Do the recent announcements about the carbon tax and rumours of a wealth tax give you pause to just not putting your sons through this shit for 30 or more years of farming?
Why not call it a day and insure your kids have a nice home , a good job and enjoy life...Last edited by bucket; Dec 21, 2020, 08:12.

If I get what I want, we are gone as a family. We will, Golf in Hawaii every day and enjoy growing a few pineapples and feeding the odd cow or horse. Watch the volcano erupt every once in a while. Surf or body surf and snorkel. Island life. I would even sell the home in Florida. Ok maybe not always need a trip to visit and see the big mouse or Universal etc.
This is insane what's about to happen in Canada.

But bucket, I have a few neighbors who have gone ALL in in the past 5 yrs. Going from a land base couple thousand acres to 10-12k, mostly purchased at $3500 an acre.
The head winds coming at our ag industry will be shocking to say the least. A carbon tax for the FF we burn, another for the NO2 we emit and then some sort of wealth tax, probably capital gains or something.
The end of the industry.
I have girls, they wont be farming but we need our equity out for them before everything is plundered.

I have those people in the neighborhood....wouldn't really qualify them as neighbours....
If land prices drop 20 percent they are underwater ...lucky for most of them their dads know the game ....they are considered good businessmen if they get the write down and keep the land they purchased at a high...
Million dollar bin yards and shops on the home quarter ...they will be just fine....
But unlucky for an average guy that has some debt but lots of equity .....the lender like FCC will force them out because they are easy targets...

I am ready to quit - they are not all that ready to step into it.
We have a small farm that would be a manageable load for them to take on in addition to their existing businesses in the trades and construction - but no one wants to step up.
And it's not because they wouldn't like to. It's what they grew up doing and each one of them loves it.
And i cannot blame them - in their relatively few, short years, they have witnessed the erosion of property rights and the effect of excessive regulations set by idiots who have never had to get dirt under their nails. And that whole shj!tp!le of useless rules and regulations is only going to grow exponentially when the CFS kicks in over the next few years.
What does it say about a country that is chasing experienced, well-qualified help and interests out of an industry so essential that without it we would face starvation?
Canada is done. All thanks to enviro-fascist Marxists who were born with a silver spoon in their mouth.
Oh Canada, our home and native land where it's illegal to take a skate in the local rink.

Its not Harper's policies that are phucking up the country....
Justine's giving money away to people that don't benefit society and then thinking he is going to get it back is just stupid...
How do get back the money spent on needles and tattoos??????Last edited by bucket; Dec 21, 2020, 08:28.

Bucket there won't be a write down this time I can guarantee that.
It will be a transfer of assets to the Banks FCC etc. and then Trudeau and the liberals will do land claims with the said lands back to any one he feels was hurt.
The stupid farmer can then rent it back at market value for life.
So is that farmer a winner or a serf.

In Europe the progressive brigade has been at them for 50 yrs. Eventually many farmers just gave in. They didnt sell their lands, just let some corporate farm rent it. The little guys took a bunch of subsidies for wind farms and solar and biomass and then just sit in their yards producing what they need and send the kids all off to the big cities.
Someone on twitter tallied all the money Trudeau has given to foreign countries. The total was 65B in 5 yrs. Let that sink in for a moment. Apparently abortions in Africa are more important than ag in canada.Last edited by jazz; Dec 21, 2020, 08:42.
