I sold my land 6 years ago and it has gone up considerably. WHY?
A few years ago I heard rural economists stating that 90% of farmers will never be able to repay their banks
Why the increase in land prices? The only thing I can put it down to is the fact that farmers in the main are manic optimists.
I know that if it isn't drought, it's flood, and then there are pests and then there is disease and hail and fire and low prices and high costs and currency. It seems there was always something that was going to stuff you.
I know we need farmers but do you need the agro? I don't know your age and I know how the rural life is very appealing to many but from my point of view, getting out was the best thing I ever did.
