How Will Corona affect Farmers

If China invokes force majeure on the US trade deal, they will still need to source the products elsewhere, and in the meanwhile, the CAD continues to slide vs the USD, it may make our ag exports more competitive into China, and buy back some market share for Canadian products.

Pigs and people still need to eat, so far there doesn't seem to be any realistic scenario whereby the death rate is significant enough to make any dent in demand.

Even if 20000 people die from the coronavirus ...that is less the what die yearly from the regular flu...

Not seeing what the panic is...

Media, Media Media. Good reason to drive Financial Markets down so the big boys and ride it up again. Exactly the same thing happen with Sars, H1N1, Zika virus, and Ebola.

Look at the charts and see the dips.!

In fact CBC interviewed a scientist from Montreal, Michel Chretien, who stated that they have developed a pill the has tested positive in curing Sars, Zeka, and H1N. The Swiss has mass produced the pill and the Chinese have been in contact with the lab in Montreal. The Chinese are starting today giving patience with the Covid 19 to see if it works.

Will you guys be able to handle it if the drug does work and it came from CANADA?

How many of those folks want to own a piece of the countryside, and does that have any effect on land prices in the middle of nowhere?

AF have you talked to a lot of city people? They actually love being crammed in to those places and being taxed and controlled. There is a large segment of the population that is basically terrified all the time and welcome any sort of state oversight. That's how we get people like Trudeau in power.

Maybe the Chinese lady in Vancouver will decide she doesn't want to go back home , then the Chinese will quit tearing a strip off Canada and start buying Canola directly off us.

Should put her on the next plane to China. Along with all the foreign protesters.

She's probably thinking house arrest in Canada isn't so bad now. ...
