What Barren posted , it was ALL OVER farming areas , some well heeled farmers backed there Sons to get into farming , rapid expansion , then high interest with falling prices in both grains & land/machinery and Sons took Fathers down too.
Would be to ersobnal too post on here but know many local guys who wanted to be a BTO and crashed and burned.
The last 15 yrs. have been best times ever to be grain & oilseeds farmer.
I've only been involved with ag for 7-8 yrs mostly working for someone hay farming but small scale cash crop of my own.. seems like lots of expansion and tiling and new elevators popped up in the last decade. Grey/Bruce counties really switched from cows to crops and a lot of those farms were pretty tough worn ground now fetching big $$
Seems like guys are making good money but maybe a fairly high debt load too? |
