3 ways to calculate fair rental rates

[SASKFARMER3]

Just to play devils advocate! Three years drought what would the land lord say in spring of year 4. Oh wait your not renting at $100 no more your long gone now what's the next guy going to pay! It's easy if you ha rain and can grow lentils but throw in some shit show years and all the big talk goes away!

So what are you saying sask3, farming maybe isn't so good for guys whether it's sask or Manitoba when you have multiple crop losses? Why is that? Maybe inputs too high,
Crap insurance no good no agristability to speak of?

Government of sask I would say broke the land rental agreements. They raised the rent by 30% when it's supposed to be by grain prices.
Have grain prices risen 30%?
Thanks freeride gotta pay the bills some how hey?

well what I saw around here on land bank land, they needed to raise rates . not fair to compete against farmers being subsidized by govt on land bank land , and then they pay 30% more rent to neighbors . what were you renting from them ?

This isn't a problem for me because I'm too ****ing lazy to farm anymore than I own.

Actually I think the government wanted to sell the land to the farmers so they say the rent is going up for the next 2 years if you do not buy.was thinking on buying the pasture to simplify things but for what they wanted forget it.Did not sound like there would even be any discount for fencing it and putting in dugouts.

Sask3. The last time things went down here was when we had 2digit interest rates. Only answer to your question is: supply and demand. We dont get crazy yields but its a stable, predictable area with a lot of old money. A 3 year drought may lower demand somewhat but actual rents a fraction.
If rents change to % ? Stable.
My guess is with large acre capability and relatively moderate farm size in Camrose Killam area; the only driver for low remts would be sustained, ultra low commodity prices.

Freeride s rates are higher than private land so he can F off.
A contract is a contract rates are supposed to be tied to price of grain of which don't you think that would be a good idea even for private deals? But the real story is oil cos and their sponsored farmers want to purchase the land to do what they want eventually strip mine etc. That's what this is really about. Yep really looking after farmer interest. Fakers are worse than the ndp ever were and they were horrible.

A lot of crown land was sold to farmers/ranchers from 2009 through 2013.
There was a discount of that started at 10% than decreased 2% per year.

Now it appears instead of offering discounts for purchasing, they are increasing crown land rent prices to make people consider purchasing the land.
