15,000 acres? Their site says going to be farming 2.1 Million acres. Got to be more then that somewhere? What is the Cash Rent per acre?

I have followed the One Earth saga with great interest.It's the first time that a big Toronto company has tried farming in the west in recent years. (Correct me if I,m wrong).
I watched the clip with the vice president in charge of One Earth. Now I am one of the 2000 acre farmers littering the Western Canadian landscape so maybe I am a little biased.
But watching that clip did nothing to change my prediction that One Earth will go down in a ball of flames in a few years.
I mentioned this to someone recently who said " Oh yeah they may lose money but they will just keep going back to their Toronto investers for more money". Could be I guess but these investers aren,t that stupid are they?

Cash rent is in the $30-35 per acre.

Heard some investor(s) put in $30 million and Sprott put in another $35 million this year. That should help with operating expenses.

Just as a matter of interest supposedly the two big Seed Hawk drills at the Ritchie Bros Saskatoon auction came from One Earth.

Also that 15 000 acres is just on the reserve. Star Blanket, Okanese, Peepekesis and Little Black Bear probably own another 10 000 off reserve. Not sure how much Muskowegan has on the reserve but they have bought up a lot of land off reserve. Not sure about their numbers.

Blood reserve is probably on of the bigger reserves located in Alberta.

Meant to say one of the bigger reserves.

Heard they had a lot of equipment problems, mostly from operator error/abuse. Young's would not honor the warranty any more.

The reserves I have seen look like crap land . Have Been on Red Pheasant and mosquito (south of Battleford) and if they had a lake it would be good beach property.

Here in southwest sask all the natives were pushed out by the gov't at the time. The Carry the Kettle band originated near Cypress Hills and weren't allowed to locate there So they were made to Walk to the present reserve site east of Regina

Don't Forget We are All treaty People.

Meaning the land we farm came to us because a treaty was drawn up between the gov't and the natives. THIS has not been Paid for Yet.
Some treaty land entitlements have been finished in the last couple of years but only a few.

Maybe we should give it all back to the indians. Let One Earth farm it and wait. Russia has been there and done that experiment with one entity (the government) controlling the farms.

Don't forget Paul Martin and his liberal team is invested in this One Earth farm thing. Eventually when ralphie loses an election he will find a board seat on One Earth.

the bell farm at indian head was 53,000 acres in the 1880's. it lasted about four years.

Tell yous one thing, if'n I lived in Sascratch&win I would have been on EVERY Reserve and know whats goin on in my own backyard. Heck I know everything that goes on in Manitoba where it matters. Guessin gon have to take a few days this summer once the crop is in and take a tour of the Reserves that matter. Thanks fer the little help yous gave. I know lots are holdin back info, WHY??? Beats me, must be jealous. Sees yous in a few short years. Nothin like a few phone calls and a blank cheque to fix Zero Earth Farms..................
