I would like to see what payment per acre producers would get if half of federal and provincial payments were divided out per ace an paid every year, give producers a base amount and not have producers do things for insurance that agronomically don't make sense. Back stopping land concentration seems counter productive to me. Access to insurance for a fixed number of years to let producers get established and then eliminate or cap coverage would be my suggestion. Government needs to reduce costs at all levels.

It is a Chinese owned farm and they ran the farm first cattle
With idea shipping back to china. Then cattle and grain. I don’t think money a problem

So how did the Chinese get around the farmland ownership rules?

Sask auditor says farmland ownership rules have no teeth.

Most likely the chinese have status in canada. For example you can get canadian citizenship by investing $800K in *****bec government bonds. Voila: dual citizen and now eligible to own farmland and other real estate in all provinces. Great for laundering money. Yes, canuckistan is that much of a shithole.

When land was $900 here and $100 in SK, people here bought all they could afford out there the minute non resident restrictions were lifted.
Respectfully, I've often wondered what SK would look like if it hadn't been in a huge multi-faceted bubble for so long?
I've seen some changes in 45 years and I compare to similar regions both here and across the line.
Here, our Lost Generation stayed in the province. And I'm not aware of any direct Chinese involvement in ag land. (Or Monette's) Oil plays another story.
