    ian, i know this farm you are looking at, only ten miles from my farm. Yes it is a nice set up, with a very good house. But way over priced, be carefull!!! The asking price for this land is too high, you will never get any rate of return, even if you don't borrow the money. There is a reason it has been for sale for quite some time, it is simply over priced for what it is worth. Ian, offer them 30% less at best, and you should still have no other bidders. Do not forget, we have had 3 years of drought, nobody else has money here, except first nations, and they will not pay anything for farm yards, espesially a good one like this. I would love to see anyone except first nations purchase this land, someone like you Ian, that can contribute things like tax's back into the community.
    As for the Battlefords, we have everthing you need right here, plus all outdoor the activities and scenery to go with it.
    Remember, re-max in this area always asks 30% to 40% over market values, and look at the numbers they don't lie, 35-40 bus/ac hrsw, 25-30 bus/ac canola, 50-60bus/ac barley, 20-30 bus/ac peas. These are average, and the last three years yeilds have been -50%. Although this is typically a good area, just be carefull, and good luck!

      I really like the N Battleford area.From what I have seen of Sask it would be one of my top places to go if I ever decided to move.Can't wait to go through there again next week.

        Thanks dnach
        Canada is off the agenda for now till children finish their education at least.
        Cowman is right about amenitities once you have had them it is hard to give them up so I would want to live near a city.
        Also I now look at my pescky neighbours a little differently after seeing Canada.
        I saw where ag was the only industry the towns where reducing looking tired Battleford for instance. If you have had three years drought bet things are worse today.
        If everybody depends on agriculture for a living then roads health and education are bound to follow ag.
        Sask seems to be too much dependant on ag for me.
        I now see that these neighbours and hobby farmers are customers or a potential sourse of income which is not governed by commodity prices and the weather.

        I look for ways I can help my neighbours and hope some of their cash gets in my pocket.

        Cowman Average yeilds. Perfect weather Next years crop all looking good. Best ever I would say but a long way to go yet. Prices about double a year ago and getting to where life becomes pleasant!!

        I never was unhappy but life does seem pretty good at the moment!!
