Not a bad choice, perhaps not as much as 10 years ago, but still a solid choice.


Do not put ANY in the stock market.

I'm sure that would Include Corn :ohno:

Why the :ohno:??


If one were to invest in any type of farmland, quality corn farmland would be the first place any savvy investor should be looking at first, as it is THE crop in the USA.

USA corn feeds the world........

Dont forget about rice. Rice farmers have become very rich the last 5 years.

Corn: The United States is, by far, the largest producer of corn in the world. Corn is grown on over 400,000 U.S. farms. In 2010, the U.S. produced almost twelve billion bushels of the world’s total 27 billion bushel crop. Corn grown for grain accounts for almost one quarter of the harvested crop acres in this country, with the state of Iowa leading the way.


There are approximently 78 million acres of corn harvested in the USA yearly, compared to about 3 million for rice......

The weight of a million in cash is easily Googled. Basically a bill weighs just over a gram.

The better question is why we have the $100 as our top denomination now ? We used to have $500 and $1,000 bills that circulated as late as the 1960's. A one hundred dollar bill in about 1970 would be roughly 5X the value of today's $100 bill....so we have like a $20 bill compared to a 1970 C-note in buying power.

When was the last time a gas station refused a $100 bill on you ?

I don't think city slickers should buy farmland blindly, FH !

There have to be factors unknown to me ( Layman farmer ) with this, it isn't just buying a stock. I don't know the factors, thus a layman.

I wouldn't suggest a layman invest in actually rare coins ( ie not bullion), I don't think you should suggest "farmland" to all.

Tell us laymen how to choose that farmland. Is it historical bushels per acre, distance to a buyer of crops, irrigation ability in a drought , etc.

I'm sure you pick your land via some factors, something makes that farmland choice, you know it , we don't !

2 years ago I was in PA and filled my car to around $60 and all I had were 100's and the lady refused my money. The manager came out and finally accepted, man I was hot!!!

If it was pay after you pump, what can they say ?

You can't really say no 50's when a tank of gas could be $60-75. it's not 1972 anymore !

If you're buying over $50 worth of gas, then a $100 should work no problem. If you are buying a cup of coffee, then $100 bills aren't cool.

Buying gas is more of a cash thing these days, so $100 bills should be no problem.
