Balcarres Land and Auction

[hobbyfrmr]

****.....I'm in the "recreational" leagues. .... by choice!

I think the proper term is "in the way". Obstructing progressive farms from making a nice half section or section.

[farmaholic]

Hobby. ... most of our farm is in a nice tight block already....could use the odd couple of pieces to make the block more complete. About 4 1/2 miles from one end to the other and 1 1/2 miles across. With the yard about in the middle of it all. Spoiled rotten considering travelling to the furthest reaches. 4 sections total.

[RedLentil]

Lots of talk Redlentil, where do you farm...or do you just talk shit?

No shit talk here. SW sask. We have been lucky the last few years with red lentils and durum. The landlords did well, now Some expect it.

Thats the difference between the West side and the East.
If you guys get our shitty weather for the next 15 your area will have a different attitude on farming. Mud is dud. Even the South side of the valley farmers have different weather than the north side. You can farm 40000 acres on the south side but probably 30000 on the north. The valley causes weather to do strange things.

How about do the opposite of what every farmer around you is doing. Let them pile on the Debt with land and equipment at these prices and as crop prices drop further. Wait and then when the shit hits the fan come back into the game.

Up up and away has its day but for those that remember history. We had 160 to 200 in the 80S then we had 50 to 75 for 20 plus years then this last blip.

Land is dropping in value in USA it will happen in Canada.

Opportunities are just a few years away. IMO thats when the good times roll.

We still farm in Canada one of the hardest places in the world to grow a crop. Mother nature still holds the cards and she is one evil bitch.

I heard Sorgard rented some of their land, along with some of that land from that big guy in Melville that went tits up.

[HappyFarmer]

I'm with farma....honestly I don't know how you big guys deal with all that. Some days on my little 2000 acre farm it feels like I can just barley handle that. I must be a weakling. But Honeslty happy with what we have. Same thing if a bit more came up close by for the right deal would look at it but not gonna case anything that's looking to get chased

I can support redlentils comments. I can post higher numbers than he does. East central AB.
Corrections always come. I wont be gleeful though. All the money will be in Phoenix and I'll be kicking turds.

[SASKFARMER3]

A correction is coming. And it is real close.

Look at what happens in the USA in ag two years later it happens in Canada

Wait till Toronto Bankers and Calgary Bankers decide that Ag isn't the Dreamy club to be part of. Wow the screws will tighten.

Is it the price of lentils and durum that drive rent or is it the price of land? Do farmers really want the price of land, your biggest asset to drop? I would think it would be better to see price of equip and inputs to drop. Most land is rented from family and neighbors do we really want their income decreased over large multi national corps. Let alone farmer owned land and net worth?
