Somalis familiar w Alberta is there a future of Somalis in Livestock industry

[ZBR]

Imagine buy a dairy farm and sponsoring a pastoral Somali nuclear family, husband, wife, and children to manage it with you

Looking at the Alberta landscape it’s one of the most pristine and pure in the world, and the people have a reputation of being so humble open minded and welcoming compared to Montana

Seems like a genuine place, also one can become wealthy wilst not becoming morally socially and character degenerated by city life

I’ve seen some Mexican and Brazilian ranchers in Alberta. I don’t know about the business tho.

Do you think a pastoral Somali family would do any good in Alberta? The lifestyles seem very different

Why not Southern Saskatchewan

Any sort of agricultural or livestock industry in First World nations is not profitable unless you inherit the land and equipment (and even then the margins are razor thin). The capital required to start a farm is huge and probably will not pay off in your lifetime. Governments have to subsidise farms otherwise they would all go bankrupt. The private school I go to has farmer’s sons enrolled who are looking to go into STEM and Finance rather than take over their family farms as many of those before them did.

"Behind every successful farmer is a wife who works in town".

It's hard to make enough profit to comfortably raise a family, at least without using your children as free labour, and that would only be until they're 18 unless you plan on ruining their future.
