Most of the harvesting is done in the
Spring, cousin theys often gets snowed
under!

Burbert, Maybe they will get done sooner cause of all the auction sale machinery getting hauled up there.

I was surprised when I looked at a heat unit map
of Alberta and this area. Some broad acres crops
are more suitable here than much further south.
A trip up there this winter with the kids for hockey
confirmed lots of new development. Was
interesting to see freshly broken land and we are
not talking about the odd bush line. Day length
advantage has served this area well and all the
best to these enterprising farmers braking new
land on this scale.

Thanks North Farmer I thought I would toss a little bullshit in with Burbert's message. I have respect for yu guys up there. Litterally up there.

Opps I fergot, wit globel warmin, Northern

The trick wit that northland is ta, getter
lookin real, then sell it ta some rich
Uropeean, who wants ta live in Comedia,
butt can't unless hes got lottsa money ta
invest. North BC Peace river boys/girls
are doin that sorta thing all the time.
Hell they'll even sell ta unsuspectin
Merkican ifn they get a change, bin goin
on fer years......

As I re-read this topic, and just so we are clear, pure bush land at Keg River Alta was/is selling for $160,000.00 for 1 quarter plus development.. I find this hard to believe. Big money must come easy for northern alta. people.. FYI There is lot's of land available that is ready to farm in n.e.Sask. Which I would consider, (if there is such a thing) in a more sure crop area for the same monies or less.. and in case you doubt this check with any realator office in north east Sask and find for you self!!!!

Keg River is 3/4 hour south west of here. Ya you
could likely buy open land in Keg for 160k. Some
open 3 miles from town land sold for 395k x 3
quarters today.
