My farmland

[pourfarmer]

My Farmland explores how Chinese national and Chinese immigrants' investments are affecting traditional Canada’s agricultural sector by following three families: two in tiny Saskatchewan farming communities, the other in the wine-making region of Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont. The film tells a very human story of how communities react to an influx of people from a different culture who hope for a better life by working the land.

Looks like those offshore investors you bitch about are actual farmers trying to sc**** a living out of the dirt same as you and me, how do you feel now?

.....and now for the rest of the story. I would bet there is more Investor yen dumped into shell(investment) farms than poor old Chinese immigrants trying to eke out a farming living off the land in good old Canada.

Pure speculation on my part.

Probably buying from the likes of Pike or Boyd .....

Driving some nice stuff for new farmers. Investor backed likely.

Welcome to Canadian agriculture.

Easier to play farm with Lego than trying to win in canada.

Private ownership of land in China is illegal I thought. Although there is private farms.
Keep in mind also, they plan ahead intergenerationally. So the integrity of the people here not in question.
Question is, who holds the first dollar? And how do we maintain sovereignty over the next century.
When will the people here no longer be loyal to those back home.

Yup, sure. CBC. Sounds trustworthy.

The farmers from China on the big reserve by us are suppose to be turning the land back to canola wheat or barley and quiting the livestock operation in two years.

Most others flipped from one to another with none farming.

Land owners.

[sk_wheatking]

Would be fun to hear bto farmall's take on the chine farmers😂

Edit: whatever happened to him anyway?

Wow. I'm not suggesting you to listen/read to it because CBC is trustworthy.

We should be concerned how rural sask farmers and foreign land owners are going to be portrayed to the average Canadian. Who do you think is going to be the 'bad guy' of this story?

But whatever Burnt, stick your head in the sand because their platform is CBC.
