Acres Might Not have a Renter! or be SEEDED!

[SASKFARMER3]

Funny chinese slowing purchases but South African farmers still trying! They are farmers relocating! Not land buyers!

[SASKFARMER3]

Chinese don't like it when their renters stuff them a year or two! You guys picked the renter! Deal with it!
I think it will sit idle or they will go with the original guy and his promise to pay!

[tstep]

Have no problem with people from South America or where ever buying land and farming it themselves. Good on them. It's these ****ing people that are buying and wanting renters and asking the big dollars so they can make their 5% or thereabouts return. Tell these assholes what you are going to give them or it sits idle.

tstep

smart operators and money makes money .
in this part of western Canada ,we had some nice returns last years ! hope and paid of some debts.
I see on your expression not happy about the outlook ts

[SASKFARMER3]

Agree the south Africans become part of rural life the others spend most of their time back in China!
Outside voice!

Sask3 your outside voice is correct.

Guy's I can see negotiating your rent it's doing business but I highly doubt that farmers like tstep are telling their land lords " here's what I'm going to pay you ,either like it or **** off!" That might work on an anonymous farm forum like this but in reality you would be done doing business with that person forever. Unlikely and unprofessional. If you don't want to pay what the landlord wants then move on why such hard feelings. Do you go to a car dealership and tell them here's what I'm going to pay or **** off? I doubt it. If you can't negotiate a rent that works for your farm then I guess you move on to something elsewhere.

Lol!! That's what we should be telling the car lots too! Lol

[SASKFARMER3]

It's happen sk lots don't say f$&k off or take it. They dance around the price from 65 down to 35 to 45 and if can't hit the price they say bye and walk.
Now if someone that picked another farm because they were the BTO on the block and now are left holding the bag and can't find a renter. If these guys show up its this or nothing. After a few screw ups they come around.

Obviously a different world in SK.
When you talk about productive value are you talking of the ability of an acre to stand alone and pay all of its expenses and payments?
If so then forum farming would be fun because anyone could buy in.
