<<Foreigners keep buying up farm land as a place to put all the dollars they make.>> The case right now is city expansion. Farmer gets bought out to turn his land into a subdivision and he has to either buy new ground or pay a lot of taxes on his windfall.

The Dems are the reason your land is overpriced. Foreigners keep buying up farm land as a place to put all the dollars they make. Overpriced? I don't think so. I'd rather own farmland than gold. We cannot produce enough food to feed 310 million Americans. How are we going to feed 350 million in 2050? It will be hard to enjoy gold when your starving. When we get to the point where bartering becomes common-place, food will be the ultimate bartering material.
