Woolybear: The land around here is too expensive to ever pay for itself from any "traditional" farm enterprize. You either inherit it or marry it! A factory farm might work but that is becoming almost impossible because of rural urbanization. We do have a good number of European farmers buying because they are flush with money and dance to a different set of drums sort of thing.
We are not completely happy with this oil and gas developement because it limits our options to develop this land somewhere down the road, but in the short term it is profitable.
Who could tell 100 years ago that we were sitting on a virtual goldmine? Luck of the draw.
Every Canadian benifits from the oil and gas wealth coming out of Alberta. Without it this country would be bankrupt and we certainly wouldn't have all the social programs available today or the high standard of living? Simply a fact of life.
