Description

Twenty-three million acres sounds enormous—but how much is it compared with all U.S. land, farmland, and cropland? I sat down with four key numbers to understand what wealthy land purchases actually mean and whether ordinary buyers still have a realistic chance to own ground. In this video, I break down: • How 23 million acres compares with America’s 2.4 billion total acres • Why farmland and cropland are not the same thing • What rising local land prices reveal—and what they don’t • How doing the arithmetic changed what I spend money on • Which concerns I stopped worrying about once I saw the bigger picture #Farmland #LandInvesting #RealEstate
