Top 100 Landowners in America: landreport.com/land-report-100 3. Ted Turner - 2 million acres 4. San Kroenke - 1.7 million acres 25. Jeff Bezos - 420k acres 42. Bill Gates - 250k acres 48. Taylor Sheridan - 266k acres (the guy who created Yellowstone) in total, there's 890 million acres of farmland across America. So these owners still have a small share. But it's growing. And growing fast.
Thank you Nick, this was an interesting video. I laughed when you said "is there a bubble in farmland?"I didn't see it coming, but you are a crash guy so . . .lol. Great work as usual.
It's about the water rights. The crops are temporary and incidental. They are playing the long game believing that many surface water sources will become mysteriously contaminated at some point in the near future. They've been working on this for a few decades now, controlling the water. These are the same lizards betting hard on mass depopulations - why would they care about food? It's the water.
Seems like fairly normal diversification when asset bubbles have spread across asset classes and liquid assets can be stolen more rapidly than real assets.
Gates and company bought 6300 acres in Madison county Ohio. A solar farm will be built there. You should check that out. Supposed to be built next year. But might be going to Ohio Supreme Court b/c people are against it.
@@benton-benton The solar farm going up is likely more profitable than corn or whatever agricultural it displaced. Of course, is the solar profit organic market pricing, or does it depend on federal government subsidies influencing market actors? Both corn and solar receive absurd government subsidies. So really we have no clear signal as to which utility of this 6300 acres of land is most valuable to consumers. If the loss of agro output doesn't affect grocery prices yet it lowers electricity costs, isn't that an upgrade? If the price of food goes up because of the loss of agro output on this 6300 acres and the price of electricity doesn't go lower, then it was a dumb project. My suspicion is that neither agro or solar production are the best use of the land since both have an unfair market advatage over alternative uses because of federal subsidies. Perhaps a 6300 acre suburban development would have been the better option. Or maybe letting the land remain fallow for some unforeseen future utility would be the better option.
@@aaron159r2 I was writing an answer to you and you tube disappeared it when I mentioned what crimes are going on here w/utilities in Ohio. Rep house speaker went to jail b/c of it. More to come. Feds are involved. I would hate to live by that solar farm. It's going to be the largest ever in the US. I'm one county over from it and I hate it. Now watch you tube AI take this off. Hopefully this one will please you tube more b/c there is less information.
@@stecder2470 You must notify the National Agricultural Service of your desire to purchase a plot of land and get permision. . This must be done by both parties. You must have a valid license for agricultural. You must have proof of sale that you grew and sold agricultural within the specified time. Priority of selling land goes to neighboring land owners. A person or company may not own more land than is provided for by law. And many other restriction that is blocking large land owners and non farmers.
@@romenas That's too bad. I bet fewer capital restrictions could usher in more investment and improve the efficiency and output of the Lithuanian agricultural industry. Are you a resident of Lithuania? Is food more expensive there relative to the USA or neighboring countries with fewer restrictions?
Nebraska here, yes no way young people or young farmers can buy land here any more. The prices are through the roof. Its not fair. Not fair because i feel this is why the prices are out of reach.
But yet you more likely than not voted for Donald Trump coming from Nebraska. I’ve never seen Americans this stupid and I’ve been here 70 years. I had a parent who lives in the depression so I heard a lot about what happened from 1920 on. If this is a tool to control us all, and you’re making a huge mistake here America will never be the country that you thought it was or that you feel that you always believed to be. It’s never really been that country and it’ll never hit the prosperity that you knew was a youth
Yeah, those billioners receive so much money all the time that they have hard time to minimize taxes and put money to somewhere. Wall Street buys houses and billioners farm land
Neither can you can't print business operations, professional services or raw commodities. These folks own a lot more of those things than land. The land is likely just a diversifying asset with a lower relative expected yield, but available in sufficient volume to buy lots of it without driving the price much higher.
@@carlalv7717 Exactly. Since you can't pack up your land and leave, it's an easy target for local politicians to help themselves to your bounty. Land and farm tax have funded corrupt governments going back to antiquity. Ancient Egyptian farmers were taxed to oblivioun to support the pharoah's absurd military exploits and construction projects.
@twosencefromcleveland6084 Not selling the land does not work when corporate entities and billionaires have control of the govt. They will make people sell their land through all kinds of legal and illegal and criminally legalized means. Wake up, we are not in Kansas anymore.
The reason smart investors are buying farmland is because they would rather loose 20% on farmland than 40% in the stock market. They have to store their wealth somewhere and long term farmland is safer than cash, banks, stocks, etc.
@@alanwann9318Or they could be a bit more benevolent and fund the homeless or orphans.For much is given,much is expected.If I had that kind of wealth and money was no object,I would help the disenfranchised people or rebuild communities. I don’t get these games of control that rich people play?
Nobody’s losing money in the markets, The S&P out preforms real estate every year by a wide margin.. Wealthy people understand diversity, you apparently understand very little about finance 😅
I will buy from the lowest cost producer that offers the best price on a quality product. It's rarely the local family business. Let me ask, would you also buy your vehicle from the local family owned car maker? What about the gasoline, electricity or other energy that powers your life and the factories than make everything you consume? Get that from the local family oil well? We live in a global market, and we should be grateful for that, because the products we consume are far more abundant and affordable today relative to nearly all other times in the past. In 1920, a bushel of wheat cost $1-2. In 2024, wheat was roughly $6-7/bushel. Comparing that to median household income in 1920 ($2500/yr) and 2024 ($78,000/yr), we can see that the annual earnings of an American family in terms of WHEAT rose from about 1,600 bushels per year in 1920 to 12,000 bushels per year in 2024. Family farming did NOT make that happen. It was the rise and implementation of industrial agriculture.
@@user-ms3ko5gn8e I totally agree with the "to each their own" sentiment. The one person who best advocates for themself is oneself. And yes, if you have the privilege to own enough land and have the time to operate a low yield hobby farm at home, then your are a lucky person. A home farm can add redundancy and builds resiliency, but it does come at a cost. Many American families are very busy with kids' education and two working parents or a single parent. Being a stay-at-home casual hobby farmer is a big time commitment with relatively low yield, certainly not enough caloric production to feed a family for the year. Most people are better off having a specialized, modern day job and leaving the food production to the industrial professionals. Nobody has single control over the food production process. It is a very robust ecosytem of competition. Profit margins are VERY low and it requires a ton of capital investement and dedicated, specialize effort. We are not facing a "control the food, control the people" problem in the US.
