#200 - The Best Lessons In Land That We Learned in 2025: A Year In Review
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals.
On today's episode, we are back in the studio bringing you some of our favorite lessons that we learned throughout the year.
We discuss:
Action beats overthinking—analysis only works if you eventually move forward.
Start with what you can afford and let equity snowball into bigger ground.
Off-farm income is often what makes long-term land ownership sustainable.
Buy land as an investment first—great hunting follows smart purchases.
One well-located big farm can outperform multiple scattered small ones.
Land close to home gets hunted, managed, and enjoyed far more often.
Smaller “feeder farms” can be traded up into a core property over time.
Targeted letters and patience can unlock deals years later.
Your neighbors often matter more than your habitat plan.
Land is an asset—not an identity—sell it if it becomes a burden.
And so much more!
