Well - I see SOME of the same happening here in SE Nebraska. We are close enough to Kansas City that several places have "popped up" that are owned by "people with money" from KC. Been going on for 30 years. My wife and I currently live on 100 acres of my family's farm.It's been in the family since 1867. We are in the process of cutting it down to 40 acres. The other 60 will be offered to family members (we don't have any kids) first, but if none wants it, then we will have to sell it on the open market. We are doing this because of taxes, fuel costs, and because my disability won't let me take care of the full 100 acres like it needs to be done. The 40 we will keep is a bit more sustainable for me. I doubt I will get more than $1000 - $1200 per acre, though. The BIG-TIME deep pockets haven't hit here yet. We are only 2 1/2 miles from a town of 1800, but expansion is unlikely (downsized the chicken plant and all the mexicans moved on).