@@aaron159r2 They create "eco policies" that can indeed control all food production. Some states are implementing controls on rain water collection & well water usage. You can't have food if there is no water. You are entitled to your opinion & so am I. I am also glad that I live on acreage with an orchard, if things fall apart. That I am fortunate for. Many can't say the same.
Lobby your local officials to raise property taxes but add a homestead exemption. That clobbers the returns for investors like gates but can protect small farms.
@@aaron159r2what do you mean?? Those rich people are the ones telling govt what they want done and paying for it to get done, why do you think they’re always in cahoots??
@@aaron159r2 A few rich guys control the government. McDonald's is never going to lock people in a jail and force them to sew their uniforms together but they'll pay State Prisons to make their inmates do it.
Thats why India have law that doesn't matter who you are or how rich you are you can't have more than certain amount of land . Like in my state it's 55.
Indians are colonisers. The army of the Indian king Rajendra also invaded modern-day Bangladesh and cities in what are now Malaysia, Indonesia and southern Thailand. Sri Lanka and Indonesia were colonies of the Chola empire and paid tribute. Thus they constitute part of 'Greater India' which consist of Ancient India and regions significantly influenced by Indian culture.
Gates bought a large farm near my family in central WA and has cut all operations. It now is just in maintenance mode with a skeleton crew and produces nothing. Weird.
I live in San Diego County and Gates bought a Massive Horse training facility in Del Mar/ Rancho Santa Fe. Some of the most expensive real estate in the country. Also been in maintenance mode for years. They have definitely spent a fortune adding fences, gates, and hedges. All this while he builds his beach side “Bachelor pad” right down the road. Crazy.
Doesn’t matter. Global ag output is rising rapidly due to low cost Chinese equipment. US farmers must buy expensive US equipment. They have a higher cost basis that is now becoming uncompetitive and are being squeezed out globally.
@@marcv2648 Yup, this is why tariffs and capital controls usually end up diverting capital and talent into other jurisdictions. You gotta let the free market allocate land, labor and capital in a price sensitive, profit incentivised manner. Other waste, innefficiency and malinventment accumulate. Trust me, the "caps" on ownership will never apply to the wealthy or politically connected. Implement ownership caps and restrictions and they will apply to YOU eventually.
I live out in the county away from Austin, Texas. 40 years ago pasture land was $800. I paid back then $7000 for one acre to put my house on. Now land is selling for $55000. Per acre. Farms are disappeared!
That’s really sad to hear. It sounds like the surrounding Nashville farmland and acreages too. I loved the Austin area when I visited many years ago. Miles of farmland surrounding the area. I’m building in NC currently and I’m seeing the same situation there.
Bullshit. No farm land sells for 55k. From Iowa here smack in the center of the richest soil on the plant. A record wes just set in ND 3 werks ago for 28k an acer. Development land 55k not farm land.
I think that it will be difficult for them to protect their assets from hungry people being ready to risk it all to eat something. Private property is respected only by people with full stomach.
@@RayFromTheHayclan Not so easy, people need food, not gold or banknotes to live. Food storage is limited, even in the biggest vaults. On the other hand, land can produce food. Land is large and cannot be kept for oneself easily. An army protecting fields might quickly turn into a bunch of farmers not giving a ---- of the owner buried in the bunker.
It’s all propaganda. You know which foreign entities own the most farmland in the US? Canada. They own over 12M acres when Chinese only own 380,000 acres.
This is crazy. I’m so concerned for the future of our nation. These billionaires who are not farmers do not have the American people’s best interest at heart. Meanwhile, more and more common people are slowly not going to be able to own any investments and struggle with rent their whole lives.
@@Darkness8536 politicians and elite would shut off air if they could. They are increasingly controlling water and driving small farmers out of business. Anything to stop self sufficiency.
There will never be a land bubble. The supply is finite, what is available is not all suitable for agriculture, and as food-producing land falls more and more into the hands of the rich and powerful, the food supply will become more controlled. If people did not see the game plan from 2020, then they will never see it.
Thats not farm land thats devolpmet land. Dam you people are...investors by up farm land arond metro areas then break it up into parcels and sell it off. The ignorance on this video is stunning!
@dougm2681 exactly! Developers will buy a small 300 acre tract for over 10 million then break it up into 1-5 acre planned community lots at 250k each! Average Joe can’t afford 10 unrestricted acres to farm on when developers are gobbling everything up.
Land prices in mid Missouri around my farm is $14K - $16K an acre. That alone will stop many from becomming new farmers. To earn a living from farming you'll need about 1,000+ acres and the equipment and fuel to work it.
Just started my garden, 3 types of peppers onions, tomatoes, celery, cilantro… gonna buy lemon, lime, avocado, and orange trees next… every American should have garden, especially if you live in the green belt where these things grow naturally, easy to maintain and takes a 10x10 plot in your yard….. hard times war, inflation, and famine seem to be approaching, I really hope I’m wrong
@@rainbowodysseybyjonlion better than eating belt leather like Russians during Stalingrad… I have storable food as well everything I mentioned just supplements that. Anything and everything makes a difference when people are hungry enough to eat other people
I just caught this video while I was eating breakfast. I am a farmer and your information is pretty much spot on. I’d say it was spot on, but I’m sure I’m missing something and I use your information to back up mine I’ve always wanted to be a farmer and I lived on a farm since I came home from the hospital, I have a different perspective on farming because my dad was a barn during his depression in 1919 and pretty much made sure I live through it all my life. I see people talk about depression and everything like that. I used to tell my dad, the only depression we have around here is you which was my dad he was always concerned about the situation. It’s about to happen or has happened before in the past, these events that were having today have been planned by the few people who control all the money they want to control everything. These people want to control everything being a farmer you learn how things work most important you need to know how to make it work, timing is everything. I gotta kick it. You going cross this cornfield there knowing me, knowing that I’m a farmer you have poor crops there that will not pay the rent. your environment will be lost in two years time or less. Most average age is 57 of a farmer. That means that there’s a lot of farmers in their 70s and 80s still farming and managing their land. They will pass away and most of this land will be transferred to the wealthy, other thing the land farmers have been farming for many years for other people was farmers and now that’s going to their children. The enormous wall of that land is too much for them to comprehend, and as well as other members of the family require them to sell it this land will be lost as well. Small farmer will not be able to work as, if we go with cash rent that secures the investment for Bill Gates and all the rest of these multi millionaires they’re using Crop Ins. the Crop Ins. is a great tool that is needed to support the family farm problem like every good thing like gunpowder it gets used in the wrong way. It’s only there to secure the investment for Rich. The whole idea the Crop Ins. was to help maintain farming during bad times. The farmers have no control, but if you have to pay rent cash rent, you lost your control. There is no way pay the highest rent and for a person wanting the farm. The only way to get land is the pay more rent. There is many farmers that farm 10 to 20,000 acres of land on a $20-$40 an acre margin right now they’ll be losing close to $200 and even more depending on their cash flow, a lot of these farmers have co-ops financing them or corporations controlling the whole network of farming operation so basically that farmers not growing food he’s growing a commodity to be manufactured and chicken. McNugget said McDonald’s during the 30s farmers raise food for themselves first and then sold off what they didn’t need and use that cash for other things. hope is a good thing, but if you don’t work at it has no meaning we definitely need to take the corporate America out of America in the world to free the world, so people can make their own decisions with their own efforts those who do not work will not eat there nobody left to operate this equipment. You got rid of all the small farms with families that worship God. These are the people that made America great having the ability to fix things and make things work. Self taught self learn the road of many mistakes that was overcome common sense. vote Trump with Kennedy and his background. Maybe we can stop Geo engineering which is destroying most of the farmland in the area for those who’s not aware look up Geoengineering Watch Gobal Alert News if you like what I just said, I’d be more than happy to work for the government and the department of agriculture give Donald Trump, my name and number, I want to go after the greed of corporate agriculture man’s chief concern is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.
