Interesting story.
I think it was in 2014, my father in law was talking to me. He said he was bummed out. In the 80s, he scraped together every penny he could scrounge and threw it in a 30 year CD. At 15%!!!
He said he didn't figure he'd ever get that kind of a return on the farm.
Pretty damn smart. I don't know what USDA has average farm return at during that period, but it isn't 15%.
