If you own your farm, or hypothetically if you don't, and times got extremely tough for you, would you ever sell your farm???
I am just curious, I own several hundred acres, that is a lot of dough!

I wouldn't sell my wife and I have been talking and if we had the money right now we would buy all the land we could. Land is moneya nd the longer you hold on to it the more money you have. So the only way I will sell any of my land is to buy bigger and better or to avoid bankrupcy.

Dunno if i would call my two tracts totaling 29 acres of wooded creek bottom a "farm," but I would probably work as a male prostitute servicing truckers at the local rest area for money before I would sell the largest piece. Thesmaller piece I would let go for $5Kan acre, but that's because wooded bottom land in that part of Illinois is probably down to less than $1500 an acre now.

In Florida RIGHT NOW the going price for land that is out of the way is about 7k to 12k an acre. It all depends where you live. I have a buddy with 886 acres. He just got offered 13,500 an acre for the whole thing.
I loved it when he told me "well where would I go to hunt hogs". No sale and that is a lot of money.

I realize that they ain't making land anymore, but I swear some people have no sense, both the buyer for offering that rediculous amount of money and the seller for turning it down. The days of easy money are over folks. developers can't buy you track for an insane amount knowing he can subdivide it and come out on top. Just like the housing bubble, you can bet your arse there will be a land bubble too.
