Farmland Ownership Surveys

I really don't see "the investors" making any difference in land prices in our area.

In fact it's been a good thing, they've bought some land no one else would buy and provided an exit for the guy wanting to sell.

It shouldn't be regulated anymore than anything else is in my opinion.

At least when an investor buys land it is available for farming but when a developer buys it is gone for ever.

Bring on the highest bidder, when we are selling..We need more people to move in ..not the land hungry neighbors that we have now..

Farmaholic.that story was going around as long as I have been farming since 1976.Seen most my age not make it.Went to the city for 2 good jobs.I stuck it out.Investor land is at least available to young farmers willing to work.if investors were not buying do you really believe these young guys would be able to buy? And for sure the big farmer would not rent it to them.

Bring on foreign investment....then when your grandchildren are starving because China came here and bought up all the land to feed their country, you can proudly tell them you made more in the sale than your neighbour.
This 'society' has been good to us, has given us lots...but now our society honors the dollar above everything else...we will get what we deserve.

The Grand kids will not starve, because in the future most of this country will be Chinese, and all other races that have already moved in..

Who started to farm this land from square 1?? It was all immigrants ..So why shut them out now?

Just imagine what your grandparents or great grandparents depending how old you are.Imagine what they would think of 10 or 20 thousand acre farms.There is no law or rules that can stop change in the agriculture BUSINESS wether you like it or not.
