Grain Elevator value?

Partners, are they breaking any rules loading cars? Also is the line a real active line?

Bucket, that's the "dog in the manger attitude", I don't want it but you can't have it either!

Question. In our area they were all torn down. Even one that was 10 years old. People tryed to buy it and they couldnt. Just wasnt alowed. All kinds of reasons. How many of these out there? One north of here 50 miles. Farmer doesnt use any more anyway.

BP, There is a privately owned one in every town(4) in this RM(only 12 townships). But they aren't all over that's for sure.

The only reason they sold this elevator was that the track was taken out. It took quite a while to convince them to leave the elevator standing. I had made a deal with the village before hand on taxes. and it sits on village owned property. I also have a grain dryer on the site

BTO building a new farm yard from scratch, along Hwy #33. Somewhere between Lajord and Tyvan(I don't remember exactly) on east side of highway. Been going on for the last 8 months or so. First a huge shed, then another, more recently a row of hopper bins, and between the hopper bins and the railroad are a row of huge flatbottoms. Now looks like more sheds are being built to the east side of the site.

But last time I was by, Stewart Southern Railroad(short line running from Regina to Stoughton along Hwy #33) is building a spur track along those big flatbottoms. Will be an incredible setup, once in operation. #cut out the middleman

Can anybody from the area post more about this?

Saskatchewan way, Bucket. Railways allowed to do whatever they want. Close sidings, branch lines, whatever they want. Same as ducks unlimited, in Saskatchewan they get to put easements for ever. In Alberta, they can register it for 10 years. Don't know whose behalf our agministers have been working on, but on these 2 files, don't think it was farmers.

farma, sumdumguy, SF3, other near Regina,, do you know anything about that start-up along Hwy #33 ?

Google Kambeitz Farms. This is what we have to compete with to buy land. Tough on the young guys and gals in the area that want to own the land they farm.... Most don't have a sniff at these current prices. Sad to see.

Everyone has the opportunity.... some just exercise theirs!

I have a saying.... I won't begrudge your success but I sure won't mourn your failure either.

Buy er and start a grain co then you can screw yourself !

Hire some one effed in the head to weigh, grade, and do the books !

$ buy low sell high !

giggled...

You're ****in nuts!

Maybe worthless to the GrainCos but not some Producers.

Honestly, this one wouldn't be my first choice.

We have a bunch of hoppers with aeration and some old flat bottoms.
How may old elevators do you own "way out there" wiseguy?

What ever happened to the Cargill terminal at Raymore?


Edit....this post is an attempt to reply to wiseguy's post....but some of his posts are written in disappearing text and magically disappear if they aren't captured using the reply button!
