Some friends of mine and I are looking to buy some land to be used
specifically for organic farming. If anyone knows of parcels for sale
that meet the criteria listed below, or of someone who can help us
find the kind of property we are looking for, please reply to
. Many thanks!

Land Criteria:

Locale: Midwest: Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas, Wyoming are desirable,
but will consider others

Acreage: around 350, preferable with a stream or river,
and small pond(s)

Use: Organic farming

Price: negotiable (less than $300/acre)

Zoning: Mixed: agricultural/residential


If you want to make a go of it farming you will need land that costs
more than 300 dollars an acre. You can't make something from nothing
and $300 and acre land is going to have some factor that really limits
production. It may be in a low rain fall area, thin soil or something
else. But it is capable of high producion it will bring a lot more
than $300 and acre.
