That is BS and you know it. I have a green card, was looking into becoming a citizen. The only difference is, you can vote. After Carter gave up the election before California even voted, after I see, how American citizens are abused by politicians vs ILLEGALS. I have every right to spend my hard earned money as I see fit. I bought a ranch. I am putting it into a trust, NEVER to be sold for anything but farming.. my childre contibute to society, bever on welfare, we are a military family, we bring skills and knowledge to the table.I feed people,I farm and ranch. How about supporting farmers/ ranchers instead of making non citizens tgmge boogey man. I am more patriotic than many so called Americans,who are only out for a fast buck.

Thank You, Thank You, you are exactly right. we say it every day. just here in stokes county all you have to do is drive through King, what was once beautiful farm land is now housing developments. when I first saw the title I was like humm? wonder what this is going to be about. But wow you knocked it out of the park. A message like this needs to be said because my goodness if North Carolina continues to do what its doing there really isn't going to be any farmland left. while its nice that we have a really good economy here in NC it comes with a cost. And its very sad to see all these old family farms just get sold off like they never meant a thing. I personally don't see how someone could sell grandpas farm to a developer and keep a clean conscious but I'm starting to think we're a dying breed

[@michaeldyer344]

In my neck of the woods, SE Michigan, our farmland is being gobbled up by "clean energy". Locally, we the people, are trying to fight off these huge solar companies that are coming in making deals the landowners can't refuse. Many cases of conflicts of interest with landowners that have a connection to, or are in local governments. The solar companies offer them $1500/acre to lease for 20+ years. Thats 15 million dollars for a 500 acre piece of land over the 20 years. But what the uninformed do not know is the environmental impact that it will have for decades to come. Not to mention the property value of all the surrounding properties. Folks, industrial solar farms are not the rainbows and unicorn farts that the skinny jean wearing folks will tell you it is. Pay attention to what your local governments are up to. They are as corrupt as the rest of our governments.

We are in Franklin, adjoining wake and Johnston county with 100 acres of 5 generation family farm. Our land value from county tax dept. Just more than tripled. I don't know how ill keep it and don't really want to. Population on my road is 10x what it was 5 years ago. If I sell we will buy a farm further out. May be no choice. Used to be 18 farms on our road. We are 1 of 2 left.

[@TrueGritAppalachianWays]

That's a very good point, I really didn't think about but that's probably in the plan, make taxes so high you can't afford to keep the land and then you have no choice but to sell to a developer. its a very sad situation.

[@onshouldersofgiants9467]

Yeah. I'd thought about selling because I do not want to hear my neighbors, or have to keep my dog in a fence, or scared to cross the road on the tractor. But now, im really ready to peace out. We already know where we will look for the next farm. There's 1 foodlion in that whole county 😂

[@michaelbelle4702]

I'm afraid that's what government and business will do. Raise taxes on land to where it doesn't pay to farm. Hoping people will sell their land.

[@miraclefarm1927]

See all of our tax value has gone up. You have 100 acres, a farmers dream, a 5 generation family farm. You are who the farmers we are talking about. Why would you buy a farm further out? Why would you farm after making millions and millions for the farm you own now? No farmer can afford what you will ask so it will only go to developers, unless you make it affordable. There is always a choice. Put it in a land trust to protect it, they will pay you. Then if that is not ebough to fill your pockets then sell it. A least then the land will be protected.

[@jamesgundlach6665]

Chuck, Your comments about folks selling agricultural lands to developers, is interesting, but what is more shocking to me is the sale to the Chinese a few years ago of SMITHSFIELD PACKING which processes 26,000 hogs EVERY DAY.

Well made points here. I think there are a few heavy drivers for the farmland disappearing this way: 1. Increase in taxes. 2. Divergence between home pricing and median income. - Probably has to do with going off the gold standard, inflation, and home size. 3. Consumerism. - home sizes have generally increased and people want/expect larger homes and pricing themselves out of more land.

