Flipping thru the Classifieds

We r so land locked for freight to the most important parts of the world with the population if the countries closer to the people can grow all crops look out. Also we have our levies for breeding of the crops and then our product gets shipped overseas and don't tell me they don't use our genetics in their soil. They get the best for both worlds then no levies and all the research.
Few poor crops and crappy prices doesn't take long to eat up a surplus of money from previous years. Lots of the wealth generated is only on paper because land prices have exploded if the prices drop where is the wealth.

Wait a year or two. Half of sask will be for sale and it'll be a race to the bottom in prices.

That is honestly one of the most retarded predictions I have ever heard. Most farmers are in the business for the long haul and wont get taken out by a few poor years lots of farms been going for over 100 years and they will soak up any land that comes up from the fair weather types quick.

also seeing lots of packages of 10-20 quarters split up and sold to 3 or 4 farms now.

China and India view Canada as hostile investment territory and unreliable for exports.


FSU, south America, Australia are benefiting
Some of us see the big picture from the outside.



Maintain currency in foreign reserves.


This may take down a heck of a lot more than just ag.


Saying it can't happen? Look at the oil and gas industry. Down to 1/4 of where it was in 2014.

Few words for you.

The 80s.


You realize in our area land was rented for taxes...


No farmer can survive without selling product.

So when banks stop lending and call loans, buyers don't buy (aka peas/ lentils) and expenses don't drop... Um ya.


My family survived 3 military dictatorships, the Weimar republic, two world wars, and 3 bouts of hyperinflation.


Do you really think HCI or Andjelic will hold onto land once the price starts to drop? If they sell out that's over half a million acres.

You're a perfect example of somebody living in a micro bubble... There's lots of forces at work far bigger than Manitoba or sask or Canada.

Rents are getting retarded....back to the days of giving up the cash equivalent of 25-30% of gross receipts....

Land prices that don't pencil....ya I know....put down the pencil!

Economics might rule the day again soon.

Edit: ....and if it requires subsidizing in any way, how good of an investment is it? Only primary Producers seem to be able to justify the notion of having to subsidize it to be able own it.

Klause, Canada is not Argentina we are a stable country with lost of well eatablished business and infrastructure.

Hgi and other investors arent going to sell it all in one day. They will be smart about it. Yes land prices will correct in some areas but to say half of sask will be on the market is way out in left field. There are lots of farms that dont even need bankers and they have the cash to soak up avialable land. Dont worry the chem seed and grain cos will keep enough profit in farming to keep most of us going

We have no infrastructure... Where the heck are you living?


A very different Canada than me.



We fall a few spots every year in export positions.


Kazakhstan has taken most of our lentil market.

Russia will take our wheat market.

But carry on.
