Western Canada Farm Debt Crisis: Is Too Big to Farm Real?

Описание: Western Canada farm debt crisis is escalating — and the question of who gets to farm, at what size, and under what debt load is no longer theoretical.

In this live briefing, Dan Aberhart brings together Robert Andjelic, Canada's largest private farmland owner, Kevin Hursh, a 2,500-acre farmer and agriculture journalist, John Kotylak, farming over 11,000 acres, and Dallas LeDuc, fire chief and outspoken voice on absentee landlord taxation — for a no-holds-barred conversation on the right farm size, farm creditor protection, the $50 billion farmland transfer underway in Western Canada, and whether farms have simply become too big to farm profitably.

This is the conversation the industry is having behind closed doors. Now it is happening live.
