MN | About 900,000,000 acres farmed in the US, at your rate of 2000 acres a day, 730,000 acres a year it would take 1232 years to develop all the farmland.
The people I've talked to that were being encroached on, and had also decided to move on, were ecstatic about the price they were receiving for their ground. They were moving 50 to 100 miles away and buying 2-3 times the acres.
I know, I know, Grandpa farmed this ground and all that. Most of our ancestors abandoned their whole country and moved across an ocean for better opportunities.
If you're a salesman in the area being encroached on, yes you have some decisions to make. Lots of dealers that sold big tractors 50 years ago are selling lawnmowers and utility tractors now. The market changed and so did they. | |
