[AT] Gas Prices

[Dean VP]

John:

I was told last week that raw farm land in NW IA, in the area I was born and
raised in, is selling for $4500 an acre.  Would someone please explain to me
how that pencils out? It does not compute even if the purchaser has lower
cost land to go along with it. Sounds like the 80's to me.

Troy & others. When you figure the cost of fuel, fertlizer (over $500 per 
ton), seed, wear & tear on the equipment, time, and all the other cost, we 
will make more $$$ by NOT planting this year!!!
Let "them" eat their oil!  MANY farms around her are starting to grow 
houses. Don't know where it's going to end but I don't think it's going to 
be pretty!!! I also think that most of us have lived in "the best of times".

Good Luck to All.  John Grant
