The Topsoil Crisis: Dirt Isn't Cheap Anymore

I am a wheat and lentil farmer based in Saskatchewan. Prices here are (you'll be happy to learn) is still undervalued. There are thousands of old codgers who are going to have to sell out soon or their estates will. Plus there is a restriction on how much land a foreigner can purchase without being a resident.

If anyone wants to deal with a legitimate farmer in a joint venture, based on fertile land with low political risk, let me know.

I got burned bad twice in a row playing the silver futures. So now I am just into gold bullion and Silver Standard Resources stock... oh and Saskatchewan farm land.

The problem with the US Federal government (even if it does not become the biggest national socialist gov) us that it is the most efficient at killing people. I am going to stay far away thanks. I like it where the thugs can be bribed with a couple of bucks or a porno mag as opposed to a IRS audit or a raid by ICE or the ATF.
