There are thousands of 4th generation farmers. Maybe tens of thousands.
Good grief, my grandpa homesteaded in early 1900s (very common) and my sons are 4th generation.at age 30 and 40.
Know a guy 50 miles from here who is 6th generation.
I can think of way more times when land was a good investment than when it wasnt.
It's increased 50 fold here in 50 yesrs
Must be similar other areas
And we"re in dryland wheat country. Not 250+ corn area.
That went "whoosh" right over your head, didn't it. It was an attempt to restate the point that it's not always about whether or not something is a good investment. When your family has farmed the same land for generations, and you have a generation after you farming, and you're in an area where land only sells once every couple generations, it doesn't matter whether or not the land is a good investment at the moment. You buy land when it's for sale.
And here I thought it was a cute bit of writing!!! Ha! |
