Guru Rogers Gives an Indication of Where Farm Land Prices are Headed

Below is a link to a recent article from the CNBC website featuring a brief interview with Jim Rogers, a world-renown commodities investor (aka Warren Buffet of commodities) who also was raised, ironically in Demopolis, Alabama.  Rogers is a big advocate of agriculture investments and believes that recessions begin and end with significant changes in the commodities markets and commodities' powerful tool as an long-term investment and inflation hedge.

I love reading his commentaries on the economy because he communicates it in a simple manner and you can see how his views are applicable to our personal economic situations.  If you are a serious commodity or land investor, I highly recommend his commentaries as an authoritative source for making thoughtful land or other agricultural related investment decisions.

His latest interview gives a positive outlook for near term solid farmland investments due to significant agricultural commodity shortages on the horizon.  Look for land prices and rents to escalate further due to these trends and the underlying trend of inflation resulting from the massive expansion in the money supply.  Here is the link.
