Just my opinion but so much of the land pricing and purchasing has been driven by emotion versus logic that one has to be wary when the attitude shifts on that. When the players left are only concerned with a reasonable return versus "got to have it and I don't want the other guy to have it" be prepared for the day when that happens so the emotional and economic impact does not blindside you. Around here for the most part I don't see the guys who have "run the numbers and this is what I think it is worth based on production" buying much of any ground. One of those guys is extremely well heeled financially. The only guys I see buying ground are guys like you that have a very strong non-farm business as a revenue generator. Then there are the Amish and Mennonites who put a half dozen kids to work for several years before they turn 18 to help dad buy things. Sometimes you see a small parcel of land such as 50 acres and that is when you see somebody cash everything in including the kitchen sink to beat the other guy out. I heard of one example when the big FSA payments were coming out that a farmer scraped everything together that he could including an extraordinary FSA payment to make a bid on 50 acres which he did get. It will take probably 70 years to get a return on it if commodities don't flatline but by golly "the other guy did not get that dirty rat....."

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the
