I think this big input ag model has peaked. Still big land holders but the appetite to grow more for less is starting to wane. The cost of canola seed, fertilizer and seed taxes are waking people up. I see a lot more talk about partial organic or near organic as they call it, cover crops, tillage, intercropping etc.

When Krause posts those ag developments in other places I know we wont compete with those places doing what we do now.

I think Intercropping is at the stage that Zero till farming was at 35 years ago.
It is a movement that Will happen
If it was Good for Fert Companies and Chem Companies THEY would be PROMOTING it like crazy

Oh by the way Saskfarmer, Octavia Cortez is Right , and the Republicans are Dinosaurs

If I was still in the banking/refinancing side i Would be questioning Financials right now! 700000 tractors and combines don’t make sense.

Land is always a asset.

But I remember a old neighbour in Regina you want the smaller house in Wascana view that’s paid for beside the mega house. You will Always find a guy who can afford yours if you want to sell for a great price.

Similar with land if a young fun pays 525000 and you own the quarter beside yours should sell for the same or your worth that.

Equipment is like my 90 year old father always called it scrap iron. He drove new Deere his entire farming carrier.

I have my doubts about intercropping. It sounds great in practice but the key issue is it shortens rotations up here where there's not much selection in growable crops. It would be detrimental to clubroot control particularly.

Had a price quote for a versatile quad for $425k
Loaded with pto last spring. Cash no trade. That’s along ways from $700k for a Deere.
