Is Big Business trying to put ALL Independent Farmers out of Business?

This is just another example of why Big is not always better.

Farmers Want Industry Probe

Media Thinks You Should Buy Land

New York Times – “The real estate market may have cooled, but investor demand may soon be heating up for at least one type of property: land.”

www.Bloomberg.com – “…farmland is having its biggest revival in almost 30 years as demand for corn and soybeans from Asia and the ethanol industry drive commodity prices to record highs. From Iowa to South Dakota to Wyoming, gains in rural land prices have ranged from 78 percent to more than 200 percent.”

www.DailyWealth.com – “Timberland has actually beaten the stock market since 1960 (as far back as data goes). Stocks did extremely well in that time… up nearly 12% a year. But the total return on timberland was even better, at nearly 14%. Another nice thing is timber is completely uncorrelated to the stock market. It makes sense… the trees have never heard of the Nasdaq bubble… and they don’t know what a War on Terror is.”
