Here's something I've always wondered:

It seems to me that your land costs are one of the biggest obstacles to starting farming. Where I'm at here in IL, farmland goes for about 10 grand an acre. As you go west towards Iowa, and farther from civilization, the land prices get cheaper.

If someone wanted to start out farming, couldn't you go so far out in the middle of nowhere that the real estate prices would be low enough that you could afford the land? As long as you were near a grain elevator, that's all you would need.

Am I way off here?
