Mennonites and Amish have really had an influence on land prices here. Plus, this is one of Kentucky's best farming areas, and local farmers aren't shy about pulling the trigger if they want a farm. The latest to sell was a farm one place over from me, it brought $11,000 an acre for 240 acres. Four Mennonite families from Pennsylvania bought it, and will divide it up between themselves. It was pretty good land, mostly all tillable, with several good buildings. But, the Mennonites don't care about the buildings, as they prefer to build their own style.
