My dad bought a quarter in 1955 for 22 bucks an acre. Paid it off with ease in one crop. Not that I expect that now a days, but things have changed in this regard. Remember, their input costs were diddly. Fuel was 30 cents a gallon etc.
Even if it seemed like a lot at the time for a lot of these guys, it was not near impossible to pay for in 30 or so years like it is now.
Is it progress? I dunno.
