I deliberately chose marginal land (rocky, steep, requiring hard labor to exploit it

me, and for my kids while they were still home.

A wise decision. I have long advised just that. Such land is low- priced, low-taxed, and of no interest to agribusiness people, developers and politicians. Ideally, such homestead land is surrounded by thousands of acres of equally undesirable land.
