I solved a puzzle today.

Today was a good day in the Spock Appraisal world. I love the puzzle-solving aspect of the job and today-I solved a puzzle.
We get really odd appraisal jobs and this one involved an organic farm.
We are trying to separate out any possible premium that the market may place on organic land.
As you might imagine, these sales are very rare and hard to find.
Anyway, I spoke with somebody today in the area where we are working on this project-He said "I have been appraising in the area 40 years and I do not know any organic sales." He is an extremely knowledgeable real estate individual.
Anyway-lots of other comments like that from others knowledgeable in the area and the wider organic industry.
TODAY-I found two organic land sales within 6 miles on the subject. One is only a year old. The other is from 1999-old, but still useful for background and analysis.
I am a research Genius.<G> Luck had nothing to do with it. Truly, I can absolutely not believe that I got lucky enough to find 2 sales this close. It
Another key part of the appraisal came together today as well-so it was a good day.
