>>>"For $6 million you could buy the entire @Salon media empire, or a midsize farm in Iowa"<<<

>>>"National media headlines you don't see: "Eldon TenBrink set to sell 600 acres to Doug Snitker"<<<


>>>"Actually the blockbuster Salon deal is worth $3 million, or about 250 acres and a used combine"<<<<

>>>have you seen that quarter section? Doug's gonna need to terrace it or get himself a sidehill combine. He lost his dang mind, smdh<<<<

Farmer joke comparing the buyer of Salon to "Doug" who overpaid for a 160 acres of poor land.

>>>"I thought it was a purdy decent price for the TenBrink farm. Oh, you're talking about Salon<<<

I guess you have to be a farmer. The last farmer in my family was my great-grandfather Charlie Brown. He owned something like six sections (in pieces) in northern California.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
