Down here in my area ( sw sask. ) there are a lot of greedy bastards that will buy land when it comes up for sale , just for the plain fact that they don't want their neighbors to have it , or they have a small penis , or they just don't like looking at anybody else around them when they are farming. In the area that I am living in , oil and gas revenue has been a blessing and a curse IE; high land prices. Right now $1000-1500 /acre seems to be the going price , and I know to some of you folks that seems cheap. Heres the rub: How does a younger farmer like me expand? I am 43 and would love to do it , but at a 25 year investment, and lets not forget that the other farmland will have to carry it along for a few years as well. I want my son to farm one day if he chooses to , but that is easily 15 years away . Does the math work for $200,000/per 1/4 at seeding wheat,barly , rye or peas? In our area ,canola is too risky because it can get hotter than hell in june and july. Any input on my questions would be appreciated. Have a good day everybody.

Option 1:If you cant beat them...join them. You become a greedy bastard and start writing cheques and buy/rent what you can.
Option 2: sell the land you have to a land investment company, use the cash to farm large acres, utilize the economies of scale. Apply for farmer of the year.
Option 3: Arbitrage. Rent your land out or sell it, and relocate to an area with lower rent/purchase price and less competition.
Option 4: add value to the acres you have. A modest cleaning and bagging system can create sales opportunities. One example is, fall rye for seed in the USA for cover crops.