Paragraphs are your friend - a wall of text is not. Another piece of advice - keep religion out of your conversation - people will not listen to you if you accuse them as 'sinners' and deserve their fate if they have different views than you. However, I did read your comment and appreciate your pointing out about geoengineering. I have also come from a long lineage of farmers that survived the Great Depression well and fed their families just fine. Yes, it was a lot of work. But most people live in cities these days and cities don't feed themselves as they are artificial constructs. Prepping is the word.
God and farmers are hand in hand. Its how we roll. Gates and the elites dont believe in God only profits. Their values dont benefit anyone but themselves.@@JoJo1955
Thanks for the insights you have, I believe your right and life struggles affect everyone,big cities really rely on common sense of survival,, asphalt fields don't produce food, I enjoyed your story,keeping the Faith,in Good Faith...
Considering the economic situation I ask,?? How can we save our families and friends from financial slavery. It's getting more scary how people are really suffering these days.I can't fold and watch people around me suffer.
Her concept is key in beating all odds to excel in this form of online commodity. Her management team is quite impressive so far! With SUK made a profit of over 28,863 dollar.
just withdrew my profits a week ago, To be honest it was an amazing feeling when the profits hits my wallet I wish I could reinvest but, too much bills
Financial slavery, like, crippling debt they can’t climb out of? I think most people just need a basic understanding of finance, and need to be told to only use credit cards like debit cards and pay them off right away. Higher education is a good way to get a good wage, and as long as you avoid New York, LA, or the Bay Area you should be pretty comfortable
I come from India, the controversial Farm bills were introduced by our Govt. which provided inroads to Big Corporations in farming sector, thereby ousting small and medium farmers. But with great resistance from farmers the govt had to step back and repeal those laws. What intrigues me is why are big corporates all of a sudden are so interested in farming ? Is it about having control over the population or is there something more than meets the eye.
I remember the 80’s quite well. Fortunately, fertilizer and fuel were still affordable then. Now the commodity prices a cheap. Fuel, fertilizer and equipment are out of sight. This is not going to end well.
Deer hunting has made farmland prices rise a ton also. You can charge $10-$60 or more per acre to lease the hunting rights. That has made a huge market and revenue source for land owners.
Farmland/ranch land is one of the best if not the BEST real estate investment hands down. It’s served us very well investment wise. Especially farms and ranches with excellent water and water rights.
Investing in farmland can be a good idea, but I believe it's not for everyone due to the physical stress and other factors involved. When it comes to stock investment, it's essential to focus on digital options. I was introduced to the stock market a few years ago, and with the help of a financial advisor, I've seen significant gains in my portfolio. Financial management is a crucial topic that many people overlook, often leading to regrets later on.
Digital investments often offer greater flexibility and liquidity compared to buying a farm. With digital assets, you can easily diversify your portfolio and access real-time market data, making it easier to make informed decisions. Plus, the potential for quick returns in the stock market can significantly boost your financial situation, especially when working with a financial advisor.
I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations.
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.
Thanks, I just googled her full name and I'm really impressed with her credentials; I reached out to her since I need all the assistance I can get. I just scheduled a call.
The reason behind this bc US dollar as a reserve currency will be at risk if not already and at some point, commodities especially food supply is going to become even more important.
Been looking at farm land and livestock pastures in North Georgia in the 50 to 100 acre range. More to establish a homestead to support myself and family with little consideration for "profitability". With water, farm produce, and grazing animals all in one place is my goal.
Proper investment these days is better than actually working because that's how our system is designed to work. The working class may bring all the production and labor but the investment class sees the real rewards of that labor.
Wake up World: Endtimes prophesy's unfold's before our very eyes.

Wake up to what? What are you going to do about it? Keep paying taxes for the 1% which gives them more money to buy up all of the farmlands because you are too concerned with 2nd graders getting sex change operations by the school nurse? Now go pray for Jesus to return because you are too thick to see the church is just another untaxed multi billion dollar business that keeps you voting in their best interests. Not your own.
I own 10 acres in a rural farming area in Southern Michigan. I agree with everything you said... However, a concern of mine is when the financial system goes digital and blockchain takes over, the end goal for that is the complete tokenization of commodities and assets
The billionaires know that the Fed is bankrupt and the banksters are going to collapse the banks and declare insolvency. As these billionaires know that if they have cash in the bank it will be worthless when the crash happens. Therefore, the best option is to convert hard cash which can vanish -- into land which is a solid permanent asset but which can be converred back into cash when the times turn good.
Just like when Walmart came to a small towns. Say by by to mom and pop landlords. Restaurants etc. they are buying houses just like the land. Anyone remember the small family dairy farms???
