FARMLAND can be purchased at a low rate, because it is zoned Agriculture.
Developers purchase the land at this low price.
The government spends their money, puts in roads and improvements.
The developer then get the land rezoned to residential, some commercial.
And then, sells the land for a GIGANTIC profit, the percentage is staggering.
That is one reason developers and realtors, in some cases, make so much money.
And, the farms are gone, turned in to communities and shopping centers.
How long can this go on ........................?????

Interesting Farm Facts
98% of farms are owned and operated by families, but these farms impact more than just the people working on them.
Farmers have business interactions with many businesses in the community you may not realize.
They work with local feed mills to obtain food for their pigs, accountants to make sure all business transactions are in order, purchase equipment and seed to produce grain, as well as fuel, tires and parts for vehicles and equipment used on the farm, not to mention the building materials for the barns tehmselves.
All these interactions stimulate the local economy and provide jobs as far away as the store in Japan, where the final product may be sold.
