[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 7674934, member: 1008"] Dad started out on his own In The early sixties , bought a run down farm and a couple of comments he heard behind his back were he’s put a millstone around his neck and a fool and his money are easily parted. Seven years later a lot had been done to improve it, it was paid off and he bought another just up the road. Of course at that time government grants were there to help with all the improvements. In the early 80’s they were both sold to buy a farm on the flat for more than 10 times the purchase price, more or less sold in thousands per acre what he paid in hundreds, which puts the land price rises of the last 20 years or so into perspective . Reckon I’ll do well to double the land owned in my lifetime which doesn’t sound great considering dad started with next to nothing [/QUOTE]
