I plan to purchase some hopefully by summer/fall of 2009. I'll be close to 25, and just married, but I've been fortunate enough to be able to save quite a bit of income from now until then. My dad plans to buy our neighbors 120acre tract to add in to our 90, and I know he intends to sell a piece to me, but I doubt I will do it. I want to find my own ground to start off on my own. Land in our area is relatively affordable, although there's still specific areas that draws high dollars. I couldn't NOT live on land, although I doubt it will be anything over 20 acres.
