Newest BS with foreign Buyers!

[farmaholic]

Another point: So if anyone had the cash,
because that may be the big difference
here, would you pay the prices the evil
investors are willing to pay? If the
investment companies are paying cash and
your not--huge difference.

Good points.
Pull the titles and you will see that a lot of the deals are borrowed to the hilt by Canadian banks.
NO real cash.
Yes Ive talked to our AG minister and Deputy etc.
Im a Saskparty supporter and they know Im Pissed at this.
Total donations to the cause Zip since this started.
On the one sale from the summer it seems I would have had a smaller mortgage than the investor that purchased it.
At least I had the 30 Percent down.
Its like the article in this weeks Western Producer from Australia. Farming in these parts for a 100 years has given on average 2 to 3 percent return the new buyers will realize some day.
Good article.

Regarding hutts farmaholic, no we can't
compete...its Socialism running in a capitalist
environment if that's how they want to run maybe
they should move to China where that mentality is
tolerated, in between time this insanity is breaking
down our communities

[seabass]

Make the Hutts join the army. They will be look'n for visas to another country in a hurry. They are pretty cocky people for being a bunch of inbred jeds

[phoenix64]

World War I brought persecution from the US
government because huts refused to serve in the
military so as a group they made arrangements
with the Canadian government which granted
them immunity from the draft as a result almost all
of them move to Western Canada, Makes me
angry, my grandfather fought for four years in the
trenches in France came back to Canada a mess
so that the Hutterites could have the freedoms
that they enjoy today now we have to compete
against them

A lot of mexican mennonites moving back to
Western Canada looking to purchase farmland, as
some already have, left this country in the 20s for
different reasons one being they didnt believe in
conscription while many of our family members
fought and died in WW11. Some of these people
have helped fill the labor shortage in Ag while
others are bidding up land prices to unsustainable
price levels. Talk of these groups building there
own schools outside our current public school
system in order to preserve their German heritage
that they so desperately desire all the while
segregating themselves from the rest of our
society. Personally have very mixed feelings on
this issue.

How do the hutts do it ? with captive lobor and preferintal gov policys AND THE FACT ALL LITTLE DOGS LIKE TO CRAP ON THE BIG PILE so everyone with land to sell runs to them,.

[tstep]

Send emails to the farm land security board and help them track this foreign money that is coming in to **** it up for the young farmers that want to get into this business. I have been sending them info about a land owner from Ireland in our area. I have no problem with the Hutts buying and farming this land. At least they support the local communities. These foreign investors whether they are from overseas or other provinces do absolutely **** all for the local economy. I'm with you SF3, we have get after the gov't the stop this nonsense.

[phoenix64]

Ditto, I am in!

[tweaker101]

Ditto also I will send some emails to my MLA, I am trying to expand our farm....I am not a 20 somthing...but it sure is disheartening when you see the signs that show up along the road in our area saying wanted farm land call Doug and you know it anint your neighbour who is going to buy the land but someone from God knows where thinking that they can make a fast buck. My family supports our local economy...we contribute to the rinks,schools and pretty much anyone who asks we try and help in one way or another. I would take a stab in the dark and say all this foreign investment will go through a cycle...when no one will rent the land or either they see it aint all roses...LOL. Until then I will keep doing what I am and maybe my son will be able to buy more land to grow our farm.

Had supper last night with a old friend who said he works with a guy that moved from Guiana. (gold). This guy said the same thing was happening their Chinese buying or taking farm land from original owners. Lawlessness happening all over.
Those that say this is just simple business. I ask you, How easy is it for a Canadian to go to China and buy something their.
Simple question.
Or how easy is it to become a citizen their.

SF3, document what you have and send it to the FLSB. They can't make claims based on innuendo so give them something to work with.
