My land ain't for sale

Someone seems to think I'm the dumbest land owner in Iowa... maybe in the US or possibly the world.

He thought I would accept a cash offer on my land.

(Truthfully, I would if the price was right)

But not at a loss.

Land values have increased since we bought the place. Record breaking land sales, in fact, of well over 10,000/acre. (My moderate CSR rated land is not worth that, I'm not crazy.)

But someone thought I was.

I looked up this guy and he seems like a land speculator, gobbling up land on the cheap stating, "high seller satisfaction."

Maybe gullible, cash-trapped sellers but for me? Hmmpf, I don't think so.

Offering up a price of about half of what it's worth and about a twentieth of what I "might" consider.

I don't really care to be insulted and my squatters, like this doe, don't like it either.

To anyone listening, my land ain't for sale.

    1. The Kentucky Coffeetree that was about 3 ft last time you saw it is now +/-25ft.
      The chestnuts that you gave me are producing chestnuts of their own.
      A pair of catalpa are 16 and 20+ feet.

      I hope you are doing well, my friend.

      Merry Christmas, David, to you and yours!

  3. Hadn't logged into my feed reader in a while and was surprised and pleased to see a new The Stranded Tree Farm post. Hope you and yours are doing well, Joel!

    1. We're doing okay and I invite you to stop by the acreage (summer is best time)
      At the very least, we need to catch up

      I hope you all are doing well, my friend!
