Subject: Canada the new hot spot to buy farm equipment due to currency imploding?


I see that it now takes 1.46 Canadian dollars to equal 1 U. S. dollar. In 2011 it only took .95 cents Canadian to equal 1 U. S. dollar, Does this mean I should go to Canada to buy farm equipment or does it mean the Canadian farmer is now priced out of buying equipment because their dollar is so weak.?If grain has gone down in the U. S. because of the strong dollar and weak exports. Why is it that new american made farm equipment is still being priced up 5% every year when they should be getting their manufacturing supplies cheap from other countries because of the strong dollar. New equipment sales in the U. S. have to be falling off a cliff.Have any of you other guys been going north across the Canadian border to buy slightly used equipment? Is it an even better buyers market up there right now?
