I was in high school, so I wasn't in the market...I know there were distress auctions back in the 70's early 80's with high interest rates. I bought my first land in early 90's and heard stories at the time how cheap it was 10 years earlier. He found a bargain.

I agree. Location matters a lot. I guess we don’t know for sure what he paid. But I think supply management has impacted land prices. I see a difference between regions based on whether are supply managed producers in the region.

Yes, it looks like prices were similar in 1979 when he first started but Ontario land prices have since risen much faster. I think supply management is probably a factor driving land values. What’s your theory?

Interesting article. It's a story about a family run dairy farm on the NY side of the St Lawrence river. They went from zero cows in 1979 to 7000 head in 2025. Interesting to read their views about scale and efficiency. This doesn't happen in Canada.

Alternative headline…”100% tariff on well built moderately priced imported EVs allows OEMs to maintain market share selling ICE and sh*tty EV models”.

102 wins and counting.

The problem is that the cars we sell to US consumers are not desired anywhere else.

I’m in an airport facing 12 hours of travel. I should be able to provide a more thorough review in 24 hours.

I’m one chapter in. I recommend based on what I’ve read. A good resource if you are interested in food policy from the perspective of an ag economist.

That’s quite the graph.

Probably can’t conclude anything, but it would seem a third of CPC voters have buyer’s remorse today. If he had tried to stay in the spotlight his numbers would probably be worse.

I graduated from university in the 80's. Not a great job market. I remember it well.

I think if you fully study the Bible you will end up in a place like Bart Ehrman.

Beautiful

Why does this matter to anyone? Whether total factor productivity in ag production continues to climb should be the primary concern. Trade deficits/surpluses are irrelevant.

The US disagrees with the panel. They signed a deal, but the ~250 tariff is hard to ignore. It will be an ongoing irritant. It's disingenuous to claim that the US isn't exporting up to their tariff free limit, so why does it matter.

USMCA trade panel rejects US complaint about access to Canada dairy market A trade dispute settlement panel set up under a major North American free trade agreement has rejected a U.S. complaint that Canada is improperly limiting access to its dairy market, an official report showed on Friday.

It's a disputed issue. US claims Canada is unfairly restricting US dairy exports within the zero-rated negotiated agreement. They would export much more if border was open. www.reuters.com/markets/usmc...

The promise from the Freeland to double salaries (and cut labour productivity in half) to meet the 2% demand more quickly was an interesting choice. Carney seems to understand the challenge of getting to 2%.

“Make that make sense “….pause…powerful words and delivery.

Do you think there is value in having a continual living crop/cover crop if goal is to maximize carbon capture?

Partisan brain...

So you think Vladdy would have signed 8 years/ 100 million after 2021...

As a farmer, contrary to headline, it’s hard to find a lesson learned from that study.

Seems like a good definition. It uses a similar approach as farm food safety certifications where constant improvement is the expectation while there is no definition of a food safe operation.

I guess the herd immunity bros are going to find out.

Sounds good and also practical. I miss matoke with “sauce” from Uganda. Usually sauce was bean or “g-nut” based.
