Basically farms in the south making huge 💵 growing the big “cash” crops, lentils, chicks and to some extent durum. They thought these crops would continue paying phenomenal prices, now they have hit the dumpster. Maybe they have banking up over the years to keep paying these amounts.

Don’t first right of refusal clauses deal with land for sale? This is a rental deal. If you have time left on your lease the ad by the BTO to pay above market won’t affect you.

I have big neighbors who are royally screwing their land owners. Hopefully these high rent ads get some land owners up to speed. I am getting tired of paying high rents while my neighbors with all the shiny new equipment pay 60% of the going rate.

Just to turn this around a bit from a previous post....what does it matter if others are paying less than the going rate....it doesn't affect you....

I am just pointing out what others said.....not sure why it wouldn't work both ways....high or low...

High ...they are laughing at the renter...

Low ....they are laughing at the landlord....

But if any case both are happy ...your point is valid ...it doesn't affect others...

That was my point ...if it came across sarcastic...I do apologize...

It affects all of us when some guys take the write down process.... to FCC, the local coop, etc....

Farma. I said argue with the market.
We can disagree with it.

There is a thin band of land that cuts across the south that can profitably grow any crop that can be grown in this country and has a long enough season with enough moisture (or reserve) to ride out a lot of adverse situations. The rents and land values reflect that.

Our first section of land cost us $125 an acre. Our dad said, “ you’ll never pay for that.” It only took one flax crop at$11.50 a bushel. Those were the days my friend. Might happen again for the young giys- you never can tell. Hope the stars line up.

Now expenses/acre can be double that.

Oh well, $3000/acre isn't much when you say it fast and sounds cheap compared to $480,000/quarter.

Cheap Sask land "WAS" the best kept secret 10-15 years ago, I just wish someone would have let me in on the secret.

As always, it was always too expensive at the time...is it too expensive now?

With farmland here trading at about $15,000/workable acre, it would indeed take a very special alignment of the stars, LOL!

A few times in the distant past it has happened around here when some guys took of a good crop of white or navy beans and paid for a farm in one year. But land was 1000 or less back then.

Not sure what it would take to drive white beans to $500 per hundred weight. Would we want to see the conditions that would make that happen?
