I was hoping to go check cameras and fill feeders tomorrow. Instead, I'll be pulling them.

I am <2 miles from Red River. In the past, wheat, cotton, corn, oats and rye have all been successfully grown. A spring fed pond, that has never gone dry.

Surrounded by good farmland. Most family owned. Same families for 3-4 generations.

When land comes up, it sells quickly.

I would gladly sell my 150 for 15k an acre.
2nd owner, since land rush. 1st family had for 100 years.

Typically, $1500 or less per acre.
so it's socialist land?

The only land within 6 miles, not family owned and worked, is the 160 acres on the NE corner of the section I am on.
Lawyer (I believe) from Dallas and he leases it to the family east of me and south of him.

Within 14 miles, 3 farms sold in 3 years. All to locals.

I could list with the local land realtor and sell within a month. I didn't buy it to sell.

More taxes that's the ticket......yeah right.
the poster above you is literally talking about land that was GIVEN to them by the government.

there are multiple users *in this thread* all saying they are priced out.

if there are those that CAN pay, why shouldn't they? again, remove the incentive to make money by just having money and the issue is eliminated. obviously people WILL buy, look at how many people are wanting to buy but can't.
i doubt people would just hold money and not spend it. ya know, not like like $30,000,000,000,000 in those offshore accounts.

You and people like you are the problem. You’re the one who is small minded, unprincipled and short sighted. Anyone who sells out to these people are selfish, unpatriotic simpletons.


Again, you’re entitled to your opinion, but I’ll consider the source.

Just because your opinion is yours, that don’t necessarily make it valid.

Again, enjoy your day.

Who voted that legislative body into power?
Citizens of this great state.
Folks got exactly what they voted for.
The milk and the busted glass are all over the floor, standing there with the towel in hand crying isn’t doing a thing.
Maybe I missed it, but was that a talking point in recent years prior to elections? I can answer that question for you if you don't know the answer.

I wouldn’t have a problem restricting land ownership to citizens, but I’m not sure where you draw that line. Citizens of OK? Texans need not apply? Citizens of USA only? Is that Constitutional? Any of it? Seems like a pretty slippery slope for a bunch of Constitution loving, 2nd Amendment supporting gun owners.

Do homes count? How about commercial developments?

I don’t like it anymore than anyone else, but I do not and will not blame the landowners for cashing in. Land is worth, just like everything else in this world, what someone else is willing to pay. Just like ammunition, guns, cars, whiskey etc, etc, etc., with the large exception of “they ain’t making any more dirt”.

If you don’t want non-citizens buying up property, then someone is going to have to pay more for it than the non-citizen is willing to pay.

At some point, when the legislature fixes the pot growing laws in this state, some of that foreigner owned land is going to be back on the market at way less than what those dirty rotten foreign scoundrels paid. The legislature is to blame for the lax pot laws that allowed this to happen. I’m just shocked OK lawmakers screwed the pooch on that. It’s so unlike them to do something like that.

yes, you'd figure those that pay oklahoma state taxes would likely get a leg up. i don't see why not to make that an incentive other than "do u have a briefcase full of cash that may or may not be foreign drug money and/or NGO coyote trafficked money?"
