Owning land is becoming out of reach for the middle class too. Around me a 40 acre tract is easily 4x more than it was 10 years ago. I don’t know how people can afford it?

And having a couple hundred acres means spending a million or more, on something that might produce a small fraction of that amount in timber. The only way you could get even is if you sell it.
