Who wins and who looses with these land deals!

[SASKFARMER3]

Well the seller in most cases wins lotto 649! Most
weren't farmers or weren't very good at it and
finally get a pay day.
Real estate for taking 5 % for doing jack shit and
in some cases not protecting the farmer who is
their client but protecting the buyer!
Now the losers!
Community if its a land company they do nothing
for the local community!
Renters are over paying to work some one else's
land! Working for less to say their a big farmer!
Finally young starting farmers who are getting in
deep. $300,000 plus a quarter your in deep.
Maybe history should be taught in the schools
because most have been here before and
unfortunately we will be here again!

C'mon sasfrmr

You're hoping that history repeats itself soon; but its kind of evident that you don't mean that you will consider it to be an unfortunate reoccurrence.

Be consistant; at least most of the time.

Hey I have no problem when every one is going
one way I slowly go the other then when they turn
I head a full speed their way!
History show you lots yet its not taught. Tell some
one that their family wanted us to farm their land
and work for us a few years back are now
competitors. Real estate agents in the early 80 s
who were bending over backwards to get people
to buy, drought, and oh yea the world is short of
food you'll all be rich!
So yes either way I should win! Sell or wait! That's
farming in Canada.

You really should keep mentioning China in all this somehow, the last thing we need is another language we cannot speak.

[SASKFARMER3]

All i want to do is point out to farmers
thinking about selling that their are
foreign farmers from South africa,
europe etc that want to buy in canada
and come farm here. Getting ones green
card by buying land is wrong IMHO!
I find nothing wrong with people who
want to move to canada to be a canadian.
We all came from some where else but
when a foreign government is buying
thats a problem!

[grrrr]

Speaking of history repeating itself, did anyone watch "The Dust Bowl" on PBS the last two nights? We are all fools if we think that will not happen again. Maybe not to the extent that it did in the 1930's, but economic meltdown and poor crops? Seems loike only a matter of time.

[SASKFARMER3]

Grr that was a great program. The one guy
talked about a school where their were 100
people in a area and 25 went to school a
few years into the drought and hardship
and it was 25 and 3 in school.
But it did end and those who stayed and
survived did well.
History boys History.

What foreign government is buying land? You just make up what you don't know.

[ajl]

The foreign government in question would
be the communist party of China just in
case that wasn't obvious enough. They
are buying up land all over the world
notably in Australia. In Canada they
have to use 'operatives' which are
wealthy immigrants with dual
citizenship. You do not have wealthy
immigrants from China without the
blessing of the Communist party. As for
who losses in this process: younger
Canadian farmers that need to buy land
and rural sask as in 20 yrs the land
will be organized into 100000 acres
units farmed by foreign nationals. Just
in case any of this is not obvious.

Who care who buys the land, long as the
cheque don't bounce and the deal doesn't
fall through. Comedia is open fer
business, some win some lose, who gives a
rats ass, this is capitalism at its best,
being bought out by commies....
