Any Farms for Sale Out There?

Just going thru our grocery flyers and I freak at the price of meat/poultry. What's with that - I doubt the farmers are getting these huge increases passed on to them. I realize costs go up for everyone but $3.58 for drumettes!! They got too popular.

Actually, we try to eat meatless about 50% of our meals and if these prices continue we may be meatless in our house!

I noticed last night that I ate all my vegs, beans, bread, salad, potato and then picked away at my steak.

What are your thoughts?

Jean: It seems that any farms for sale, or houses for that matter, are being scooped up by Albertans. The house prices in Saskatoon went up 42 % from Jan - April 30. Prince Albert is the same, and here in Nipawin, houses are only on the market for a week or so. I guess I should be thinking of selling, but where to go??? A lot of larger farms are being bought up by Europeans that are coming to live here or are hiring locals for management. And that if the Real Estate market here in Saskatchewan.

I just wish our village (pop of 650) would allow us to keep chickens. I am not much of a red meat eater. Do enjoy chicken and
fish. We do grow our own veggies
and fruit and herbs.
The prices are out of this world.
We buy only on sale and then fill
the freezer.

Wonder why they don't allow it - sometimes smaller places are more lenient. And the garden fertilizer!Hon was raised in a town of 500 - population has stayed the same over the years.

These ordinances have been on the
village books for years. Believe it has something to do with the
rooster crowing at first light. Although this should not bother these people as most are retired
farm folk. The town, small as it is boasts two taverns, one insurance agency, a post office, a
small library, which was converted from the old train depot. This
building also houses the one and
only police man, and village office. We also have a Casey
store/gas station....much like the
Canadian 7 ll. Children are bused
11 miles down the road to the
ext town east which boasts a
population of 6000. No work in this town...all commute to various
places. Half of the village is
retired, although we do have children on our street. Young people moving to the little towns
to raise their children, despite the lack of ammenities.
