I had 20 years mediating debt. Hm looks like 1979 all over again. Why the west doesn't get it just amazes me. One or two bumpers and their off to the races.
In our area no one is selling. Yes we have a number we would pay, but no one I repeat no one is selling.

A grand an acre SF3, may pay in these
lucky for the western side years. But
when normalcy returns, it sure won't.
Where I come from, land bids would be
very low, if anyone was selling. If
Hudye makes a deal on the Cawkwell land,
they will probably over-pay just to get
it, cuz the farmers here know what has
been going on here, and frankly most
don't have buying/expanding on their
minds. And then when they seed no crop?
Not a wise investment. They were way
higher in the 70's and 80's. 500 bucks
should easily do it here. Reality is
foremost in the brains around these
parts. I had a landlord call me, on
which scince 2004, I have seeded his
land 3 times. He was sad, and said he is
sure sorry about the situation out here.
Hopes we can drain again soon. He wants
15 bucks an acre this year. Are you sure
I ask? Yes, you've been through hell out
there. Gee thanks. At least one older
farmer gets it a bit. He never went out
and looked for new renters, he wants 15
bucks from me. Because with the no-drain
ban on, he knows no one else is looking
for land. Class one and two dirt.

Grainland here is not sexy right now. It
is a liability!!!

Just thought I would add here that this investor bought just land, no buildings or yard sites thrown in. Yard sites got subdivided off on all the home quarters.

"I had 20 years mediating debt. Hm looks like 1979 all over again. Why the west doesn't get it just amazes me."

Maybe the reason the west (and the east) doesn't get it is because of "20 years of mediating debt".

We had the same thing here in the '70's and '80's - people spending money like drunken sailors and then wondering why they were going broke. Well, the Farm Debt Review Board stepped in and saved their @$$3$.

What did a lot of them do? Went out and doubled up!

Where is the justice in that? Where is the reward for running a responsible operation with a justifiable and manageable debt load when we know that some bleeding heart organization is going to bail out our stupid @$$ if we get into trouble?

When we start breaking natural laws for the benefit of a few irresponsible idiots, don't be surprised if eventually the game is dominated by irresponsible idiots.

We are now there folks. In spades.
