They also picked up a small lot near Swift Current that was Primrose. Just things we notice in our travels. No opinion as to whether it makes sense or not. My guess is the guys selling to them made out very well.

My cousin who I’d consider successful says do one thing and do it well. Probably more applies to an owner operator situation but seems once you stick your irons in fires you don’t have full understanding or time to get to better know and manage you don’t do as well. Even a mixed farm you’re not going to do a great job of both. There’s always something neglected. I admire the Monette brothers for being able to operate the going concern as good as they are.

There is absolutely no way these boys could actually know what’s going on without several hundred on lookers. Lots of ears and eyes are on the look out there. Chem reps would be on speed dial 24-7 along with an array of other highly educated people.
Couldn’t imagine ….. wouldn’t want to!!
If that’s what it takes to survive they can come visit me anytime.
