Why land is worth much more some places

Maybe we’ll move?

JDGreen is taking applications for a Trailer Park Supervisor(Cop).

So, if that money can't buy me land in a sure crop area, what will it cost, and where is it?
Just east of me, where land is five to 6000 an acre, Is also the hail capital of western Canada , And too wet as often as not.
Red river valley Has overland flooding issues and excess rain issues
Irrigation land in southern Alberta Might not have very many crop failures But seems like a lot more work and money invested to grow comparable yields to what we get with what falls from the sky.

But, is it really that challenging? Seed when the calendar saysto, then pray for rain, then harvest whatever the quantity of rain provided for.

Here, stress if the snow will melt before May, then stress if the ground will dry up enough to be passable at all, seed into cold wet soil, regardless what the calendar says, probably in the rain and or snow, stress about how many times to get stuck today, risk a late season frost, pray it doesn't all drown out, watch every storm cloud for hail(always get at least one hail storm), stress about finding a window for spraying between rains, and about the ruts made, stress about the wildlife eating, destroying the crop, stress about neigbors, or your own cows breaking into and trampling crops, stress about the life size weeds (trees) destroying the crop 50 feet in every direction, stress about the early fall frost, then about the snowed under crops, then about picking up flat crops, then about drying wet crops, if they will go through the combine at all, stress about getting combines stuck. Stress about all the compaction from all the operations in the mud.

The ghetto is looking better all the time.

What about the sheep?

Oh look it’s raining in the garden area. Ah I can almost smell spring flowers.

We need a heck of a lot more than this. We need about 2 weeks steady, dug outs dry, can’t let kids drive ski-doos in fields case they fall down a crack.
