My estimate of a 3% return from leasing out farmland included property taxes as they stand now (but not income taxes). Increasing confiscatory property taxes would be a risk.

Example using some realistic Indiana based numbers:
Cost: $4500 per acre
Rent: $158 per acre
Property Taxes: $25 per acre
Income: 2.955%

(Gross for the guy farming it would something like 130 bushels of corn produced per acre at $5.00 a bushel or $650 per acre.)

Property Taxes on Classified Forest are almost nothing. The income is hard to predict or generalize so I won't even try. I know someone who bought forest that paid for itself after the first logging done the year he bought it and others that will have to wait 20 years before any hope of a harvest.

Example $15.00 a year in property taxes for 44 acres bought for less than $2000 per acre...