Greg Judy just purchased a 100+ acres from a developer that was destined to have 30 homesites on prime pasture land. Luckily the developer couldn’t get the water as easily as he expected so was willing to sell 👏🤎

[@SofiaChambers]

we're currently looking for land in Washington state to raise livestock on. Nearly every piece of farmland we look is already owned by big finance firms. Most of these parcels are for sale at prices 500-1000% higher than those firms bought the property for only 2-3 years ago. They find farms before they hit the market, buy em up, then turn them into smaller 10-20 acre lots and sell them to people in the cities who end up building Airnbnbs or weekend homes on the land. There really ought to be a law... I hate to say it, but the only way to preserve farmland is to restrict it's use for development. European countries do that. You can't just buy farmland in The netherlands or germany and build a subdivision. It's nearly impossible. They decided a century ago to protect farmland and restrict urban development. That's why you don't see 4000sq ft homes on 5 acre lots in Denmark! If you bring up the very idea of restricting private property rights in the USA, you end up plssling a lot of people off. I honestly don't think Americans, especially boomers, have it in them to support the type of property restrictions necessary to save the land.

[@30dayride67]

Yes, urban sprawl is definitely taking thousands of acres of prime farmland all across the country. It's bad in the Midwest, but even worse in the coastal and southern states. People would be surprised at how much of our land is owned by foreign corporations and citizens. If we were to remove the ability of foreign companies to purchase land here, it would be devastating to our economy (what's left of it anyway). Foreign countries invest a lot into our country in tax revenue and employ a lot of workers. With that said, I do think we need some restrictions on who can buy and limits on how much they can own as well as for what purpose. No foreign company or country should be able to control the majority of any market sector like China does our pork industry for one example. There should be a limit to how much a single foreign company can own and a limit to how much land the companies from a single country combined can own. We used to have laws in place to protect us against both foreign and domestic monopolies, but this globalist movement tricked the population by pushing their "bigger corporations are more efficient which leads to lower prices and allows our companies to compete globally" crap. The key to capitalism is competition because competition forces efficiency which leads to lower prices. Our government started choosing the winners and losers and allowing the big corps to gobble up all their competition and now they can charge whatever they want and produce inferior products and nobody is holding them accountable. Today, it is these huge corporations and the extremely wealthy like Billy G who are buying up the bulk of the agricultural land in the western states. In their climate scam they will remove the land from production in exchange for their carbon credits. Many are even selling off the water rights to the land which is destructive to the land and will prevent it from being used for agriculture in the future. They get to claim they're giving it back to nature to save the planet, but without the natural water cycles it will change the climate for the worst. It is also giving them control of our food production which allows them to force us onto their fake food. The green movement has been hijacked by corporations and globalist freaks who with destroy it to empower and enrich themselves further. But never fear because the globalist have a much more sinister plan for us. By the end of this year, just the gotaways that crossed our southern border will outnumber our active military members by a quarter of a million. No joke. This doesn't include any of the "migrants" that have been processed into the country without any need for proper ID or credentials. These are just those who were seen and evaded our law enforcement. How many weren't seen? Why would anyone skip all the wonderful freebies Biden offers through his welcoming committee at the border? Think about that.

This is not China's fault. The US sells farmland to multiple countries, which makes it difficult for citizens to purchase farmland. They are making it difficult for the new generation to become farmers. Plus, in 2023, at least 81 bills banning Chinese ownership of U.S. land were introduced across 33 states. According to a USDA Farm Service Agency report, of all foreign-owned U.S. land, Canadian investors owned the most at 12.8 million acres. This makes up 31% of all foreign-owned U.S. land. Four other countries held 12.4 million acres combined, or another 31% of foreign-owned land: the Netherlands (12%), Italy (7%), the United Kingdom (6%), and Germany (6%). China holds less than 1%. The remaining 15.6 million acres are split up among around 100 other countries, including India, Saudi Arabia, and Iran.
