In Canada we are lazy as farmers!!!!!!!

[ASRG]

freewheat: You've got it! I think you are exactly right. Common sense.

[Hopperbin]

The one profs comments in town to a
group of us was simple. Were all lazy we
should be seeding every square inch of
our farm. The Valley should be terraced
and seeded. Drain every single slough.
Have no lawns, Seed right up to bins.
We all listened, then he left.


Is this for real? He certainly believes he is the King of the Castle. Tarrace the Valley? Maybe he should be paying you half million or one million per quarter.

[Hopperbin]

Did anyone get to speak back? I would have called him a mommies baby that still gets everything he cries for.
Sask you and your family can farm and be profitable that land for ever as long as your family wishes to.

[Hopperbin]

I would sell out to him myself. Just squeeze a little more money, could relocate. From the sounds of it his plans don't include working with the neighbours. I think in China they place guards on all the buildings and to watch the machinery. This nieghbourhood is going to all go for shit, that is if you had one. How to give him a dose of reality?

[SASKFARMER3]

Hopper he wanted 6 quarters that touch what he
bought. He don't have enough money.

[Hopperbin]

300 per quarter?

[Hopperbin]

Tuff call, he may have less money a few years from now. Or he may be playing with your head about how much he is willing to pay. I would think if he sorta bid up the neighbour's land to 300 without a competing bidder, did he even have a competing bidder? He could sweeten the deal to get the last bits. Keep the mineral rights if any.

[Hopperbin]

Suppose would not hurt to give him a price. A price it is what it is. Other than that keep farming it. Things may be explosive yet. Remember the tax implications of selling, talk to good accountant first. If the gov't walks away with half kinda reduces the insentive to sell. Don't know your situation, your going to need capital gain exemtion room. Some farmers took care of the excemption early.

[SASKFARMER3]

Reserve to his Right so 8 quarters have us
on either side plus seedgrower the other
side. Their not selling either.
Its called boxed in.

[Hopperbin]

Sask. keep us posted on what kind of employees the Chinese farmer gets in. I may be interested in steeling his top man.

[hobbyfrmr]

I have a hunch that SF1 and SF2 will outvote SF3
and bow to Chinese buyers for double todays
price in that area. Who can resist all that cash?
Everybody will be set for life. Permanent
vacations.

If he overpays for the 10 sections does
that make the previous 50 sections worth
the higher value for FCC? Buy out the
competition and make your net worth look
better at the same time.
