    Mostly though, people are not into works no, they are into holidays, and mixed farming cramps their style too much, even if it could be successful.
    Sheepwheat usually employs satire to convey his typically-substantive message.

    Which is why this post is so confusing.

    Turned blue in the face waiting for the punchline...

          I would stay farming where I farm the cheapest land in Saskatchewan for what you can grow. Yes, we had two BTOs from Toronto and Calgary that couldn't make it and failed and a few really big Money guys that bought and sold. But still, we still are the cheapest place in Saskatchewan to purchase land.

          I find it funny all the places were land has gone insane and our area with no real sellers has sat at a low level.

          Oh well, it's good if you find some to buy and bad if your selling. But great grow great crops on low land value investment.

            Cow calf is a labour of love, a labour intensive lifestyle. Also if you have good grain land you could make way more renting it out than cow calf. Still lots of cow calf ranching in Manitoba around lake Manitoba on very marginal land.

                  See, now I knew Austranada was going to provide something useful eventually. He just tipped us off about the free land in Vologda Russia. My wife is still a Russian citizen, and I'm quite willing to get my naturalized citizenship, now all we need to do is convince this European friend of Pourfarmer's to buy our existing farm, it is dirt cheap compared to anything in Europe, and nearly on the frontier of the west, so it should be an easy sell.

                  The only catch is that most of Vologda province is farther north than any farm land in the Peace region of Alberta, some as far north as NWT, and looks like mostly bush. But at least it is close to St. Petersburg, so it should be an easy sell to convince my wife, it is an amazing city. Never visited the Vologda region, have been West of it and just slightly south of it, perhaps will go look next time we are over there and see what we are missing out on.

                  This is what Wikipedia has to say about Vologda Oblast Agricutlure:
                  The agriculture in the oblast is essentially cattle breeding with milk and meat production, production of eggs, growing of crops, flax, potatoes, and vegetables. In 2008, 73% of all agricultural products were produced by large-scale farms

                  Thanks Austranada.
                  Worth a look I'd say, you only live once. We left Canada behind over a decade ago. Conscious decision to get rid of political correctness, corrupt food industry, stag(nation), ........................
                  Miss playing hockey though but on the other I can play in Perth in one of three year round ice skating rinks where a lot of expats play

                        Where exactly are you Makar? Somewhere in Peace, right? My impression of most areas of the Peace that I have seen are flat perfect black soil, but I probably haven't been far enough off the beaten path. What are the limitation as you get further towards the fringes, is it climate, soil, muskeg?

                            All of the above, things change quarter to quarter and within that, nothing flat perfect or black here, white as snow fire burnt in the last century full of potholes, one dumb fat blonde told my why do i bitch, i have 6 to 8 percent om , , well i dont i can show a soil sample with 1 percent om and i dont think they use fractions, plus the climate wreck, its is so variable here i have two quarters half mile apart with a 10 bushel difference.

                                Everyone dreams of farming new broke land, well on the first farm i bought dad went out on new breaking with a deep tillage cultivator in the spring with shovels and it skidded all the way around first pass, went home and put spikes on, how many understand what i deal with, not the many people who failed near me, never got rich but i am still here.