Lost over 300 dairy farms in my county in NEPA in 17 years . The big conglomerates put them out of business as well as high property taxes , high fuel prices and the prices the milk processors paid them . Damn shame they killed the family farms and farmers
When I first read 1984 by George Orwell back in the 90's, I remember I thought it was some distopical fiction that wouldn't ever become real. Now I see Soylent Green coming soon.
Another good reason he and others are investing in farmland is the huge footprint required to build data centers. It's just not that optimal enough profit wise to keep locating them in urban centers since the price of land in those areas are already too high. The only catch is that the land may have to be rezoned for that purpose.
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety. Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions. Consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Thanks, I looked her up on Google and was very impressed by her credentials. I reached out because I need all the help I can get. I've scheduled a phone call with her.
I don't agree with a lot of the doom and gloom this guy goes on about in his other videos, but this video is spot on. My relatives are all from North Dakota farm land. Without a doubt this is what's going on.
So DISTURBING that there are NO RESTRICTIONS or REGULATIONS to stop the takeover of this land by these types of people And even WORSE that foreign COUNTRIES and folks can buy up large swaths of land
While Blacks folks USED to own % 14 percent of the farm land back in the 1920s and NOW only 1% and even some of those are under attack by residents that don’t want them there !
Yes, I could imagine a scenario where grain and meat were being exported to China while Americans went hungry, even if Americans were willing and able to pay higher prices.
I lived through it in the 1980’s and I remember so many farmers lost everything. So many. The political policies and greedy investors killed the American farmer. The ones that are left now are not like the original ones. Sad and scary
Farm ownership is part of the financialization of land which includes significant tax benefits but excludes by design farmers who increasingly find they can’t afford land
In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resources to guide beginners?
I completely understand the impact of the new year on financial decisions-it's transformative. While I've found success in investing, especially with the guidance of my advisor, Annette Christine Conte, I still appreciate the solid foundation i had. This principles align with the core values of financial discipline.
Grass should be taxed. If people are growing fruits, veggies, dandelions, etc... no tax. Grass ruins soil and doesn't produce anything. Also, native grasses that help the soil should not be taxed. It is wild to me that homeowners can get in trouble for producing food. I really want to move to a place where I'm allowed to grow produce for myself.
@@russ549We have more than enough resources to feed everyone on the planet and there are still people suffering and still billionaires wanting more and more. Artificial scarcity is what keeps us in this mindset. It's criminal how corporations have molded the world. I hope hell is real
Something I haven’t seen discussed is that the real long term play here is that fully autonomous farming is coming down the pipe…. Owning the land is going to be a much better situation when labor is not required and will result in an ability to corner to market
If there is some type of apocalyptic event people will move on and live on the land after things settle, fat chance courts would be around to fuss over much of anything
Those of us who have actually grown food know how much abundance you can create with just a small effort. While I do think there are scientific methods for large scale production and "expensive equipment" for efficiency, there is less to creating abundance than you might think. Decent dirt, a few tools, some organizing and some water. People that complain about food costs and then go for food stamps and watch TV all day just floor me, they are sabotaging what could easily become their family abundance.
No, if you control all food then you going to get mugged lol. If you control what people consume with their eyes then you will control 'some' of the people.
Imagine creating a giant problem then be regarded to as an investment genius because you “see something” risky on the economic horizon. The reality is they have either priced out the farms (high debt/reliant on gov subsidies) or flash enough useless fiat in-front of them and the family tradition is broken for American suburbia which also creates a “winning” investment for the billionaires buying the farms! It’s quite amazing.
Saudi Arabia also owns a sizable investment in farmland with a ton of water rights in Western Arizona, aka Colorado River water. Legislation will not stop this process as the foreign nationals will form US entities to hold the real estate with US citizen executive but controlled by the foreign nationals.
I see this all of the time in deed research traced back to private equity firms that we have no idea who they are. Guarantee some money laundering. LLCS paying cash for condos in a declining market that just doesn't make sense and reselling it less than a year later
@@NS-yu6yf Exactly. LLC have to file a report of owners now with the IRS at the Federal level annually. LLCs can use registered agents at the state level but the information is now, the requirement is recent, available at the Federal level. As for the money laundering, I would speculate that it is going on but I have no proof. This investment area is not fully understood by most Americans. If they did, they would realize how much of the USA is already foreign-owned/controlled.
I live in a rural community and prices have sky rocketed. I have seen farmers buy land for 45k per acre for 65 acres because it adjoins their farm. I have seen horrible farm land that is only 40% farm able to for 25acre for 165 acres because they nieghbor didn't want anyone building. Low interest rates has caused a massive boom in trades and tradesman in the Midwest I have seen charge $150 an hour. The cost build a house in 2019 was $95 it's now $300 a sqft land has quadrupled and people are making money hand over fist. I have seen life long educators buy airbnb's and now all have brand new 50k cars including their kids in high school. All of this has 1 thing in common.... cheap money and the money supply exploding. It's starting to Crack here, we went from 2 airbnbs in the area in 2019 too about 45. They were booked during covid because everyone from large cities came here to get away from the mandates. Travel is down 35% yoy and houses are starting to go for sale.
Land is fire proof, earthquake proof, hurricane proof, surproduction proof (nobody knows how to make more), therefore a perfect investment for those who have the cash. The improvement on the land not respecting the same law, therefore the less improvement on it the better the investment, assuming the price is right. What people make, has a short life span. What God made will outlast all.
I love this guy. Holds polls and sticks to the results, he’ll even do the second place video too because the people wanted it. Can you please train politicians on the will of the people?!
Stop waiting for the government to give job opportunities which are wasting much of your time when you can invest in digital marketing and live your dream life.
I sympathize with many people who had no knowledge digital marketing because currently dollar is unstable and coin is taking over to be universal currency.
An investment is a plan to put money to work today to obtain a greater amount of money in the future. It is also the primary way people save for major purchases or retirement. With stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities, individuals can create a diversified portfolio.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey.
However, collaborating with a seasoned financial advisor can empower you to make informed, strategic investment decisions, ultimately enhancing your prospects of realizing your financial aspirations and securing a brighter financial future.
Most of our farmland is used to raise crops, alfalfa etc for other countries, i know, im a truckdriver and i haul alfalfa pallets to long beach harbor, from there it gpes to china and other countries
I live in Texas, and yes, there is a bubble in raw land. Land that just four years ago was going for $5-8K an acre (10 acres are more) is now going for $25-35K per acre. I've noticed recently that they've been cutting the prices. They can't sell the land that they were asking $35K a year ago at $23K an acre today. I'm in North Texas, just west of the DFW metroplex.

