good point REDFORNOW. This is off the subject, I need some suggestions for College Majors in Agriculture...and if you name a major list some jobs that the major qualifies you for.

My 2 cents would be anything to do with enviromental, it is getting where everything you want or need to do is regulated in some way and looks to be getting more so.

If you just have to get an AG degree (nothing wrong with that at all)
Do that and get a minor in business.
Opens alot of doors outside of Ag world and you still have options inside farming also.

funny ya'll said that. my father just told me the same thing...
My advice is to start saving off the top as mentioned but start studying listings in the paper, on the e-net, and talk with Realtors (know your market). Then after you think you got a grasp start looking for "deals"... people in a bind, ect... The more money you have built up obviously the better. When low-balling some one they want to know you have the finances
IF you pay these inflated prices like $3500+/ acre you could be looking at some disagpointment if/ when land values drop in the future,,, which they are/ will. There is a recession coming, it will be global. When? WHo knows...
Now if you pay $2K or less you are sitting good because land is most likely not going to go below that. It will fluctuate some but not totally drop to nothing.
As some one mentioned there is alot of land advertised as these high amounts but it is not necessarily selling at that. They are going for the big bait attracts big fish kind of deal. Start making educated offers, it costs you nothing to offer. IF some one bites great, if not move on. Good deals come when not bought in haste.
These are just kind of numbers out of this area, probably will vary in your area but the point is the same.
