Warren Buffet has been talking about farmland and saying pretty good things about it.

The key takeaway is his noting that 7 dollar corn might be here to stay, and that if the dollar falls, then things priced in the dollar must rise. Of course, farmland has always been a safe and traditional place to invest in times of inflation, but what I think is new is that given increasing global demand for grain, thin supplies and a weakening dollar, farmland could well be the preferred inflation hedge. So now as I've said farmland is the uber bond fund that you could grow food on if you had to; and get your money out of, and get some cash return from. Anybody got a better alternative to that? Hang on to your hats kids, it's going to be a wild ride....
