Ha! Good luck! We have crop land going for over $6000/acre, granted that isn't what you are probably looking for, but shit is expensive out here. The rest we've got covered. Hopefully by the time you retire shit will have stabilized.

I can't wait for $3 corn

I can't wait for $3 corn

as someone that feeds a lot of cattle it wouldnt hurt my feelings a bit

[DeadEye_Dan]

As someone who finances a lot of cattle, hogs and dairy - me either.

I'm seeing some projections now that touch $3.30 range next spring.

[assateague]

Fat chance. The only way that'll happen is if the economy really does slam back into the double/triple/whatever dip in the recession it'll be on. I'veheard predictions of that happening end of this fiscal year as well. In which case, $3.30 corn will still be too expensive for the riff-raff.

[DeadEye_Dan]

I think I'm more inclined to believe the guys that are saying China will step in an buy heavy when it gets to the $4.25 range

I hate winter. Love hunting, but absolutely hate winter.

Exactly. Wind sucks ass too.

Love winter.

This. Fuck this hotness. After July 4th, I have no use for summer. One month til dove season...

[The Duck Hammer]

Yep, just got home from Texarkana.

Was that the one listed in the hunter resale group?

Nope, Craigslist.

[The Duck Hammer]

And congratulations DH. I miss my truck...

Thanks, took forever to find it. Used 4wd Colorados with less than 100k are hard to find.

Why were you set on the Colorado?

Gas mileage mainly.

This spot should be filled with arrows and ringer decoys, but I didn't know if I had to feed the dogs dinner till a half hour ago (I don't), and I'm not dealing with rush hour traffic to run across the citties to Cabelas

Isn't there one in Owatonna or somewhere down there?

[jarbo03]

Yes there is

[Rick]

Having only 2 months when either the A/C or heater is not running sucks.

As I type, the A/C is running for Sweet Chereaux and a space heater is on by my desk. House is freaking cold for someone who spends most of his Louisiana Summers outdoors.

[Goldfish]

Isn't there one in Owatonna or somewhere down there?

Not any closer. Rogers is 45 min, owatonna is an hour. Although I suppose with traffic I get where you are going with that

[assateague]

A far nicer ride, at least.

Once out of the cornbelt, that can drop to $1500.

4-6k here in SW MI.

I'm currently looking to buy house/property... let me tell you that is going to hurt.

God Damn Chicagoans!

Those jack-offs and the corn subsidies have driven the cost of land up so high around here that it is nearly impossible to buy.

Depending on what you're trying to buy 12K isn't the top. I looked at a place 2 nights ago, 17 acres... $230K. 6-8k is the average tho.
All it had was what the realtor called a "nice water feature" aka a field drainage ditch.

[DeadEye_Dan]

Those estate sized parcels are ridiculous.

Yeah, I know of a few guys that have been offered $15k, and a couple parcels in Elkhart Co that have sold for $14k, but I'm not aware of much over that.

That's the problem... With the FIPs buying everything up, all the large parcels are being split into medium estate size properties. And the price jumps from 3-4K to $8K+ per acre.

It really makes it hard to buy.

About 20 years ago, my parents bought their place, a couple towns over, for like $800/acre.

How can they justify that increasing 10 fold?

My dad has the same profession and went to the sane college as me... the salary jump was no a factor of 10.

Needless to say... I want the gov to stop subsidizing crops so life will be affordable again.

And for the FIPs to head back to their cesspool.

Middle of country dont get snow every season reliably but what you want is...
in Illinois believe it ir not. World record sized bucks come from the Illinois River valley.
World-class duck and goosehunting too but...its all commercialized. Can you sell a couple C.G. cutters and a barge? Cheap? lol

On serious note: Look around Havana or Canton, Illinois.

[Olly]

AB, Ohio and Illinois are two states I'd never live in.

Northern Arkansas or Missouri have always been places I'd like to visit. Stoked about seeing Kansas this winter.
