Thanks to all who replied. Started off as a rant, but a lot of advise & ideas were thrown out on the table. I"ll be looking in on quite a few of them. The hogs I will someday raise will be on pasture or in hoop buildings, any cattle and poultry on pasture as well. As I was reading some of your post, I remember reading somewhere (probably on this website) that land is a good investment, but it"s smarter to invest in items that"ll make you money; livestock, any necessary machinery, and so on. I"m going to get in touch with my local FSA, extension office, and maybe even an accountant of some sorts, and start looking at land/ farms to get a better idea on what I should be looking at. It doesn"t help that right now I"m living in Dallas County, the fastest growing county in Iowa, and in the top 10 fastest growing counties in the nation. With the western sprawl of Des Moines, land prices are going thru the roof. Thanks again everyone for the ideas and encouragement.
