Ground comes up once.
The neighbor is retiring. An estate is settling. Forty acres you have rented for eleven years is finally for sale, and the auction is in three weeks.
Land does not wait for a convenient balance sheet. That is the whole difficulty with it.
We would rather talk to you a year early than a week late.
Most farmland purchases are visible long before they happen. You know whose ground borders yours and roughly who is close to getting out. A conversation now means we already understand your operation when the ground actually comes up, and you can move at auction speed instead of application speed.
The farms that get outbid are usually the ones that started the financing conversation after the sign went up.
