I believe hardwoods in general have come down slightly, but are still pretty high relatively speaking. Should be a great time for a select cut.

That's what I was thinking. Who the hell pays 20k to shoot a deer? Caged or not.

Thanks BJohnson. A couple things I found interesting: *8.9 percent decrease largest decrease since 1986 *Farm income and interest rates will be keys to watch I feel like prices have some more room to drop over the next couple of years. With the Fed recently announcing they don't...

Maybe if the farm was bought in the last 5 years. You have to remember it was less than a decade ago that $1200/acre bought the whole farm including tillable averaged into it. I personally don't see prices going back to $1200, but $1700 yes.