Wow. Thanks so much for your fascinating and in-depth analyses of trends in farm land ownership. Similar to you, I find consolidation of basic resources needed for life into fewer and fewer hands disturbing. I think farmers and as many foundational businesses as possible need to become worker co-operatives that are democratically run. There are more of us than there are billionaires and if we can come together and work collectively perhaps through local credit unions we can redistribute wealth and democracy since worker cooperatives are more competitive than big corporations.
Top 100 Landowners in America: landreport.com/land-report-100
3. Ted Turner - 2 million acres
4. San Kroenke - 1.7 million acres
25. Jeff Bezos - 420k acres
42. Bill Gates - 250k acres
48. Taylor Sheridan - 266k acres (the guy who created Yellowstone)
in total, there's 890 million acres of farmland across America. So these owners still have a small share. But it's growing. And growing fast.
Thank you Nick, this was an interesting video. I laughed when you said "is there a bubble in farmland?"I didn't see it coming, but you are a crash guy so . . .lol. Great work as usual.
It's about the water rights. The crops are temporary and incidental. They are playing the long game believing that many surface water sources will become mysteriously contaminated at some point in the near future. They've been working on this for a few decades now, controlling the water. These are the same lizards betting hard on mass depopulations - why would they care about food? It's the water.
Seems like fairly normal diversification when asset bubbles have spread across asset classes and liquid assets can be stolen more rapidly than real assets.
Gates and company bought 6300 acres in Madison county Ohio. A solar farm will be built there. You should check that out. Supposed to be built next year. But might be going to Ohio Supreme Court b/c people are against it.
I am wondering if the bubble theories don't translate as well for farmland because of the massive US debt. People need food and government needs cash.

solar farm going up on 6300 acres in ohio.
That messed up old fart finaly made it where it belonged...
@@benton-benton The solar farm going up is likely more profitable than corn or whatever agricultural it displaced. Of course, is the solar profit organic market pricing, or does it depend on federal government subsidies influencing market actors? Both corn and solar receive absurd government subsidies. So really we have no clear signal as to which utility of this 6300 acres of land is most valuable to consumers. If the loss of agro output doesn't affect grocery prices yet it lowers electricity costs, isn't that an upgrade? If the price of food goes up because of the loss of agro output on this 6300 acres and the price of electricity doesn't go lower, then it was a dumb project. My suspicion is that neither agro or solar production are the best use of the land since both have an unfair market advatage over alternative uses because of federal subsidies. Perhaps a 6300 acre suburban development would have been the better option. Or maybe letting the land remain fallow for some unforeseen future utility would be the better option.

Neither can you can't print business operations, professional services or raw commodities. These folks own a lot more of those things than land. The land is likely just a diversifying asset with a lower relative expected yield, but available in sufficient volume to buy lots of it without driving the price much higher.

Control the food control the people. Make sure to purchase wisely...support your local farmers & ranchers if possible
I will buy from the lowest cost producer that offers the best price on a quality product. It's rarely the local family business. Let me ask, would you also buy your vehicle from the local family owned car maker? What about the gasoline, electricity or other energy that powers your life and the factories than make everything you consume? Get that from the local family oil well? We live in a global market, and we should be grateful for that, because the products we consume are far more abundant and affordable today relative to nearly all other times in the past. In 1920, a bushel of wheat cost $1-2. In 2024, wheat was roughly $6-7/bushel. Comparing that to median household income in 1920 ($2500/yr) and 2024 ($78,000/yr), we can see that the annual earnings of an American family in terms of WHEAT rose from about 1,600 bushels per year in 1920 to 12,000 bushels per year in 2024. Family farming did NOT make that happen. It was the rise and implementation of industrial agriculture.
@@aaron159r2 To each their own. but people in the great depression had their own farms to survive off of.
@@user-ms3ko5gn8e I totally agree with the "to each their own" sentiment. The one person who best advocates for themself is oneself. And yes, if you have the privilege to own enough land and have the time to operate a low yield hobby farm at home, then your are a lucky person. A home farm can add redundancy and builds resiliency, but it does come at a cost. Many American families are very busy with kids' education and two working parents or a single parent. Being a stay-at-home casual hobby farmer is a big time commitment with relatively low yield, certainly not enough caloric production to feed a family for the year. Most people are better off having a specialized, modern day job and leaving the food production to the industrial professionals. Nobody has single control over the food production process. It is a very robust ecosytem of competition. Profit margins are VERY low and it requires a ton of capital investement and dedicated, specialize effort. We are not facing a "control the food, control the people" problem in the US.
@@aaron159r2 They create "eco policies" that can indeed control all food production. Some states are implementing controls on rain water collection & well water usage. You can't have food if there is no water. You are entitled to your opinion & so am I. I am also glad that I live on acreage with an orchard, if things fall apart. That I am fortunate for. Many can't say the same.

Indians are colonisers. The army of the Indian king Rajendra also invaded modern-day Bangladesh and cities in what are now Malaysia, Indonesia and southern Thailand. Sri Lanka and Indonesia were colonies of the Chola empire and paid tribute. Thus they constitute part of 'Greater India' which consist of Ancient India and regions significantly influenced by Indian culture.
The goal is for corporate agriculture, corporate control of resources like water and energy. Corporate supply of goods. No more private enterprise.
Gates bought a large farm near my family in central WA and has cut all operations. It now is just in maintenance mode with a skeleton crew and produces nothing. Weird.
Decrease food create chaos and create control. We will be controlled by these corporations

We should have a cap on any one individual or corporation and their proxys from owning too much land. Zero foreigners should own US farmland
Doesn’t matter. Global ag output is rising rapidly due to low cost Chinese equipment. US farmers must buy expensive US equipment. They have a higher cost basis that is now becoming uncompetitive and are being squeezed out globally.
@@marcv2648 Yup, this is why tariffs and capital controls usually end up diverting capital and talent into other jurisdictions. You gotta let the free market allocate land, labor and capital in a price sensitive, profit incentivised manner. Other waste, innefficiency and malinventment accumulate. Trust me, the "caps" on ownership will never apply to the wealthy or politically connected. Implement ownership caps and restrictions and they will apply to YOU eventually.
You're absolutely right
You just wanna make all the rules, huh? No foreigners and only farmers.
So should the us also not own land in any other country?
