Random Thoughts
I'm convinced that farmland is going to be one of the best investments of our time. Eventually, of course, food prices will get high enough that the market probably will be flooded with supply through development of new land or technology or both, and the bull market will end. But that's a long ways away yet.

Spot on. I think the biggest investors in farmland will probably be sovereign wealth funds eager to secure food supplies for their rapidly growing populations + the effects of climate change could only amplify the problem.
