Barns full of OLD Stuff!

Adam,
I have a buddy in ND that is the president of the local farmers co-op. They have had to stop outsiders from buying land unless the are going to live on it. They actually got a state law passed. So many big corporations fron NY and Chichago were moving in buying up the land for commercial hunting clubs that it drove the land values up and the state started taxing the farmers to death. So to protect the family farms they had to stop land sales to corporations and groups.

You guys in PA might want to watch the land sales and who is buying what.

Here in FL we are lost already as half the state is owned by Dupont, Brown, GP, IP, etc.

I am sitting here wondering if it is actually legal to not allow people to buy land unless they are going to live on it. I guess it could actually be a county zoning ordinance requiring that all land be the owner's primary residence. Doesn't seem like it would be that hard to get around.

I am thinking about buying some land in Florida for hunting, but that probably will not take place for another 5+ years. I am hoping that the entire US doesn't go the "primary residence" route. Otherwise, all the good farms will be rented by hunt clubs anyway and I still will not have any place to hunt.