I live out in the county away from Austin, Texas. 40 years ago pasture land was $800. I paid back then $7000 for one acre to put my house on. Now land is selling for $55000. Per acre. Farms are disappeared!
That’s really sad to hear. It sounds like the surrounding Nashville farmland and acreages too. I loved the Austin area when I visited many years ago. Miles of farmland surrounding the area. I’m building in NC currently and I’m seeing the same situation there.
Bullshit. No farm land sells for 55k. From Iowa here smack in the center of the richest soil on the plant. A record wes just set in ND 3 werks ago for 28k an acer. Development land 55k not farm land.

Interest rates is what stroked the land values in the 80’s. People borrowed on floating rates. Rates went to 20%. Bankrupted a lot of farmers

Is that farmland or land for home construction?
There will never be a land bubble. The supply is finite, what is available is not all suitable for agriculture, and as food-producing land falls more and more into the hands of the rich and powerful, the food supply will become more controlled. If people did not see the game plan from 2020, then they will never see it.

I just caught this video while I was eating breakfast. I am a farmer and your information is pretty much spot on. I’d say it was spot on, but I’m sure I’m missing something and I use your information to back up mine I’ve always wanted to be a farmer and I lived on a farm since I came home from the hospital, I have a different perspective on farming because my dad was a barn during his depression in 1919 and pretty much made sure I live through it all my life. I see people talk about depression and everything like that. I used to tell my dad, the only depression we have around here is you which was my dad he was always concerned about the situation. It’s about to happen or has happened before in the past, these events that were having today have been planned by the few people who control all the money they want to control everything. These people want to control everything being a farmer you learn how things work most important you need to know how to make it work, timing is everything. I gotta kick it. You going cross this cornfield there knowing me, knowing that I’m a farmer you have poor crops there that will not pay the rent. your environment will be lost in two years time or less. Most average age is 57 of a farmer. That means that there’s a lot of farmers in their 70s and 80s still farming and managing their land. They will pass away and most of this land will be transferred to the wealthy, other thing the land farmers have been farming for many years for other people was farmers and now that’s going to their children. The enormous wall of that land is too much for them to comprehend, and as well as other members of the family require them to sell it this land will be lost as well. Small farmer will not be able to work as, if we go with cash rent that secures the investment for Bill Gates and all the rest of these multi millionaires they’re using Crop Ins. the Crop Ins. is a great tool that is needed to support the family farm problem like every good thing like gunpowder it gets used in the wrong way. It’s only there to secure the investment for Rich. The whole idea the Crop Ins. was to help maintain farming during bad times. The farmers have no control, but if you have to pay rent cash rent, you lost your control. There is no way pay the highest rent and for a person wanting the farm. The only way to get land is the pay more rent. There is many farmers that farm 10 to 20,000 acres of land on a $20-$40 an acre margin right now they’ll be losing close to $200 and even more depending on their cash flow, a lot of these farmers have co-ops financing them or corporations controlling the whole network of farming operation so basically that farmers not growing food he’s growing a commodity to be manufactured and chicken. McNugget said McDonald’s during the 30s farmers raise food for themselves first and then sold off what they didn’t need and use that cash for other things. hope is a good thing, but if you don’t work at it has no meaning we definitely need to take the corporate America out of America in the world to free the world, so people can make their own decisions with their own efforts those who do not work will not eat there nobody left to operate this equipment. You got rid of all the small farms with families that worship God. These are the people that made America great having the ability to fix things and make things work. Self taught self learn the road of many mistakes that was overcome common sense. vote Trump with Kennedy and his background. Maybe we can stop Geo engineering which is destroying most of the farmland in the area for those who’s not aware look up Geoengineering Watch Gobal Alert News if you like what I just said, I’d be more than happy to work for the government and the department of agriculture give Donald Trump, my name and number, I want to go after the greed of corporate agriculture man’s chief concern is to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness.

Farmland, the best investment for preservation and growth of wealth. Other folks can buy bullion and other less valuable assets.
I come from India, the controversial Farm bills were introduced by our Govt. which provided inroads to Big Corporations in farming sector, thereby ousting small and medium farmers. But with great resistance from farmers the govt had to step back and repeal those laws.
What intrigues me is why are big corporates all of a sudden are so interested in farming ?
Is it about having control over the population or is there something more than meets the eye.
I remember the 80’s quite well. Fortunately, fertilizer and fuel were still affordable then. Now the commodity prices a cheap. Fuel, fertilizer and equipment are out of sight. This is not going to end well.
Deer hunting has made farmland prices rise a ton also. You can charge $10-$60 or more per acre to lease the hunting rights. That has made a huge market and revenue source for land owners.
Farmland/ranch land is one of the best if not the BEST real estate investment hands down. It’s served us very well investment wise. Especially farms and ranches with excellent water and water rights.
Investing in farmland can be a good idea, but I believe it's not for everyone due to the physical stress and other factors involved. When it comes to stock investment, it's essential to focus on digital options. I was introduced to the stock market a few years ago, and with the help of a financial advisor, I've seen significant gains in my portfolio. Financial management is a crucial topic that many people overlook, often leading to regrets later on.
Digital investments often offer greater flexibility and liquidity compared to buying a farm. With digital assets, you can easily diversify your portfolio and access real-time market data, making it easier to make informed decisions. Plus, the potential for quick returns in the stock market can significantly boost your financial situation, especially when working with a financial advisor.
I agree. Based on my personal experience working with an investment advisor, I currently have $385k in a well-diversified portfolio that has seen exponential growth. It's not just about having money to invest in stocks; you also need to be knowledgeable, persistent, and have the strength to hold on during market fluctuations.
That's impressive! I could really use the expertise of this manager for my dwindling portfolio. Who’s the professional guiding you?
My CFA, Teresa L. Athas, is a renowned figure in her field. I recommend researching her name online; you’ll find all her credentials and everything you need to work with a reliable professional. With many years of experience, she is a valuable resource for anyone looking to navigate the financial market.

The billionaires know that the Fed is bankrupt and the banksters are going to collapse the banks and declare insolvency. As these billionaires know that if they have cash in the bank it will be worthless when the crash happens. Therefore, the best option is to convert hard cash which can vanish -- into land which is a solid permanent asset but which can be converred back into cash when the times turn good.
Just like when Walmart came to a small towns. Say by by to mom and pop landlords. Restaurants etc. they are buying houses just like the land. Anyone remember the small family dairy farms???
