There are those people who have more money than they know what to do with, & know how to talk other people out of theirs as well. But its not just farming. I read a sad story on MSNBC just about an hour ago about an elderly couples rent going from $700 / mo. to $2000 / mo. in North Dakota due to the oil boom. They are in their 80's, & are forced to move because there's no way they can pay that kind of rent on Social Security. Oil boom or not; how in the US does this happen. Why are they not building more apartments, & or homes there! Looks like they have a housing crisis; but not anything like what most of the country is facing!
Its sad; thats true. & what would happen if Goverment Subsidies were eliminated. I bet You land prices would fall to a more realistic level, & put everyone on the same playing field!!! Private investors would be crying the blues; but how much tax money did the Govt tax (aka: rob) from the that ND couple to give to 5000 acre farms with millions in assets. I farm, & hate the subsidie program with a passion! It has ruined real genuine family farming by corporations pushing people out for that Govt money!!!
