Yeah, this one needs to go away for sure! Everybody will become a farm flipper overnight and we’d all have to take up a new hobby unless we like shooting dinks cause that’s all that will be left.Nr land owner tags if you own 40 or more acres ! https://www.billtrack50.com/billdetail/1780526

What you mean farm flippers overnight? Haven’t you seen what’s already going on? Every parcel south of Des Moines is being chopped up. It’s disgusting watching greed ruin southern Iowa one 40 acre parcel at a time…………Yeah, this one needs to go away for sure!

All of southern iowa!What you mean farm flippers overnight? Haven’t you seen what’s already going on? Every parcel south of Des Moines is being chopped up. It’s disgusting watching greed ruin southern Iowa one 40 acre parcel at a time…………
At least there is cover down there. Up in north 1/4 of the state it gets ugly finding any piece over 40 acres due to farmers have ripped out so much everywhere. I watched 15 acres of trees ripped out last year so they could farm it.All of southern iowa!

Note - I have shared this thought at least once before, perhaps more than that...What you mean farm flippers overnight? Haven’t you seen what’s already going on? Every parcel south of Des Moines is being chopped up. It’s disgusting watching greed ruin southern Iowa one 40 acre parcel at a time…………
Agree and there is no stopping this unfortunately. Supply and demand. Way more people that want a 40 acre recreation parcel that can afford it than people that can afford larger tracts. Segmentation will only get worse in Iowa!Note - I have shared this thought at least once before, perhaps more than that...
I was first confronted with this idea about 20 years ago when I went on a hog hunting trip is extreme southern Texas. The term I learned at that time was "segmentation". This was describing the phenomenon where say a 160 is bought, cut up into four 40's and resold, or "flipped". What was common in S Texas 20'ish years ago is now common here...unfortunately.
I am not sure what can be done to change it, but there are definitely implications for us as hunters...as few deer confine themselves 100% of the time to just 40, or even fewer, acres. Now then, combine smaller hunting parcels with FAR GREATER intel and understanding as it relates to the hunters on these smaller properties and the chances that any given buck does not "take a bullet" before age 5 or 6 is way, way lower.
