Biggest thing most farmers had against the Land Bank was that it was land that they couldn't have.
Tough shit that SF3 types think they need another half section that some beginning farmer relied on. And there are also the personal public protection entitlements that are thought to go with those acres involved.
Say what you want....but there were farmers who got their start on a half section (or so) of Land Bank Land.
And when sold by government; it may have been the highest priced (in "real" dollars) that land was selling for in the 1980's. I never saw any Land Bank land offered for sale cheap.
