I own land, but I don't farm. no money in it.
You are funny. My neighbor farms around 10,000 acres of beans or corn. 50 plus bushel to the acre for beans. 200 for corn. Look at the market price now. I went up and helped the Dr. my wife works for today and drove past one of his fields. 3 John Deere unisytem with the corn picker head were picking corn. Worth around $500k each. No money in farming. I dare say he'll clear a mil and a half this year. And prices are down. But you know backhoes.

I'll guarantee the bank owns it all. they will give out endless amounts of cash, because the land is the value. they don't make any more land, and it rarely depreciates.

and nobody buys those $500k machines anymore. they either lease, or rent, or just make payments until they retire

He owns it. Sorry. He employs a dozen it so. Most around me are wealthy farmers. I have no idea where you get your info but I live by them and know them.
