Crop choices Narrow

[Oliver88]

This is not just hamloc problem , it has been the same everywhere here.
$100 won’t touch an acre here , closing in on a 1/2 mill per 1/4 section now ..... no oil , drier climate than most in NW sask.

500k per quarter in NW Sask.......wow.

Ok chuck let’s bring back the CWB

If Chuck brings back the CWB, watch the price of land drop.

I say let's just let Russia and south America kick the shit out of us....

No comment about the cwb but we can't compete with those two let alone the US and Europe with their farm programs....

Forrage in the late 80s when the banks were leaving ag and money was tight and no one was buying I was picking up every thing I could find. Wish I bought more actually but some days it was hard to figure if my plan was working . So farming is about timing because then came the flood years when every one was making money hand in fist we were scraping buy now with normal precip maybe we’re back because it’s canada with one crop and land isn’t woth half a mill or a 120 a acre rent were not Iowa or red river valley.

In some areas guys were buying land in the 80s for the price of rent now. I started a long time after the 80s but land was still fairly reasonable and I was ready to borrow every cent possible to buy land. Like you say timing is everything.

If timing is everything, maybe it's a good thing nobody that I made loose offers to has allowed me to put my money where my mouth is! Or maybe a bad thing if I couldn't and prices continue to rise. I really do feel things are getting a bit toppy....friends of sellers are reporting the local BTO is beginning to talk the market down.

Overhead resistance 101? Get out the chart.

Well I dont think manitoba land will drop. But Sask might seems like its is sure overpriced in areas due to good rains over the past 5 years. there must be areas that have gone up 10x since 2007

My guess is province wide in 2017 prices were up again

[Horse]

Well I'm not to bright gut even I can see by the chart its a long way from a half mill/1/4 ,so someone is stretching the truth or a few abnormalities exist. But don't lit facts spoil a good story.

[farmaholic]

BGMB....we are up almost 5X since 04 to about 300K+. Cheap according to some opinions.

Horse...those numbers do seem a low compared to here and some other insane prices quoted around here....unless an awful lot of land is trading at a grand/acre and lowering the average.

[farming101]

I believe this includes any type of ranch or farmland for the whole province
