Poor atitude on Agriville

Why is Jim Pattison sinking money into top dollar farmland. He is buying stuff E and So of me in the $3500 or higher range. What does he know that we don't.

Because he knows a 35 cent trudeau dollar is coming

So since I’m yapping from some warm climate it’s a chilly 52 start this morning.

Yes farming has been good and yes growing the crop I love.

But reality my grand father had 4 dad had 12 I’ll end with 36 or more and I don’t think my boys will end with 108 quarters. Unless I have the winning lotto max ticket and then I wouldn’t buy farm land in sask today. He future maybe.

It’s not negative it business and land has been over priced before and dropped and then up since canada was settled. Read study history.

But I can name dealers or Fert Chen suppliers, equipment manufactures that sell out for unbelievable money or just shut down and retire with huge bank accoun5#.

But farmers most retire by selling the farm o their sons.

Most farmers recycle money. No extra buy a home and pension check and a little nest egg.

So yea maybe negative or just pointing out we’re bottom feeders.

OK Wasn't going to show any measure of positiveness....but the current RM of Moose Creek council does deserve just a bit of praise.

Many of you won't believe this; and the base voters may indeed becomes very pissed; but; after only a decade the RM of Moose Creek council decided to pay a decade old debt that still remained remembered by those forced to cough up $2901.93 because of then councilmembers ability to read the "Municipalities Act"

Read the Agriville archives if interested.

And I now believe in kharma and humor as well. Guess who got to sign that RM cheque; and a genuine thanks to the relatively new councillors and the honorable elected official who handed the cheque to the representative of the 140 or so petitioners.

"E. pleubus non carborundum" (as is often said). Its OK to write off bad debts...but never give up collected what is legitimately owed.

But it made many peoples day...albiet as it immediately came to mind the passing of three individuals who never got to collect what was due to them; as well as at least a couple of us who have lost some "mental sharpness" over that time period.

And yes it does build positive attitudes.

Most farmers have lost sight of how very wealthy they are compared to the majority of the population. Most complain while typing responses all winter in some warm sunny tropical country.

Farming is the best life ever.

This needs to be qualified... Those with significant paid for assets are quite wealthy, *on paper*. It goes without saying that those who are without assets, and without any real hope of acquiring assets given the cost of entry these days are in much the same position as the "majority of the population."

Not discounting that there are some farmers that have done quite well for themselves, and there are plenty starting out that have been given a significant head start with the roll over of paid for assets. One must not lose sight of the fact that there are a whole lot of my generation though, who have neither, and are slugging it out in the trenches.
