Some Saskatchewan Humour.

The only province where farmers can pay any amount for their kids education and then when that was done kick them in balls(if have them) hard enough to send them to Alberta or BC. Glad my kids are not in that era.

This article was referenced on this
website before. I like how the grope
and flail think the Chinese are so much
smarter than us dumb hicks on the
prairies right now. The Chinese are
going to unlock the riches off the sand
piles of Southern SK yessiree. I hope
for an interest rate increase so they
are holding the bag. Farming is the
ultimate inflationary play and the so
called farm boom was only due to QE 2
and nothing else. Relearning old
lessons.

Farming ventures can be successful if you pump
enough money into it. They just require lot of
money at the start.

3 years ago Sask farmland was under valued and was an obvious investment. Since money has flowed into Sask not only young people are staying but coming back from Alberta. This is some comments from Brett the dragon on Dragons Den originally from Sask who also invested in Sask farmland. Not sure he is worth a billion but 100s of million for sure. Interview on Regina CTV.

Yeah it looks like Wilson and his venture own a
fair amount of land in Saskatchewan and Alberta:

He also said the old joke he heard in Alberta was What do you call a Saskatchewan person that moves to Alberta...Boss..He went on to say that the valuable young people are now staying in Saskatchewan . Personally I see more young rural kids interested in making a career in Saskatchewan agriculture than has been in 30 years. Money brings people People bring money.

Excerpt from Oliver88's link:

The Enquirica study says that by renting
out farmland to real farmers, "a
Canadian investor in farmland can look
forward to reliable cash-flow on the
order of 6 per cent to 7 per cent,
without operational risk."

"REAL FARMERS"??? Really. No
operational risk, what if one day they
can't find a tenant? What about
investment risk, who's to say land
prices won't correct?
