So Furrow what is it??? WE do things B.I.G around here, gotta crush the competition (hutts) or their gon get itall. Not under my watch, that I kin guarantee!!!! Sask how much was the Cash Rent that the guy backed put on???

[stubblejumper]

depape you should know since you are the king of flawed studdies

Okay stubble, care to point out just one of those flaws for a change? No? Didn't think so.

Most of it was $60 , a $20 jump in two years. And alot of 10,000ac plus guys with borrowed money. It will be interesting to say the least. Some may do just fine and some will be going over a cliff. It has happened in this area already after three excellent years let alone a possible wreck this fall. That $70/ac headline on this thread does not cover some of the rent here in areas.

[SASKFARMER3]

50 to 60 and he walked.

[Hopperbin]

And there was not 50 percent of the rent paid on April 30th or sooner, hmmmmmmmmmm

Furrow, this sounds like opportunity for you. Negotiate a reasonable rent, Do a burn off and slide in some oats. P&H in Battleford have been very good buying oats from farmers around here. Just a thought.

[BTOfarmallll]

Sounds CHEAP. Slide in some oats??? Rentitall & Slide er' all in to Canola. Nothing to lose, lotta land to gain, Hutts gon get it otherwise.....

I believe the 5% discount likens Crop Insurance to almost every private company that hss a deductible. Why are you whining about 5% when they just upped it from $50 to $70 which is a 40% increase over last year (PS I am not including the $30 which was an ad hoc payment that the government announced).

[furrowtickler]

May sound cheap but it is all relative. Southern Manatoba is a world away and about 3 week longer growing season. Being prone to fall frosts in early sept, now is not the time. I will take care of what I got left. Extra dirt does not mean extra income around here. We are not lookin for more dirt anyway at this time. Rather put an extra $20-30/ac into my own dirt than pay 60 . It has paid off huge in the past few years for us. I will sit and watch for now.

You forgot this was a drive by shooting???

Tom:

I sincerely want to talk to anyone who feels strongly about the single desk. I really want to understand their conviction in the absence of evidence - or if there is evidence, what am I missing?

If stubble responds, great. We can have a chat and get to understand each other a bit better. He/she may even have some evidence or thoughts I've overlooked.

But if he doesn't answer, my position is confirmed; there is no evidence and the single desk support is, at best, emotional and hence ideological.
