Great post Gerry, I lease a farm and at present
farming has never been so good for a long time. If Goeff is leasing his farm
out,farm gate prices and land values are particularly buoyant at present, and if
there is going to be a slowing of the U.S. economy to the extent he predicts
with assoc downturn of beef and dairy,then now would be an excellent time to get
out and get into gold!
The best sheep and beef operaters are working on
approx 10% return on investment. to be realistic our good times are largely
exchange driven.Westpac
at the start of the year were predicting our
currency to be.50 but for now the market has other ideas. In $ terms for every
kilo of carcass weight (kgcwt) gain
a shift of .01 either way in our currency is
worth .08 either way in our pocket.
A 300 cwt bull is $4.05-$4.10 a kgcwt at
present. as to the future price of gold
i leave that to the market to
decide.
