Some one Explain the Pike management Land shares!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well Davie Boy lets just say we both are
at opposite sides on this one.
Yea should have smoozed the guy that
sold maybe, but he has two young nephews
and a brother inlaw that just bought
some poorer dirt and they didnt get a
chance.
I think you will see that if this keeps
going on we will all work for these
companies like our grandfathers did
overseas.
Time will tell.
Also dave your good with the Fed program
if I remember right, is it true that you
can go from 4 to 100 with a healthy
margin and screw up for a few years oh
lets say 4 and the Programs will pay.
Again use High rent, High labor, High
inputs, check on its way.
Now Dave you also grow Lentils.
two and half bags of moldy shit on 12
quarters.
If I remember my lentil days thats not
to good.
Have a great day!!!!!!

Do your research Dave. It is a tweak. It was a
minor tweak in the Act that opened the Province's
land up for sale. Have u read the act and research
the recent changes? Do some diligence please. A
little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

And why are you bringing the CWB into this
conversation. Let it go. It has nothing to do with
what we are talking about here.

[lakenheath]

Do a little research into the Assiniboia group. See
what u come up with, Dave.

Dave. How would u feel if Cargill started buying
up farmland in Saskatchewan. They are in South
America and they are in Australia. Althought in an
exclusive interview with the head of Cargill in
November 2011, he stated Cargill will never be a
land owner and has no intention of becoming one.

[dave4441]

That's the thing, i don't see it as the end of the world, i dont need to research it. I am talking in generalities and most want to see the CWB go, including SF3 and want to see land ownership laws. I find it hard to look want both of these things as they are political opposites. Can you really see laws stating only farmers can own land in Sask? Can you? Farmers without an accent? What if the Irish Turd is a landed immigrant in Sask? What law do we need know to protect us from them. Think that will fly? The more likely possibility is that ownership will be opened up directly to foreign ownership. That is what One Earth for instance is waiting for. They think it is a matter of time.

I would like a new law that says only Voc Ag grads get top contracts each spring. Get a group together. Explain why we need it. Is it going to happen? Nope. Neither is this.

[dave4441]

So you are telling me that the head of Cargill said they are not interested in buying farmland in Nov and 4-5 months later they are buying in S AMerica and Australia. Is that what you are saying? Not sure how i would prove or disprove that one, but again, i do not see Cargill as the enemy as you do. I really don't.

Lakenheath I wrote a letter to my MLA and the Provincial Ag Minister. I received a reply from Bob Bjorneruds office and in it I was told the provincial laws state that only canadian citizens can buy land in saskatchewan and that the Farmland Security Board moniters transactions. The letter went on to say that Saskatchewan has a bright future for agriculture and this is an opportunity for new growers while at the same time allowing for retiring farmers to get out of the business.
I seen a list of new land owners in my RM and quite a names on the map went from chuks and skis to Wong,Lu,Fu,Lee,Maxcrop and many other numbered companies.None of these live in the RM.
I know my MLA and generally support him but I think he needs to be reminded that I am farming and hope to be voting for many years to come. I wonder how many of the names listed above will be voting in sask for them?

[sumdumguy]

Does AgriStability have a limit? Can these guys
just overbid and overpay until they self-destruct
and then the taxpayer picks up the whole tab?

Bet every industry would like a guaranteed
margin!

[SASKFARMER3]

Dave I love the new price of Land thats
Ok and with or without this BS outsider
investment we would have got their.
ITs BS that Canadian farmers wouldnt be
able to buy the land.
Its BS.
Other countries are now waking up and
watching foreign ownership rules.
Saskatchewan maybe needs to look at
whats happening.
Because at less than 15 bus for lentils
and their worthless someone is picking
up the losses.
You and I dave as Tax payers but also
the stupid investors.
