There is a big land auction coming up in a few weeks. 153 tillable acres of some of the best ground in the county. Me and a few other young farmers from the area would love to get a shot at some of it. Auctioneer figures it will bring 5-5500 per acre! No way in H-E double hockey sticks do any of us stand a chance. It makes me sick! Good hard working young men who've just wanted to farm since they were old enough to walk cuz its all they've ever known, but will likely never get too. Once their old man gives it up all that will be left is the 100 or so acres that stays in the family. (maybe) Ag institutions of all types are offering discounts to young farmers to help get them going, until that land price gets somewhat reasonable again, its just a fart in the wind!
