“To find a property like the one we’re sitting on right now is pretty challenging. Not just in Colorado, but all over the country,” Jurbala said. “The price of land is incredibly high for young people trying to get into farming.”
I learned about Speedwell Farm & Gardens about a week ago, but I just came across this article that hits on one of the major issues in the Grain Chain. Land.
