Michael Olson Food Chain Radio – Farm Land Real Estate
In her novel The Good Earth, Pearl Buck wrote, “If roots are to bear fruit, they must be kept well in the soil of land.”
Her thought leads us to ask: Which farmland is best for bearing one’s fruit?
We have been hearing a lot about farmland recently. We’ve been hearing how very wealthy people like Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates have been using their millions and billions to buy up vast tracks of America’s farmland; how mysterious entities from China have been buying up farmland near America’s military bases; and how entrepreneurs have been buying up farmland covered in greenhouses for the purpose of growing America’s cannabis.
The true value of all that farmland is determined by what someone is willing to pay for it. And, there are a lot of reasons why people buy farmland.
Today, we focus on those who want to obtain farmland to grow food, flowers and fiber as a business. And we are fortunate to have one who knows how to find the true value farmland for a business.
Leave a comment below: Where is one most likely to find the nation’s most valuable farmland?
