Title: Stop corporations from appropriating Iowa land! Post by: Courtz72 on July 15, 2011, 07:41:58 pm http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Down-on-the-Farm-Investors-See-Big-Potential-125662803.html (http://www.kcrg.com/news/local/Down-on-the-Farm-Investors-See-Big-Potential-125662803.html)
This is the worst quote I've read lately regarding local farmers: "At a recent auction of 156 acres in Iowa, the 50 or so farmers who showed up withheld their bids out of respect for a beloved local farmer who had rented the land for two decades and wanted to own it. But his final bid of $1.1 million was topped by a California insurance executive." I'm just from a small town in Iowa, gardening in my back yard, with a farm in the family. I have always remembered Farm Aid, and Mr. Mellencamp's performances (my family took me to his concert in Quad Cities for a surprise 30th birthday celebration). If anyone can figure out what do do about this, he can get the ball rolling! PLEASE help.... from Iowa. |
