Illinois Family Farms

Absolute garbage SK3. English farmland values have
risen 193 per cent in the past ten years, to an average
of £6,050 per acre. That's around $9600/acre in CDN
funds - yeah, they are just giving land away over
there, total collapse, banks won't lend money.

priced in $can it may have halved, not in printed pounds

Well grass our neigbours lived their for
50 years before selling and moving to
canada so yes your correct and they are
wrong!!!!!!!!

[grassfarmer]

That's getting closer Hedgehog, was $2.20 to the
pound when I moved here in 2000 - it's @$1.60 now
so in straight dollar terms that's a 27% difference due
to the CDN appreciation. Means our Cdn funds buy a
little more but doesn't make a big inroads into the
nearly 200% INCREASE in UK land values.

Well thats what your country man said yesterday.

So you decide to repeat it on an internet forum and defend as the truth even when you don't know the facts?

[sumdumguy]

Whats the difference? Land must be cheap here
for these guys to leave everyone and everything
behind.

Its all OK , cause they'll have to be tough to
survive here, just like their forfathers.

Saskfarmer I am just on a major break down at the moment. Is your neighbour stupid? He has not planted the crop yet but is now going to pay top rent to a chinese buyer? Something does not add up.

[SASKFARMER3]

No next year he might rent it back. 2012 he
doesn't get any money till November. $150,000.
Now rest later. Also GRASs the english neighbor I
was talking to yesterday said his farm in England
just sold again for almost half what he got at the
boom.
