"What goes up, must come down."

Ain't no way you're paying for that s*** farming alone. Not in alifetime

Unless you are selling.

Herbster and fredricks were the bidders
Herbster ran for governor and is the guy who bought the million dollar angus bull
A shister for sure he bought the bull from a company he ownes in ND
He also owns Conklin
Fredricks won the bid. They are farmers alone

One acre....or 10,000 acres.....there's a difference.

Land will pay for itself.........up to a point. After that, it's just a matter of how much you're willing to give. I missed the boat here on buying anymore, as the Mennonites will pay whatever it takes to buy it, and it doesn't matter what kind of land it is.

it is about 250/300 thos. for a 125 by 125 ft. lot here in a subdiveson

That is crazy money for land that is going to be farmed, particularly land that isn't irrigated.

160 acres
27400/acre

A dry land farm

As high as $26,000 crazy!

Right now I can buy 400 acres of row crop (80%) and marketable mixed pine/hardwood (20%) land for $7,500 per acre with a historic house on it. Good dear and turkey on it also. Property has great potential for residential development as well, being minutes away from a growing city with 220k population. Only problem is I don’t have $3 million. I’m buying lottery tickets every month, wish me luck.

$30,000 in NW Iowa.

That’s nuts

Auction here in a few min. Will see

160 with 134 tillable and needs dirt work
8100
I stoped a 8000

Picked up 40 acres in NW Oregon for 65K. [img]http://[/img]

45 acres recent $2500 per acre

$17.9000. Last I've heard.

4,384,000 a quarter. Wow. My grand-parents housesteaded for a registration fee of between 10 bucks and 2 per quarter. I started buying farmland at 250 bucks an acre, and sort of quit at 400 because all of a sudden they wanted 1500. Had to re-evaluate at that point. Some of that would bring 5,000 an acre now, but most would be a little lower. For now anyway.

Look around the world a bit; mostly people don't expect land to pay for itself. If you need a place to put your house you'll pay what it takes to get it. If you have enough to matter you probably either inherited it or have some serious money.

Land is probably the only real thing there is. You can't eat gold, you can't build on a brick of bullion, you can't hunt, or live or ride a quad or snowmachine around on a stock certificate. In the meantime, everything that grows has to grow somewhere, everything and everybody has to be somewhere.
