$40,000 an acre? Wow. But the land really is worth much more for ehat it can produce over generations. Not just in monetary terms, but in family value terms and self worth terms as well. I hate seeing farms get split up and sold to people who have no intention of keeping the farm goung by relatives that want nothing to do with farming life. As you know, it makes it near impossible for,the remaining family members who want to keep it to hang on and make it profitable then. Sorry to hear of your situation. Our nation is not headed in a lgood direction. Farming is so dang expensive these days, and lots don’t make it, which leaves us less able to get the food the nation needs. Now,the left are attacking meat ranches/farms too. We are gonna be in trouble as a nation soon if it continues.
Your so right. Once farmland has been paved it’s gone forever. And with a greater population but declining farms cannot portend to a bright future.
Lots of good land in Africa but it’s political situation is a terminal mess.
I’ll probably be dead before we get to Soylent green time but not by much.
