Let's hope so. Would be sad to see it get split up into 1,000 different parcels

Yea. Just imagine being able to own that. 800 square miles of your own dirt.

Huh? is that a serious question?

If you have to ask then its way too deep for you to understand.

My family had 5000 acres that got split up and sold about a month ago. One of the most heartbreaking things I've had to go through in my life. The ranch was near Marble Falls in the Texas hill country and had been in the family since 1885. Greedy cousins did us in. The worst part is talking to one of the buyers and hearing that he wants to split it up into 50 acre ranchettes.

It's encouraging to see that Kroenke will be a good steward to the land and keep it intact for the forseeable future.

I know how you feel. My grandpa has land and is currently in hospice care. I was raised on a house living out there and it's going to be eventually split up. My dads siblings have no reason to keep their share and it would be too expensive to buy it all from them. Going to suck

Dances with Wolves comes to mind when He asked to transfer to the Prairie out west to see it before it's all gone. Best answer I can give you.

My grandfather sold his half of 1500 acres last May. Hurt like hell to see it go. Especially since it feels like his BiL took advantage of his dementia. He was fine most days, but some days he couldn't think clearly.

I guess you have to be raised out there, but that is some ugly property. Flat as hell.

Do you work in suburban real estate or something?

I think it makes all of us a little sad to think that one of the remaining wild, wide open places in the world would get chopped up and developed. Obviously it doesn't affect us on a day to day basis. I mean frick it may be all farmland for all I know. But I do like to think there's somewhere in the world that's not overrun by stripmalls and new subdivisions.

That's still 1000, 825 acre ranches. More land than 99 percent of us will ever own.
Its a stretch to say it would be strip malls and subdivisions.

For sure, but 825 still ain't a whole lot in the scheme of agriculture.
