Cbc video on farm transfer

Well if the government would stop printing money, land would not have speculative value in its price tag...

It's not a new phenomenon - A neighbour of ours bought a farm in the early 1960s and everybody was shaking their heads saying 50,000 was crazy money to pay for it and he'd never get it back. Would make at least 2.5 million now. Land always has a speculative value.

Its the time short time frame of the last Saskland run up that is alarming.

Although we were lagging.

Ya, I think you guys are dealing in ifs.

I know of several in progress actually. We are involved in it ourselves in a small way. Here is the article some were alluding to a while back on our story. Not to boast but to get more people thinking about a succession model I think is critical if we are to keep family farms alive on the prairie when the current generation need to transition out.

Thanks for posting the article, and kudos to you for making it happen.

This is exactly the scenario I was referring to in the other post. Allowing an opportunity to people who might think completely outside of the box, and who bring a totally different perspective, who otherwise wouldn't get the chance to potentially change the entire business model.

All the whining on here that you need countless thousands of acres to be viable, even after inheriting it, yet these folks apparently are making a living off of a small fraction of that. I would be all in favor of you getting a tax break for doing so, and them likewise.

And I'd never heard of Luing cattle before, what are their advantages?

Compared to Angus - better cold adaption, beef quality and grazing efficiency (their willingness to utilize a wider variety of forages).

Really interesting , grass , good for you
I have thought about this same thing myself many times
if it all works out in the end , its so much better than seeing your lifes work go down the road at an auction
just having someone appreciate what you have accomplished is enough sometimes
money is not the be all , end all for everyone

Farming is how we make our living but the value of that is only partly measured in dollar returns. Another important part is our inherited generational knowledge of agriculture and our stewardship of the land. We often don’t get the recognition we deserve for that from wider society but I think it’s important we maintain the continuity for future generations.

Love warm and fuzzy too, we all know folk who would love to farm but do not have land. Indeed they would treasure the https://downloadnox.onl/ Nox https://vidmate.vet/ Vidmate https://vlc.onl/ VLC gift beyond measure. Salutes to those who chose this route and to the families who support the legacy of those who chose to give this gift. My bet its complicated, always is when it comes to inheritance.

It will take several generations then to pay for it and start making profits off of it.

With conventional agriculture and conventional thinking perhaps. There are other ways to do it.

I could be mistaken but I think the show mentioned he was an electrician with a job...

Good chance for the next few years he gets all his job's income tax refunded and he can put that into the farm...

Good on the old guy for helping the young guy....good for community , and the industry....


How do some ads go......some things are priceless....this happens to be one of them...

I have watched many guys have it paid forward to them only to become pretty selfish greedy pricks....dont see that in this young guy ...

I do question the young guys thinking of wanting to farm until he's the old guys age when he would be retired from being an electrician a lot earlier....
