[QUOTE="Goodlife, post: 870376, member: 17226"] I understand your math and I think I understand your motivation Gary. Cleared land where I am is going for $9500 per acre. I would like to purchase 10 acres next to mine listed at $95k with 8 of it in soybeans right now. 2 ac. are unusable. I could probably add 5-6 head by adding that additional pasture. One day I am thinking no way, I could never break even much less profit. Yet something draws me to wanting that land and having the additional pasture. Probably consumerism and the urge to own more. Thought I might offer $70k which is still crazy as far as making a profit. But if I exclude that cost it would be a nice addition to my 25 Ac. I try to justify it by saying when prices recover it might be worh $100k?? But in reality I probably wouldn't sell it then so it becomes something for my kids to have to sell you know when. [/QUOTE]
