Some of those land prices make me want to sell out and move West. Might think about, but what I own has been in my family since the mid 1800,s. I hate to be the one that ends that.

To me, selling is like killing the goose that laid the golden egg. Then there are the taxes.

A neighbor has 70 acres for sale currently and was offered $6000./acre and turned it down. It's all grass and one small pond. Seems $6000 to $12,000 acre is the going rate for grass around here. All just waiting for someone to buy and build a house on.

Place a 1/4 mile from my place brought close to $10k per acre. 130 acres.
No way you can ever "cash flow" land at that price.
The money in the bank would make more in interest than you could possibly make by producing anything agriculture related on it.

Don't know how it is other places, but around here, the Amish and Mennonite's get what they want. Money never seems to matter. If you go to an auction and one starts to bid against you, your done, they will not stop until they win. I usually just leave when I see a bunch of them show up, sometimes I have been know to make sure the seller does well.

Most of time it doesn't even go to auction, as they just keep upping the offer until they buy it.

Strange,there are a lot of farms going to the Mennonites here too,does the church back them? I looked at a 13 acre spot on a seasonal road thinking of a summer camp,ended up going to them for 3k/acre.

Farmland around here in E WA varies with access to irrigation, most of it here is dryland wheat and pulse crops. What can't be plowed is usually grazed. Here's an example of one that's no longer on the market apparently, $1500 or so an acre for nearly 7k acres http://www.loopnet.com/Listing/15371039/East-Rd-Palouse-WA/ I was up there for a couple of months doing seasonal predator work along the Snake in May & June and looked at that property. Not to buy, just sheer curiosity. Seems that it is owned by the heirs of the fellow who put it all together and farmed it. He died and none of his kids want anything to do with it. The kids live on the coast. Dumbass kids sold the water rights before putting the property up for sale. Last I saw, a Realtor's ad in Dayton showed that they were down to $3.7 Million and still had no takers as of June 25th. To the OP, land around here varies from $1,800/ac to $3200/ac depending on whether there is marketable timber, water, improved pastureland, etc. Our place will probably go for ~$2400/ac. Ed
