Western Canada land sale offers big profits for settlers
Western Canada governments push land owners toward selling to settlers or cultivating their holdings. A surtax on wild or unimproved land makes owners pay more tax than productive farms, while improvements are untaxed to encourage farming. Prices on ready-to-farm land range from 15 to 30 per acre, with high potential profits from wheat yields and rising grain prices. Many Americans plan to visit Western Canada this winter to inspect farming opportunities and plan spring settlements.
