Deja vu 2007

Toilet paper alert.

Just to be clear grassy, we happen to be witnessing the sunset glow of the Harper government effect while the US is staggering under the Obama deficit years.

Guess what we will be looking at once the sock puppet is booted out - holes in our socks.

Thanks for the toilet paper alert - it certainly was a pile of $#%@ from you as a response. Laughable really.

Wait for some of us to retire!

No one knows where or when the peak will be. Like the guys getting out of dairy around here....there were lots of small dairies in the area , in today's standards, and selling quota too early made you look foolish compared to some guys who hung on longer and got alot more money. Same thing with farm dirt.... $60-80K compared to $240-320K, who knew. Other than the fact Sask needed to catch up. But now the economics of buying it and paying for it farming it are pretty tough....need some big cash down and a subsidizing base to help pay for it in a reasonable time frame to keep total acquisition costs reasonable.

Just think of all the new capital that got injected into Sask by outside buyers being able to buy land from generational farming "Sask" residences. ( but not saying it all stayed in Sask).

Does the "bar" ever get permanently lowered? Or just reset for a short time only to get raised again....and higher!

Just wait til the local Regina economy feels the effcts when the mega-projects are complete. ..Stadium is already done....by-pass in a year or two....then what are they going to use to force, I mean "stimulate", the economy. Oh...and a poor crop in the southern half of Sask to rub salt in the wound.

Government employee cities could care less about ag. Ag Production abundance or shortfalls They might miss a few sales of 3/4 ton diesel trucks, thats about it.
