I think I would buy a chunk of primarily farm land and lease it out for farming. Plant a house on a wooded portion.

That’s excellent and wise advice, crip. Good farmland will produce a nice cash flow and over time will continue to appreciate, acting as an inflation hedge. There always seems to be alot of farmers willing to cash rent or buy good farmland at irrationally high prices. Besides that, you’ve got a good place to go when the SHTF.

Big farms generally don’t own most of the farmland they work.

I worked on a dairy farm as a youngster. The farm itself was 350 acres but the farmers farmed some 3,500 acres. We would often work in fields 20 and 30 miles away sometimes.

As far as SHTF is concerned, good arable land can be quite valuable when people need food that can’t be shipped in from Mexico.
