I'd agree, although here in Sask. we are , as usual, a little behind the 
times. The economy is actually in pretty good shape compared to the rest of 
the country. There is still good demand for most of what we produce on the 
farms, as long as we are paid enough for those products to at least cover 
our cost of production. Fuel and fertiilizer costs have actually dropped in 
price from a few months ago, hopefully enough to compensate for the drop in 
grain prices. Oil and fertilizer are still selling pretty good and we 
produce a bit of that here too.
If people are not buying new vehicles and machinery, they must be repairing 
the old iron. So its good for the service industry as you say.
