I can find quality stocks that pay more than 4% in dividend yield. They may or may not have more risk than farmland when it comes to losing value in the current market. They also don't require upkeep (like the farmhouse), tenant issues, real estate taxes, etc.
Farmland has had a tremendous run in the past 10 years. There is nothing on the horizon (with the exception of wierd winter weather which could lead to a questionable growing season) to say that run can be sustained.
