For years, we've worked the land just as you have. Unfortunately, land development plays a significant role in the surveying profession, and I've witnessed many farms being destroyed in the process. My in-laws are multi-generational farmers, and as they attempted to retire and sell off their land, the developers swooped in. They brought with them grand ideas, but ultimately, they offered nothing but false hopes and misleading promises. At one point, they claimed that my in-laws' 110 acres of land, situated in a highly sought-after school district, was worth only about $700,000. They suggested they would take it off their hands, dismissing the land as garbage. When I got involved, I was able to significantly increase the farm valuation, ultimately tripling the value of their land. I also made sure to confront them directly for the disrespectful comments they made to my family. I truly understand your position.
I've been involved with farms for the last few decades, but I have some bad news: I was born in Philadelphia. Yup, I'm a city slicker, but I can proudly say I've lived on a farm for 20 years and assisted with one for 25 years. During that time, I unloaded hay, harvested peppers, melons, potatoes, and corn. I’ve also contributed to maintenance (I can build anything), participated in tractor parades, and truly understand what a hard day's work means. My experience includes surveying large properties of up to 3,000 acres, and I recognize that the gentleman farmer still plays a vital role in agriculture today. Whether it’s farm valuation or land development, let us get dirty with you!
