Today unless ya won the POWEBALL ya couldn't even dream of "Setting" Up Farmers went bust in the 1980s because they speculated that land prices would continue to increase so they bought more land than they should have. They knew they were paying MORE for the land than it could or should produce in farming income but decided to take a risk anyway. And they got burnt. No different than trading on the stock market. Most did not risk so much and are still here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they should have known the property taxes when they bought the land. I wonder if an urban area was getting close to their farm and changing property taxes a LOT? I thought agri zoning usually took care of that, however..... If the property taxes were prohibitively high BECAUSE their land had appreciate soooo much, then I wiil withhold my pity.

It seems like property taxes have been steadily increasing. I think it is more of a social engineering thing. Historically real estate is the most important means to building wealth. The people who control this country want to get rid of that and focus on commerce instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The farmland near my childhood hometown has gone up a LOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
