I want to buy land that used to be farmland and now it's horrible land. There's not really any listings anywhere for this, if love feedback and thoughts of you have them!

This is the ONLY thoughtful/ constructive response I've ever received from anyone in this sub, which is why I only posted about buying land and it still turned into a crap shoot.

Yes, I actually click on most things posted here and in the other Ag places. Maybe I don't stick around long enough for the drama, so I'll scroll through some old posts and see.

Funny enough I grew up farming, all my neighbors were as well and we did everything "country" in that aspect.

Your points make sense, but my counter argument is: going right for the pitchforks instead of queries in the spirit of the post keeps farming in a bad spot. It also paves the way for big money to fool people as well. All those big companies out there want the farm money through soil treatment, fertilizer, etc, so Clean Tech already has a HUGE adversary, nearly insurmountable.

Maybe it's time to change that, but it's not going to be by chasing people and companies away, like me, genuinely wanting information so we can help. Which is why I'm still not posting our clean technologies, I'm not here to sell, period. One of those "others" would already be spamming it, yet I'm still refusing even with such a reasonable response as this for that very reason.

Question though, since this reply of yours has been so productive, if I were to pay out of pocket to treat 5 acres of the worst land available here (meaning I make another post, contest type where reddit/ farming submits photo and data and farming decides which one I treat. ) would that be helpful to this sub? Land submitted by one of their own, owned by one of their own, etc, because honestly I've given the links, the studies, the data before and y'all still brought out the pitchforks. The technologies were using is fixing stuff all over the place, as in the second worst superfund site in the US, and a few other large industrial places, but i ACTUALLY cared about farming since that's how I grew up, but this sub is starting to make me hate it, ngl.
