My grandfather hobby farmed in retirement to cut food costs in retirement, eat healthier, and the farming activity keeps you fit. He lived to 90 and very mentally active

If Bill Gates hasn't bought it all

Land is everywhere, but water is not. Irrigation is very expensive to install with no water ways.

Grandfather in law bought lots of farm acres in Iowa in the 70s and 80s at $200-400/acre. Similar acres adjacent to his property are selling for $8k-11K/acre for tillable land.

Water, Water, Water... Land without water is worth nothing. Rain patterns are changing dramatically. Getting water rights is hard for irrigation... look at all the dead orchard fields in California. Those people paid alot more for their land than anything in this video. The water authorities cut off their water and they lost everything. Plan, Plan and Plan more

west virginia and southern ohio are both great fertile regions with low cost of living and land.

who cares how cheap the farmland is if you dont have enough water to do anything with it. Here in texas the land is cheap, but you need 10 acres to feed a single cow.

Great video. A helpful addition to this if you make an updated video would be to discuss the ranges of prices per acre in each state. Texas, for example, has a huge difference in the regional zones (panhandle, east (corn, hay, beans), south, central, and the dustbowl of west texas (pecans, cotton, prickly pear). Glad to see you touch on the tax exemption benefit as well, which even applies to fish in ponds from what I understand!

Two reasons people don’t buy farm land in America poor medical or no medical when rural and the other is jobs yea you can try to rely on your work from home job but what if your fired now you live in the middle of nowhere with no opportunities

Texas price per acre that I’ve seen growing up has been about 20, 000 and more in areas you want. In places that can’t even grow grass naturally, yes, prices are low. But who wants to live in a dessert voluntarily that historically couldn’t even support the native population.

Th fed gov controls 640 million acres...Half of that needs to be in a lotetry back to the people.

No such thing as cheap farm land these days..

[ericpowell]

For the Texas prices, that number is low because of all of the worthless land close to the Mexican border. Actual arable land is goes for around $15 to 20 K per acre.

Nothing is cheaper, it is Less expensive!

[johnk]

3 big factors are ignored in this video: political environment, carrying capacity, water. Cheap land can end up being very expensive.

[leticiaurbach]

Kansas has high property taxes though.

Great video! Do one for different countries around the world!! Im from the US but id love a global version of this video!! Thanks!!

[juleswins]

Land prices skyrocketed here in Oklahoma due to the legalization of pot farming and the ease of obtaining permits to grow it. Now, because of so many illegal farms that cropped up, the state has scaled back issuing permits and land prices are starting to drop.
