Acres Might Not have a Renter! or be SEEDED!

Ah blackpowder it is and when the droughts come back we will shine again.
Ah farming why pit one against the other just realize one area has been decimated by rain. As a farmer I never believed I would hate to see a rain cloud or snow storm.
Never in my wildest dreams, But we do.
Good land is still selling for $396,000.00 poor is 160.000.00

Too bad Ducks Unlimited don't kick in when a guy pays big bucks for some dirt. Some got a surprise this year.
Ducks and geese cant make land payments.

The land will get seeded, it always does. Rent price may be lowered but landlords find solutions. They can have it custom farmed or else rent for lower values. Someone will come in and farm it.
big farms around here are not scared to pay their men to drive equipment 125 km to plant and extra 1700 acres.
It is fascinating that these guys travel to the neighbouring RMs to rent land, then those neighbours travel to their RM to rent land. Then again, these operations run over 15,000 to 45,000 acres.

Got neighbors that are doing it. Landlord realizes that he has a good farmer farming the land and knows that it is tough times and will lower the rental rate. Farmer told me that this is what he told his landlord for this coming year. Got it right from the horses mouth. Some local landlords want to have local farmers farming the land and look after it. That is the problem with far away investors they have no idea what goes on and are just looking at the dollar. So then the farmer, stupid as some are, plants the crops the make the money and throws the stewardship out the window.

Some BTO Farmall type will always rent from the Chinese investor so the investment game will continue.

It's just about the overseas investor getting 4-5% ROI and don't care how the land is treated and who rents it.

I am looking forward to the day that some of my "neighbors" come with their hat in their hand in my yard to rent/buy my land. The so called "charity" , and the greed and the land trading tactics that have been used will be reciprocated back to them. I don't have to sell/rent , as I am enjoying what I do. Also I am 45 years old and just getting to a point where we are comfortable. Cattle prices have helped a lot the last few years. Like I said earlier , I will remember how my neighbors treated me , and they won't be too happy with the shit sandwich I have waiting for them.

That's harsh. But I get it.

I wish someone would come into my yard with their cheque book.

I am not going to shop my farm around. If these guys so full of piss and vinegar are not brave enough to ask then they shouldn't be farming.
