Yesterday I attended a farm retirement sale 16 miles southeast of me..It was the third sale I've been to this year where the temperature was in the low 40's with a north wind...Today at noon it was 33 degrees and we had 1/2 to 1 inch of snow...Our normal high is 70 this time of the year..
They tried to sell the 360 acre farm at 10 AM....Theres 335 acres tillable,10 acres of timber, and a 5 acre lake...There was a 1240 sq ft house, 40 by 60 machine shed,40 by 42 shop,and 22,000 bushels of grain storage..They tried to start at $4,000 per acre and dropped to $2,500 and no one would raise it....Several said that the owner wanted $3,600 per acre....A friend farms in this area and says that the soil is so-so and the rain often skips it..This land would cash rent for about $75-80 tops per acre..Those that think this is cheap haven't farmed in this area..