Lost over 300 dairy farms in my county in NEPA in 17 years . The big conglomerates put them out of business as well as high property taxes , high fuel prices and the prices the milk processors paid them . Damn shame they killed the family farms and farmers
We use to be small dairy farm here in Wisconsin. We still cash crop.
Yummy corporate slop with no other options
you can thank the Simple-Minded BOOMERS for selling us ALL out YEARS ago.
When I first read 1984 by George Orwell back in the 90's, I remember I thought it was some distopical fiction that wouldn't ever become real. Now I see Soylent Green coming soon.
Been recognising this for a long time, there are truth clues in soylent green !we are in a 1984 now. Censorship, Surveillance, endless wars,
Is this why they are trying to push late term abortion? Instead of a ounce of tissue an eight pound body?
Another good reason he and others are investing in farmland is the huge footprint required to build data centers. It's just not that optimal enough profit wise to keep locating them in urban centers since the price of land in those areas are already too high. The only catch is that the land may have to be rezoned for that purpose.
THIS 👆🏻👍🏻
The new and improved. Sharecroper Class.
To fight back grow seed that can be replanted
Great insight on farm land, but it's nothing new that billionaires buying farm land. It's been like this ever since !
Our economy struggling with uncertainties, housing issues, foreclosures, global fluctuations, and pandemic aftermath, causing instability. Rising inflation, sluggish growth, and trade disruptions need urgent attention from all sectors to restore stability and stimulate growth.
With the US dollar losing value to inflation and other currencies gaining traction, uncertainty looms. Yet, many still trust in the Dollar's perceived safety.
Worried about my $420,000 retirement savings losing value, I seek alternative security for my money.
With my demanding job, I lack time for investment analysis. For seven years, a fiduciary has managed my portfolio, adapting to market conditions, enabling successful navigation and informed decisions.
Consider a similar approach.
this is definitely considerable! think you could suggest any professional/advisors i can get on the phone with? i'm in dire need of proper portfolio allocation
Jennafer Beaver Turner is the licensed advisor I use.
Just research the name. You'd find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment
Thanks, I looked her up on Google and was very impressed by her credentials. I reached out because I need all the help I can get. I've scheduled a phone call with her.
Better to buy land at any price, than holding the Vaporware that is the U.S. dollar.
Really enjoyed this one.
Water, trees, food, everything we are destroying daily only makes what’s left more valuable.
Good topic and timely too. Enjoyed and thank you.
400 k acres sounds like alot but there are 44 million acres of farmed land in nebraska alone. Just something to consider
But putting data into statistical context really takes the fear and panic out of the narritive. That's not fun.
So the stereotype is true of Nebraska? Literally good for nothing. Besides flying over and making corn.
I do! I want to own farmland .. cattle , every thing else.!!
How much of that produces animal feed?
@Kit-Ballou3664 looks like 2.5 million acres produce livestock feed and 22 million acres are for grazing cattle.
You can google those questions.
I don't agree with a lot of the doom and gloom this guy goes on about in his other videos, but this video is spot on. My relatives are all from North Dakota farm land. Without a doubt this is what's going on.
They might turn that land into solar farm like they're doing in ohio
You will soon, trust me
What about me. Can I buy what I need
😮✌🏿✌🏽✌🏻😮🐿🦝Very thought provoking breakdown. Thank you.👍🏼
Great Show
So DISTURBING that there are NO RESTRICTIONS or REGULATIONS to stop the takeover of this land by these types of people And even WORSE that foreign COUNTRIES and folks can buy up large swaths of land
While Blacks folks USED to own % 14 percent of the farm land back in the 1920s and NOW only 1% and even some of those are under attack by residents that don’t want them there !
Yes, I could imagine a scenario where grain and meat were being exported to China while Americans went hungry, even if Americans were willing and able to pay higher prices.
This is what a thoroughly corrupt country looks like.😢
I lived through it in the 1980’s and I remember so many farmers lost everything. So many. The political policies and greedy investors killed the American farmer. The ones that are left now are not like the original ones. Sad and scary
Same in the uk. James dyson buying up farm land.
Very interesting thanks for that
Farm ownership is part of the financialization of land which includes significant tax benefits but excludes by design farmers who increasingly find they can’t afford land
In 2024, Don't set new year financial goals without consulting a financial adviser. Their expertise ensures a solid plan for success. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
Thanks for the advice! I'm new to financial planning and wasn't sure where to start. Any tips on finding a reliable financial adviser or resources to guide beginners?
I completely understand the impact of the new year on financial decisions-it's transformative. While I've found success in investing, especially with the guidance of my advisor, Annette Christine Conte, I still appreciate the solid foundation i had. This principles align with the core values of financial discipline.
How can I get in touch with your financial consultant
Google Annette Christine Conte and do your own research. She has portfolio management down to a science
Interesting. I am on her site doing my due diligence. She seems proficient. I wrote her an email and scheduled a phone call.
Farmers won't be able to afford the rent. No one will be growing food! Better have a backyard garden.
I hope they believe in organic farming. The food supply is important. Agribusiness is big and programs give subsidies to farms.
Good video
Grass should be taxed.
If people are growing fruits, veggies, dandelions, etc... no tax.
Grass ruins soil and doesn't produce anything.
Also, native grasses that help the soil should not be taxed.
It is wild to me that homeowners can get in trouble for producing food.
I really want to move to a place where I'm allowed to grow produce for myself.
Yes! My wife and I want land to homestead our own food and animals.
Every citizen should have a right to own usable land..without land you have nothing.
@@russ549We have more than enough resources to feed everyone on the planet and there are still people suffering and still billionaires wanting more and more. Artificial scarcity is what keeps us in this mindset. It's criminal how corporations have molded the world. I hope hell is real
Let me know where you want to buy land? I'm all about basic living. I find land and research the deeds to the beginning of time.
Needle Bill getting ready for the future techno-feudal system.
Great info. I inherited farm land in Oklahoma.
Something I haven’t seen discussed is that the real long term play here is that fully autonomous farming is coming down the pipe…. Owning the land is going to be a much better situation when labor is not required and will result in an ability to corner to market
Other countries are now the preferred go to markets for soya beans and wheat for china.
Brazil etc
I have 120 acres of farmland for sale in South Dakota...get it before Bill calls me!
😅😂😂😂
Sold!
Me too 55 acres in Minnehaha cty where acreage just sold for 14,800/acre.
How long are you holding for?
