Rents Not Bein Paid - Whos Farming?????

"not enough room in the cookie jar for that many fat hands" - Ha Ha - Furrow, can I have permission to use that phrase?
Its good.
the biggest and best around here pay on time, thats why they are the biggest and best. They also "average up" their rents. Meaning some is rented at lower values and they only bid high for ground that fits with the rest. I would think most farmers do everything they can to meet their commitments. Landlords enjoy talking about about having "their guy" roll in and harvest a section of land in 6 hours!
More than ever there should be a massive pile of cash/wealth on big farms.

hobby I would agree, that applies to about half of the very big guys here. The other half continues to scrap and fight there way into / out of existence.
Most of the big farms around here have had a huge back up of cash from various "other" sources that keep the ball rolling along with raising good crops and well thought out and planned efficiencies. Its the wana bees that are fuked as well as their landlords. Poor planning, late seeding, late harvests, poor quality grains, always crying about no help, old hired men and on and on.
Your area has some very big and successful farms, some are pushing acres that would be hard to do in sw Sask, but they do it in a much shorter growing season which is most impressive in my mind.
At the end of the day its not about how much you farm its how much you farm well. Some can do 30,000 ac plus very well and efficiently , the next cant do 2000 without continuous *** ups. No different than any business.
Bill sums it up well, common sense kinda guy, might have to watch his daily breakfast blog. Always can learn from guys like that.

I would pay for a couple of "Breakfast with BTO" episodes. Probably not more than 2 .

BTO would keep us informed and on edge.
BTW, thx BTO for sharing BILL...

that's what i tried to say on here a couple weeks ago, some people actually think there getting $10.50 for canola .lol

[helmsdale]

$10.50 canola, $7.00 #2-13.5Px, $6.00 feed wheat, $12-$13.00 peas... or $7.25 canola, $4.83 #2-13.5px, $4.14 feed wheat, $8.30-$9.00 peas (all in $US). All the sudden it doesnt look all that sexy. You know all of our inputs are going to be priced in $US going forward. God forbid, we go back to high priced fertilizer. Could you afford to drop $0.60CDN/LB+?

Have you ever tried to stack $100.00 Canadian notes, just to determine their tipping point?

Now try it with US notes, and report back.

Kegs of whiskey - too funny!!! What's their tipping point?
