Is Monette Farms like Bernie Madoff?

[WiltonRanch]

Yeah that’s an investment.

That price seems high for that. No way they can make money at that price.

U need to separate the price of land from the idea of that piece alone making money raising crops.
Has never been a standalone equation.

In between Calgary and Airdrie that's not a farming play.

[SASKFARMER]

Look to Manitoba for another farm bought.

[furrowtickler]

The price they paid for land here was very high that no normal farm could ever make it work , but they keep buying and expanding.
just seems limitless

A couple years ago someone posted a screen shot of a title from some of the Monette Farms land south of Swift Current.

Be interesting to see a title search of some of their more recent acquisitions.

There's a quarter very close to me that sold to a dairy Farmer from BC a few years ago. They're putting up hay here in Western Alberta to truck home. Most of the quarter is muskeg. Not sure if they knew what a muskeg is.

[Taiga]

Armstrong/Enderby where this is isn’t near that high, but Fraser Valley is insane for sure.