If there is some type of apocalyptic event people will move on and live on the land after things settle, fat chance courts would be around to fuss over much of anything
Pretty much. Look it up during the 30s. They ran some squatters out, but overall there was a major lack of police to do the forcin.
Those of us who have actually grown food know how much abundance you can create with just a small effort. While I do think there are scientific methods for large scale production and "expensive equipment" for efficiency, there is less to creating abundance than you might think. Decent dirt, a few tools, some organizing and some water. People that complain about food costs and then go for food stamps and watch TV all day just floor me, they are sabotaging what could easily become their family abundance.
If you control all food, you control all people !
No, if you control all food then you going to get mugged lol.
If you control what people consume with their eyes then you will control 'some' of the people.
Imagine creating a giant problem then be regarded to as an investment genius because you “see something” risky on the economic horizon.
The reality is they have either priced out the farms (high debt/reliant on gov subsidies) or flash enough useless fiat in-front of them and the family tradition is broken for American suburbia which also creates a “winning” investment for the billionaires buying the farms!
It’s quite amazing.
Saudi Arabia also owns a sizable investment in farmland with a ton of water rights in Western Arizona, aka Colorado River water. Legislation will not stop this process as the foreign nationals will form US entities to hold the real estate with US citizen executive but controlled by the foreign nationals.
I see this all of the time in deed research traced back to private equity firms that we have no idea who they are. Guarantee some money laundering. LLCS paying cash for condos in a declining market that just doesn't make sense and reselling it less than a year later
@@TiagoLennertz scray I know for a fact they hate Americans. 20 years ARMY.
@@NS-yu6yf Exactly. LLC have to file a report of owners now with the IRS at the Federal level annually. LLCs can use registered agents at the state level but the information is now, the requirement is recent, available at the Federal level. As for the money laundering, I would speculate that it is going on but I have no proof. This investment area is not fully understood by most Americans. If they did, they would realize how much of the USA is already foreign-owned/controlled.
I live in a rural community and prices have sky rocketed.
I have seen farmers buy land for 45k per acre for 65 acres because it adjoins their farm.
I have seen horrible farm land that is only 40% farm able to for 25acre for 165 acres because they nieghbor didn't want anyone building.
Low interest rates has caused a massive boom in trades and tradesman in the Midwest I have seen charge $150 an hour. The cost build a house in 2019 was $95 it's now $300 a sqft land has quadrupled and people are making money hand over fist.
I have seen life long educators buy airbnb's and now all have brand new 50k cars including their kids in high school.
All of this has 1 thing in common.... cheap money and the money supply exploding.
It's starting to Crack here, we went from 2 airbnbs in the area in 2019 too about 45. They were booked during covid because everyone from large cities came here to get away from the mandates.
Travel is down 35% yoy and houses are starting to go for sale.
So Bill Gates can sell us insect burgers
But it is a subscription service with updates..:)
😂
Not if no one buys his bug burgers
😂😂😂😂 good one
Soylent Green Burgers, with Lab-Grown CHEESE!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Land is fire proof, earthquake proof, hurricane proof, surproduction proof (nobody knows how to make more), therefore a perfect investment for those who have the cash. The improvement on the land not respecting the same law, therefore the less improvement on it the better the investment, assuming the price is right. What people make, has a short life span. What God made will outlast all.
What about Monette Farms? What can you tell me about them?
I love this guy. Holds polls and sticks to the results, he’ll even do the second place video too because the people wanted it. Can you please train politicians on the will of the people?!
Nick! You are always one step ahead
Actually he’s a couple steps behind. This was being said for a few years now.
Don't forget some of these maneuvers, like owning farmland, create enormous tax breaks for these billionaires.
True. Keep saying it. The common man doesn't know.
Thank you, very informative. Is Blackrock also invested in Farmland? or other moneypools?
the value of farmland used to be low which stopped all this corruption on farms
Stop waiting for the government to give job opportunities which are wasting much of your time when you can invest in digital marketing and live your dream life.
I sympathize with many people who had no knowledge digital marketing because currently dollar is unstable and coin is taking over to be universal currency.
An investment is a plan to put money to work today to obtain a greater amount of money in the future. It is also the primary way people save for major purchases or retirement. With stocks, bonds, real estate, or commodities, individuals can create a diversified portfolio.
Protecting your capital is paramount. Losing your capital makes it much harder to make money, so prioritize preservation over growth. Remember, there are many investment opportunities (trains), but losing your money means missing the entire journey.
However, collaborating with a seasoned financial advisor can empower you to make informed, strategic investment decisions, ultimately enhancing your prospects of realizing your financial aspirations and securing a brighter financial future.
@SteveRegina-ku5yhInteresting! But I'm new here. How can I get to this person's guidelines??
Most of our farmland is used to raise crops, alfalfa etc for other countries, i know, im a truckdriver and i haul alfalfa pallets to long beach harbor, from there it gpes to china and other countries
We need something to trade for all that stuff we get from China and other places.
Along with all the water they used to grow it. Today screwing the American Citizen Tax Paying Homeowners whose wells are drying up. Disgusting
I live in Texas, and yes, there is a bubble in raw land. Land that just four years ago was going for $5-8K an acre (10 acres are more) is now going for $25-35K per acre. I've noticed recently that they've been cutting the prices. They can't sell the land that they were asking $35K a year ago at $23K an acre today.
I'm in North Texas, just west of the DFW metroplex.
I’ve lived in Dallas for years and I believe it’s going to turn into a California spin off. Ridiculous property taxes, inflated housing, low wages, hopefully it stays where it is and doesn’t stretch out further
@@katwmn17 OK is where I would like to move. We are in the process of selling our home. When we do, we will sit on the sidelines and buy back in when the market bottoms. That's the plan, anyway.
@@definitelynotlebronjames443 -Unfortunately, I think you're right. I have too much family here and would move to Oklahoma, northern Arkansas, or southern Missouri.
Wow. Thanks so much for your fascinating and in-depth analyses of trends in farm land ownership. Similar to you, I find consolidation of basic resources needed for life into fewer and fewer hands disturbing. I think farmers and as many foundational businesses as possible need to become worker co-operatives that are democratically run. There are more of us than there are billionaires and if we can come together and work collectively perhaps through local credit unions we can redistribute wealth and democracy since worker cooperatives are more competitive than big corporations.
Add an inheritance tax to farm land. The investors driving up the price of land are financializing the land which is the cause.
