    Good bye to 45 years of farming.

    "Return on investment for land needs to be calculated based on your average land cost over your farming career."

    Disagree, every purchase must pay for itself or you are diminishing your total net worth. Or it's just, "more than you need to feed greed"

      you guys dont know how lucky you are with all this land available.
      my family have farmed in scotland for at least 150 years, and never managed to buy anything.
      i have tried and now given up, with land at £8,000 per acre, banks tightening up and every a hole from the city chasing it, i have no chance.

        Hedgehog, some area have had land in
        massive supply, some not so much. I am
        in a place where land changing hands is
        very infrequent. Lots of young guys,
        lots of hardy peasant stock from
        Germany. Farms here are much smaller
        than average because of this, and other
        factors. But yeah, some areas are nearly
        empty compared to here. I can stand on
        my driveway, and count 12 or more farms
        within a 3 mile radius. Not entirely
        typical. Growth is slow for everyone
        here.

        A lot of times, you read in the farm
        magazines of how a farm grew from 2000
        acres to 12 000 acres within 10 years or
        less. Well, because of the above young
        farmer factor, I would say there has not
        been 12 000 acres for sale anywhere near
        me in my 20 year farming career! lol
