  • According to a recent report by Royal Bank, more than 40 per cent of farmers will likely retire in the next 10 years, with fewer and fewer people wanting to enter the industry. As Sohrab Sandhu reports, it's an issue the industry is preparing for now.

      Do you know that you don't actually need to own a farmland to be able to earn money from Agricultural Investment. Have you heard of Argo investment company, you can invest into their own farmland and they do all the dirty work and you earn profit from that.

    When investment corporations, international corporations, and developers drive land costs too high to get any farmers into the business, don't expect to eat without low nutritional, high cost foods over processed.
    Either protect farmland or go hungry. Cargill, JBS, and others have huge corporate farms, and lease them to people who must buy the supplies from these corporations, sell to them too.
    "Sixteen Tons" and what do you get? In debt.

      The ALR has become an obscenity with 6 bedroom homes on land meant for growing food, instead kms of weeds for crops.
      Drive down King George to White Rock. Millionaires and weeds, the new ALR exemption.

Globalists believe in overpopulation and have already shut down human reproduction in the developed world. Add starvation to that and we will go from 8000 million to 500 million people, like they planned. Farms throughout the western world are being shut down. We will have an epic famine soon

    After Trudeau’s fertilizer restrictions Canada will be in the same situation as Sri Lanka is right now. Farmers can’t make a profit so they stopped planting. Now they must import food at triple the cost. Exactly what will happen here.

    It's the property sellers who determine the prices of their land, so if money is more valuable to property sellers than to try to continue to produce food then I think people who rely on buying their food are going to starve.
    30,000 immigrants might be broke, or have little money, so setting up farms, or taking over farms might not be possible. 30,000 immigrants might experience the same problems as the current farmers, and the current farmers are not trying to solve their problems, and according to the video it includes drought, and flooding.

    Then you ship our meat south to usa, then buy it back at higher prices. Instead.of.selling meat south, then also butchering up north. Folks are buying over ahipped, over priced food. While each truck pays a border toll going both ways in illegal border crossing blockages, stagnating folks are n to poverty. On both sides of every border.
