Why should I invest my savings in farmland?

Banks are going down the proverbial toilet, Stocks can't be counted on anymore...who knows what the government is going to do next?  What should you do with your savings before its lost even more value?  

Invest in farmland.  It's safe, it's secure, and farmland is getting more scarce by the day.  If you have a good piece of farmland, it's going to be producing an income with the crops it provides, whether you farm it or someone rents it from you.  Managed well, it's going to produce income enough to pay its taxes, as well as give you a hefty tax deducton on anything you spend on it...including your trips out there to check fences and livestock.  And in a few years if you decide to sell it, there will always be a market.

If you buy a piece of land with water, either a creek or a large pond, and with a good fence, you'll aways be able to rent it out to someone for their horses or cattle.  Put a good barn on it and your land value goes way up.  Now you have a place for the tractor and any animals needing shelter.  And, you can depreciate the barn. 

You'll also have a place to go when city life makes you nuts.  Go to your own farmland, where the smell of good cow manure can bring you back to your senses.

Or you could lease your farmland to someone who loves...
