You have to hand it to Monnette’s pulling off the mega farm this long in this part of the world. Remember the one brother when he was still at case on combine to customer thing in Winnipeg. Likeable kind of guy but never would’ve thought he’d go all in like that. I’ve come to the conclusion and seen it around my area with oil guys too that it takes a special kind of person to take on these big risks and maintain them when they come to fruition. Props to Monnettes for figuring out how to keep it going.

The majority of Monettes holding are in Swift Current and Montana. What happened there last yr., or even the last 4 yrs. If you look hard, you can find vids of these guys taking off 10 bu durum crops with millions of dollars of iron.
But they seeded lentils next to me...fed a lot of pigs after it got 4 inches of rain and they still hadnt moved into the RM yet.
If these guys got a standstill audit you would be shocked.
These guys are nuts with these lease roll overs.Last edited by jazz; Aug 19, 2022, 12:01.

Its just an ownership gambit. Western land are the last asset out there. Look at Bill gates. They just want to own it, they could care less if it ever pays for itself. Use fake fiat to buy real things.
We should be taking note. Next time rates are in the 2% range should be loading the coffers.
And holding land inside a corp is a new twist. Much easier to pay higher interest rates.Last edited by jazz; Aug 19, 2022, 12:56.
