By the way, has anyone else considered buying farm land as an investment? I know we have a lot of gold investors here. I'd think farm land would be at least as attractive, if you can get it cheap relative to your annual projected yield minus expenses.
They are making more gold, but no one is making more land. And people got to eat.
Yep, I plan to buy land in Panama, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, and maybe DR a few years from now. Only small plots, 10 acres or less. I won't be doing it for personal profit. I'm going to do it to create self-sustained food areas all over those countries as a model for the world. Govt's like the USA use and will use food to control people and I'm going to start in small countries and try to reverse that by giving them total local control over their food supply.
If every community in the USA had it's own 10 acre local organic food production area, Americans wouldn't be so fat and we wouldn't be easily bullied by the govt. But the USA is a lost cause.
I won't plant in the soil though. I'll use greenhouses and aquaponics. For meat I'll stick with rabbits, chicken, lambs, goats, and pigs.
I'll use these small food areas to implement my "Godfather Plan" that has a domino effect on the area's small businesses. I want small business owners and some form of a credit union to dominate local communities and make them as self-sufficient as possible in food, energy, etc.
I like it Big Nilla.
