S3 quotes that the land eventually has to be passed down as you can't take it with you....


An old miser, due to his terrible cheapness, had no friends nor family. Just before he died he called his doctor, his lawyer and a minister to come see him. They complied, and gathered together around his bed.

"I always heard you can't take it with you, but I am going to prove you can," he said. "I have $90,000 cash hidden underneath my mattress. It's in 3 envelopes of $30,000 each. I want each one of you to grab one envelope now and just before they throw the dirt on my grave, you throw the envelopes in."

Weeks later, the three attended the funeral, and true to their word, each threw in their envelope into the grave. On the way back from the cemetery, the minister said, "I don't feel so good about this, I am going to confess, I deperately needed $10,000 for a new church we are building, so I took out $10,000 and threw only $20,000 in the grave."

The doctor said, "I, too, must confess. I am building a clinic and took $20,000 and threw in only $10,000." He looked ashamed.

The lawyer said, "Gentlemen, I'm surprised, shocked and ashamed of both of you. I don't see how you could in good conscience hold on to that money. I threw in a personal check for the entire amount."

While some are buying sheep the smart ones are buying the land !

# nosheepforme!

So I am dumb? Thanks, appreciate it. I would love to see a "smart" guy, come into our area covered with smaller than average farms, young farmers galore, and buy land. If it ain't available, you can't buy it. So then you proceed in a fashion that can offset the lack of land. You diversify and use your land better.

Dumb idea, huh?

Rumor is large Vancouver based investment group sold out. 2 large blocks of land some down by Wilcox and some a little north. Land is all rented by local producers apparently. Who is Garrys right hand man anyways. Never heard of him

[iceman]

If you have no emotional or historical ties and if you got a double or even a triple on your hands way not take a little off the table in this environment?

Cash will be king again and I'm sure these companies are getting calls about redemptions.

It looks to me like the producer may end up holding the bag on this one tho. Which may make the future look interesting

Free ! Never ever did I say you were dumb ! If raising sheep works for you great ! However no one can not complain when the neighbors with money buy up all the land around you ! Each has their own goal ! For some it is sheep for others it is land !


$ freewheatforsheep

lol! I thought you were kinder than that. No one is buying up the land. The land is all tied up. Unless someone dies, it will remain tied up...
