land auction today

The two farmers who bid up that land near Rycroft and bought it at the price they did was because of the success they have had growing crops.

It would have still sold strong to other local producers had it not gone for what it did.

Both farms have financed growth through excellent production.

Yes the land in the area is variable, and most certainly some is worth considerably more than others.

But I like the narrative you are pitching will help keep the speculators out of our area.

Mind you has not seemed to stop colony expansion.

The old french here are the most aggressive people you will find, the ones left are sf3 clones, good dirt old dirt and not looking back. My dad worked with one in the 50s and he said if not for the catholic nuns he would have left high school not knowing a word of english, can you imagine a half hour drive and you cant ask for directions.

The french came early and got the best of the best, the first land farmed here was treeless, where i am at the homesteaders came not to farm but log, then the fires came, i have a farm now my dad in 43 walked in ashes half way up rubber boots, topsoil all burnt. We are talking a 20 mile circle.

|I know the seller and renters, no not the best land in the peace, it was cow ground for years,of course the best sold first, the best land in the peace is around the old mission, dirt like the ukraine, my land starts 2 miles from the terminals and it isnt great, people dont realize how fast the dirt will change here. Some of mine changes of blue gumbo to peatmoss in feet.

Interesting! Always wondered what the ground was like at Peace River. There were a bunch of French farmers who headed up there from our area in the 60’s, haven’t heard from them since. Either they flourished or perished.

Anyone planning to go broke fast buy land by me and listen to agronimists instead of the guy across the fence.
