I farm 300 acres. I would say 25 percent of the time here that it is somebody that has done well with farming and looking for more ground. The rest of the time it is somebody who has a gimmick going that can not be replicated by others. Example. Mennonite who just cashed out of Lancaster, PA 50 acres or more at about 250000 dollars per acre or more. Got two of those going here now and they are bidding 30 to 50 dollars per acre more on rent than average on anything that is not below water. One bought the crown jewel farm of the township and has alot of people sore about it. I understand it is an interesting time at the Mennonite meeting house on Sunday with the guys who cashed out for 5000 an acre in the 1970's early 1980's being pretty envious of the newcomers. Also, you see guys that are highly suspected of having illicit money funding their operations. And lastly there are guys who inherited a lot of money so they have more muscle to flex than they did before. In the scheme of things I wonder how viable I will be in the future as it is getting near impossible to compete with these guys. Big problem I see with my operation is the soil is just not good enough to make an enterprise such as vegetable possible. You had to go and get my blood boiling early on a Friday LOL.
