Value -- Decrease or Increase

Consider the high possibility that Canada turns into a socialist whackdoo state. That would likely eventually lead to a tax on beef or something. That will kill the ranching sector and you will get your burgers from Australia.

So a farmer with pasture with either abandon it or break it and start growing crops again. Imagine the carbon release from millions of newly broke land. Carbon tax would have to rise again.

The feed sector will be dead so its human consumption crops. That might sound good for a grain farmer but a bunch more landlocked supply here in Canada will make it harder for us. Commodities would be heading down I imagine especially with Russia, China and Argentina ramping up.

Like I said before, we could be the oil patch 5 yrs from now.

Socialism is creeping everywhere even the US. Only guy in the path of the globalists is Trump. If he gets taken out, we are done.

In Europe, the socialist state has put so many regulations on ag that many farmers lent their land for green projects (solar, wind, biomass) collect a check from that and then run a little land for their own sustenance. Europe cant export anything with those kids of costs added on.

Europes only export is BMW and Benz and Volvo cars. WTF else to they produce. Ever see anything made in Britain or France. And they even have massive sea access. How can Canadian landlocked ag survive that model.

Only way is to join the states.

Overall, I think it was the influx of lots of new money that pushed Sask's land prices to where they are now in the last 10 year span. Definitely not demand from people looking for a place to live. I can't see rural populations ever recovering to pre-exodus levels.....other than in the 50 km "halo" around the cities.

A local realtor told me that investors are exiting this asset class because the returns haven't met their expectations. These guys were apparently hoping for $150/ac rents and the land doubling every yr.

So its just aging farmers and BTO in there now. Maybe some land around urban populations might have some longer term value. If I had land 100 miles from any major center that has tripled in price I would be worried.

Rail through ND to the Mississippi, barge to gulf. Second rail to deep port at Churchill.

Really?!?! How niave of me to think it could go on forever.

What approach are real estate agents going to use to sell it now? Back to " they're not making anymore".

Thankfully Canada as a country has more sense. I can see how those of you with a penchant for made up facts and ignorance of affairs outside our borders would be tempted though.

As a grain farmer in Canada you don't realize France grows more wheat than us? About 30% more the last time I checked.
What does Britain produce? quite a lot actually even in agricultural terms - hell, even Scotland has more sheep than Canada and the US combined.
I don't suppose you realize either that tiny little Scotland has more than twice the oil/gas production that Saskatchewan has (expressed in million tonnes of oil equivalent - so don't even play the "we don't get full value for ours card")

Wow, why would anyone want to leave that?

Guess there can't be many of them in Regina then? A great chance to toot your horn and tell us you've got one though! Checking with Real Estate Regina there are only 4 houses listed between $850,000 - $900,000 and another between $900,000 and a $million.
