SF3 So dont feel to good does it? I bet you wernt a dam bit concerned when you were grabbing all you could and to hell with the little guy well now the worm turns and some one a whole lott bigger is going to put the squese on you.
That said I do agree that forien Govmts shouldnt be allowed to buy up our country but who started this system we are living under.
When the consertives were elected in alta, one of the first things done was to repeal the comunal property laws that turned the Huterites loose well I couldnt compete with them so I was compeled to move to lower quality land that the huterites wouldnt be pusshing the prices up on, and I suspect it is the better land the chinese are after.Just rember it was those with BIG ideas that starved out the small farmer and set up the road for what you are getting, if there was still 1 section farmers it would be a lot harder to put large tracts together, but I am sure you needed 50 quarters to live so l;earen mandarin.

How does the small farmer fit in-between the big
farmers and the big big chinkermans?

JDGreen is your friend the manager of
the one farm north of me!
Yea yea its not about me I have enough
land to live on but its about local
community. This is about huge Foreign
owned farms in Canada, sending food back
home. Subsidy check comes from China. So
how is the Canadian farmer going to
compete. Answer is we are all going to
loose.
As far as bringing in FERT and Chem.
WHERE DOES YOUR ROUNDUP GENERIC COME
FROM. Boat of fert unloaded in Vancouver
, shipped by rail to Saskatchewan then
rail cars loaded with grain shipped to
vancouver then load boat and send to
china. NO CARGIL NO GLENCORE NO CPS NO
DEERE NOTHING! HOW many jobs will be
lost.
This is a huge problem. 400 mill vs the
rest of us, how well are we going to do
going against CHINA!!!!!!!!!!

FCC better not be backing them at these prices.
This government is out of control! The taxpayer
cant foot the bill for all this immigrant crap.

[SASKFARMER3]

Also dig a little deeper into some of
these so called Canadian land companies. I
thinks their share offering is from China
not wealthy Canadians.

The thing that seems least likely about your theory
SF3 is why the Chinese would pay a $2/bu premium.
Doesn't fit they way they normally buy stuff - why
would they need to pay that much extra? If they were
prepared to pay a $2 premium why would they bother
owning the land as you imply they do? They could
save themselves the hassle and buy off the open
market.

SF3 this investment company is new, just barely breaking ground. When I know whats going on I will post more comments.
