Food prices are skyrocketing all across the globe, and there’s no end in sight. The United Nations says food inflation is currently at 30% a year, and the fast-eroding value of the dollar is causing food prices to appear even higher (in contrast to a weakening currency). As the dollar drops in value due to runaway money printing at the Federal Reserve, the cost to import foods from other nations looks to double in just the next two years — and possibly every two years thereafter.
That’s probably why investors around the globe are flocking to farmland as the new growth industry. “Investors are pouring into farmland in the U.S. and parts of Europe, Latin America and Africa as global food prices soar,” reports Bloomberg magazine (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-…). “A fund controlled by George Soros, the billionaire hedge-fund manager, owns 23.4 percent of South American farmland venture Adecoagro SA.”
Jim Rogers is also quoted in the same story, saying, “I have frequently told people that one of the best investments in the world will be farmland.”
That’s because demand for food is accelerating even as radical climate changes, a loss of fossil water supplies, and the failure of genetically engineered crops is actually reducing food yields around the globe. Ceres Partners, which invests in farmland, has produced astonishing 16 percent annual returns since its launch in 2008. And this is during a depressed economy when most other industries are showing losses.
Why growing and storing your own food can be a goldmine
All this means we can count on three things happening in the years ahead:
Prediction #1) Food supplies will become more scarce.
Prediction #2) Food prices will double over the next 2-3 years, and then probably double again in another 2-3 years.
Prediction #3) When food prices are 400% of today’s levels, backyard farming or gardening pays off big in terms of real dollar savings.
In other words, as food prices skyrocket, it becomes increasingly more financially viable to grow your own food (or store it now while prices are low). I’m listing some resources below where you can learn more about growing your own food or storing high-density superfoods right now, but in the mean time, I’d like you to start considering the idea of starting your own garden in the spring.
You can’t grow gold. You can’t print your own currency (unless you’re the Fed). But you CAN grow something more valuable than gold and money: Food!

Lessons from post World War II Taiwan and why food is more valuable than gold
I lived in Taiwan for two years, and I’ve had the opportunity to talk with people there who lived through the post World War II recovery. During the war, of course, Taiwan was occupied by the imperialist Japanese empire, and Taiwan existed in a state of military occupation (with perpetual martial law).
After the war ended and the Japanese left, Taiwan bootstrapped its own government into power under Chiang Kai-shek. The old Taiwan currency was immediately printed in large quantities by the Taiwan government leading to a runaway inflation scenario for what is now called the “old Taiwan dollar.” Very quickly, however, the government launched a new currency called the New Taiwan dollar (NT$). By 1949, the old Taiwan dollar was being exchanged for the New Taiwan dollar (NT$) at a ratio of 40,000 to 1. (Yep. You had $40,000 and now it’s worth a buck…).
During those years after WWII, if you wanted to rent an apartment, buy a house or find a place to live, cash was worthless and even GOLD wasn’t considered very useful. The only thing that represented real wealth was FOOD. If you had food, you could trade it for anything: an automobile, a home, tools, clothing or even land. If you didn’t have food, you were bankrupt; regardless of how much cash or gold you had.
A chicken that could lay eggs was worth more than an ounce of gold!
You can’t eat gold, folks. And you can’t eat silver. Everybody has to eat to stay alive, and that means everybody needs a constant stream of food just to keep breathing. That’s why investing in food makes so much sense.
And by “investing in food,” I mean any or all of the following:
• Investing in storable food that you can save on the shelf and keep for future use or barter.
• Investing in your own gardening skills so that you have the know-how to produce food when needed.
• Investing in non-hybrid garden seeds so that you have the genetic blueprints to grow food that can propagate itself generation after generation.
• Investing in farmland — especially farmland with water — that offers the fertility and climate to produce food.
• Investing in educational courses that teach you how to create food through a variety of methods: Wildcrafting, gardening, sprouting and so on.

Food skills are about to become essential for survival
No matter what you do, remember to stay informed about growing your own food. It’s something that’s hugely rewarding right now and about to become hugely profitable in the years ahead as food prices continues to skyrocket.
Remember, folks: You can’t eat gold. So make sure food storage and production becomes part of your overall preparedness strategy, too. Yes, gold and silver are extremely useful and I recommend them, too… but don’t forget to feed yourself. You can starve to death in a house built out of solid gold if you forget to cover food production!

Farmland holds its value. It is “the” investment to make. It offers a variety of “good” things that the land can afford you. You can “grow your own” have a source of good clean unpolluted water and even “wild game”. Depending on the terrain features, it can also become a defensive fortification and depending on the size, it can also offer you escape routes into other areas.
The cities and towns are mostly dependent upon the “system” for a majority of their needs. Produce it shipped from the farms to the cities. Independence from the system can only be obtained from beyond city and town enclosures. Cities and towns are a “trap”.

The trap is being set. Gold is scare but land that can produce food in the near future will also become very very scarce.
The prime reason the NAZI Soros is selling gold so early is that he seeks to short the market and scare people into selling. If you must sell than sell for swiss francs.
Soros may not seek to utilize the land he buys so much as to prevent others from using it.
Control of land, labor, capitol, food, and water= enslavement of the people.
Billionaires like Soros don’t seek $$$. They only want power. If building slave labor camps is more profitable he will do it.

