Started to do the survey and quit because it is the same questions over and over again..

[food4u]

What is the difference between an investor buying the land and renting out or a developer buying and promptly stripping it and building houses( urban sprawl)...How many thousands acres of prime farm land are going under asphalt south and west of Regina as we speak?

Let me try again

 It's a predetermined survey. 
 
The ag minister should meet with producers the same way he met with bankers, Doug Elmsey etc etc. Etc.

It really doesn't matter who ends up owning it and even I have realized it might be a good exit option.

Problem is who is going to farm it.

Russia tried state ownership. Broad acre tried investor ownership.

Results were the same.

Well if you don't own it then why would you give a **** who farms it. Let the market determine what land is worth not the theory that the guys kid down the road deserves land at 1960's prices because he needs a chance to start out. Like I said before on this subject on this site, if a farmer feels that strongly that giving someone a break is right then go ahead and sell your land for nothing
When or if I sell I want maximum dollar for all of the bullshit and hard work that farming is. And if I sell I don't give a shit if aliens buy it because I'm out

We had the perfect rural system, population, infrastructure in the 60& 70's, but pissed it all away for BIGGER is better more profitable.

Turned more retirees into labor for mega family farms. Destroying the roads/highways/elevators, in the name of EFFICIENCIES for BIG businesses up the chain!

Society gives a SH*T who provides dirt CHEAP food. If it comes back to bite them too f*ing bad, it's all gone forever.

Gov's with NO long term plan or vision. Sell to the Chinese, let them work for f*ck all, taking all the risks.

Most farmers who are against investors know they missed the boat and want to turn back the clock.In most cases the starting young guys would not be farming the land they are if investors and retirering farmers did not think renting out land was a good deal.If you have been farming more than 10 years you did have a chance to buy without investor competition.

No one should give a shit when broad acre leaves the mess they did?
