How to Find and Finance a Farm

Ah, the things one can find when not even looking...

While idly perusing Google News I came across an article entitled "How to Find and Finance a Farm" on the Mother Earth News website. Bonanza, I thought. I eagerly follow the link and start reading.

Then I see the line, "this settlement is to be made early in 1971," and I start wondering. Later I see "Land values are skyrocketing around Cleveland, for instance, yet—a few weeks ago—I saw a good 31-acre farm for $11,000 . . ." and I know something is amiss. Then I see the publish date, November/December 1970.

And, according to Google News, it was posted only three hours ago! Ah, the wonderful world of of technology. Without this little bug, or what have you, I would not have seen this article, I would have been unable to include a link here. So, here you go: How to Find and Finance a Farm.

It may indeed be old, but it seems to me there is some pretty good information there. Enjoy!