This article is about the purchasing of “farm land”.
So, take your “trinkets” and peddle them elsewhere.
In the event that you want to make some “real cash”, start selling military grade weapons, ammo, cleaning kits, field gear, winter clothing, “musset bags”, BOB’s, survival equipment etc.
Right? Stop boring the hell out of us with your pathetic line of bullshit.

Wind off the lake at 4 with gusts to 11.
Yep. But, hanging on to that land is a test of will power. Inheritance tax and property taxes are the Global Marxist Socialist game changers.
Starting about 100 years ago there were 32 small farmers on our road. Today there are 4.
For the last 40 years I have watched all the ordinary farmers retire and sell their land off because it wasn’t worth anything and there wasn’t any money in farming and the kids couldn’t see working 16 hours a day 7 days a week to be poor the rest of their lives. Meanwhile during this time our business leaders were making certain that the price of gas spiraled while importing food from other countries to bring the cost of our food down.
For the longest time we had ‘cheap food’. But, the first time that gas hit $4.00 a barrel it seemed to trigger a run on food prices which still have yet to come down to index against energy which is artificially high. By that I mean that when gas was $4.00 a gallon, that the barrel prics was $150. Now today gas is $3.51 a gallon indexed agains $84 a barrel??
And literally fleets of oil tankers are parked and not hauling.
The factory farm down the road started out as a small time operator who went bankrupt a couple of times and then sold his soul to Global Agri and now he oversees(but, doesn’t own) 6,000 animal units(cows).
His investors have deep pockets and are always looking for land. His activities have driven the cost of farm land up to $6,000 an acre. Property taxes have increased very nicey.
The difference is that he gets million dollar grants and/or no interest loans which when defaulted on become grants.
We have to pay our property taxes while he gets eveything for free while he runs his every changing illegal alien labor force into the ground.
Then factor in inheritance tax. I mean how many times does my family have to pay for that land?
Farming is another rig job to consolidate power and fix prices.
Try to imagine a young guy trying to buy 100 acres, put up buildings, buy equipment and livestock and fuel and seed and fertilizer and herbicide and energy with practically no money while making $10-$18 an hour at a regular job. And that is if he can find land to buy.
Lately, in our local paper it was reported that the owners of a 100 year farm were assessed $200,000 for road construction for the road that is going past their place. Included in the construction was a nice bike path. The road is a popular short cut for commuters and the owners who oare 70 + years old are going to get stuck with this?
Some readers are clever and claimed that the road project was rigged at double overhead gouge prices and it was an outrageous assessement.
They guessed that the large assessment would force the older couple to sell to some developer who has wanted that property for over a decade.
So, this is a Century farm and the richest people in the world hate it when the slaves own any tangible property.
Owning farmland is a bigger brawl than you would think.
Many times you have to choose between a new car and property taxes and food and gas.
Ok Recon here it comes…………But, the best part of having a farm is that you can shoot whenever you want and you can set up targets both near and far.
With all the debt problems there are some creative ways to grow the economy and add revenue. One way I was thinking is to leverage the US governments land for crops. I am sure there are some opportunities that are being missed out on. We know Japan’s rice, cows, mushrooms are radiated. They are going to need to import lots of food. Soros is a smart guy regardless if I agree with him politically.
At the end of the day we all know that “food wins hands down” over gold and silver but how much do you have to invest and how much time do you have to maintain your investment, is the question ?
Sure stock up on food as much as you can, but if you have little to invest and want something that you can add to whenever you have the money to do so, then Gold and Silver is your best option. Land doesn’t give you that flexibility.
Yet another misleading story out of PP.
Soros sold his gold EFT and not his physical holdings. Soros sold his gold ETFs due to the fact that he believes that in the event of a run on the dollar, the US government would have a much easier time confiscating bullion that’s held in an ETF. He reinvested the proceeds into Freeport-McMoran and Goldcorp, two gold mining companies.

“Yet another misleading story out of PP.”
would you expect anything different from PP? I surly dont, the site and AJ are a joke..hence why I’m here to get a good laugh and maybe try to educate some of the dumb fools that occupy this $hithole.
Having land for growing food is one thing, but you will still need water.
The ways things are going, the right to sunlight will be the next thing to be traded after water. First of all there were plans for CO2 trading. Then the financial news channels have announced that in 20 to 30 year, H2O will be traded on the global market just like oil.
CO2 and H2O form the basic inputs of the photosynthesis equation, along with sunlight. So it only seems logical that it will either be the land that gets the most sunlight or access to the light itself.
By then, we might end up rooftop farms, if not airship farms. The warm air inside a dome would be enough to keep the vehicle aloft.

yeah, and you’re selling it right? lol, making money from selling fear is the only warning people need.
“Why is George Soros selling gold and buying farmland?”
duhhh, common sense would tell you to buy low and sell high. Gold had a good run while land and RE took a beating in many parts of the world, so of course it makes sense to dump gold and buy cheap land.
If you don’t hold it, you don’t own it.
If TSHTF, “titles”, land deeds, papers, won’t mean a thing. I would expect Blackwater to be guarding these farms
It is interesting; watch the elite! They won’t let the house of cards collapse until they are prepared.
When the super rich look like they are ready; Watch out!
