Is Monette Farms like Bernie Madoff?

Consolidation is not new.
Neither are various price points unfortunately.

Did anyone read this article on international money from Western Producer

That article is a little bit different than this article title from the producer from 2015…

not sure how to link it. You will just have to google the title. Or someone can provide the link.

Foreign ownership of Sask. farmland increasing ‘rapidly’

[ajl]

Canuckistan is full of 'dual citizens' so the money can be coming from 'canadians'. However, we have not had an extended period of deflation like the 1980's to see how committed this investment is. Most don't expect the current round of deflation to last very long as the gubmint is broke. However, if it goes a bit longer there will be some involuntary restructuring going on soon. A business can only lose money for so long but there is a fair bit of equity that can be burned through this time.

Weird $1M donation from Monette. Seems like a lot of strings attached, but also like trying to improve image. Does anyone have any updates on them?

Do they or the chinese or maybe they are the chinese own land in the irrigation zone in saskatchewan? Are there monettes working in the sask gov? Why did the sask gov stop allowing us to see who is buying sask land? Are the chinese investors the same ones that were selling irrigation equipment to Sask? Any connection to the Global trans hub people?

Monnettes now own 5000 plus acres of irrigation/irrigatable land around Outlook and Swanson and the Spring Creek Market operation.
And I believe they just this fall took over renting most of the Andjelic land around there as well???

Dwain Lingenfelter seems to be one of Monette's endorsers?
He appears to have accumulated some farmland over the recent years.
I wondered how Monette got way up here at the end of the road.
Appears Dwain did a land assembly near Paddockwood.
Have to say I was a little surprised to see how invested Dwain is in farmland.

Isn’t Longenfelter a big NDP’er? How can he be a land baron?

No nobody said only conservatives bad but they are the ones spending a billion dollars on a project only helping a few people, why would that be? Also that billion could make crop insurance and agristability actually an effective program but that would mean it would help farmers in areas hit by multiple disasters and then the monettes etc wouldnt be as easily to take over mass tracts of land as since crop insurance is not only a failure but an enhancer to the take over of land by large sometimes foreign owned companies which are killing our smaller communities and becoming a national threat. China India Russia owning massive amounts of farm land are you ok with that? And since we ve seen how these particular countries operate paying off people threatenning people installing their agents in govs I think its about time we ask why this is all happenning

[furrowtickler]

Don’t disagree at all

What with the interest of you not from western Canada?

[fcr]

It makes me laugh when people complain that some evil foreigner is buying farmland.Simple just dont sell to them and sell to your neighbour instead.Oh but money talks.Guess we are lucky i dont know of any Chinese or Russian that own land anywhere close to us.Our biggest competition for land is from Alberta,both farmers and investers,but its up to the seller who they chose to sell to.There are alot of young farmers here and our small towns are doing quite well,houses sell quick and many are moving from cities to retire were its safer and afforable.We have two new daycares being built within 20 miles and both have long waitlists so the future looks good.
