"...the smartest thing to do was to buy a good productive farm..."

Those considering that option might want to do it soon:
Corn Farms Replace London Flats, Soho Lofts as Hottest Property

"Farmland from Iowa to Argentina is rising faster in price than apartments in Manhattan and London for the first time in 30 years."
"The returns are attracting hedge funds and investment brokers."
"The rally is helped by a reduction in the number of acres available for planting. About 5 million to 8 million hectares of the world's total of 1.5 billion (3.7 billion acres) of farmland goes fallow each year because of deteriorating quality, according to the Worldwatch Institute in Washington, which does research on food production. Crop land also is lost because of development and lack of irrigation, the institute said."


Hmmmm...the dream farm: Grow corn/wheat/etc while drilling for uranium/gold/silver/oil/gas/etc!
