For bitcoin? Trying to understand the relevance to bitcoin or crypto but couldn't find any. If I have agricultural land shouldn't it depend on profiting or not? I mean if I know how to deal with it (which personally I do not, never worked on a farm in my life, never even had flowers as decoration in my house) and I can profit from it by planting and selling the crops, I would probably keep it.


We are talking about creating something out of seeds, you are the backbone of humanities survival, food is the thing we need forever and will always need it forever, the technology to speak to each other has moved like crazy in the past 30 years yet potato is still potato for the past 3000 years. However if you don't know how to work on it, or you can't profit from it, of course selling is a much better idea, but if you have that much land, consider some other stuff with the land before you sell it, a big patch of land could always used better than agriculture for short term gain.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?
Agricultural land? Huh Would be best to keep it and not sell it. Why are you trying to sell it, you’re not making any profit from it? You said is an agricultural land, which means you’re planting some agricultural produce there. You can continue with it and invest more money into it to make it better than it is, and when the time is right you can sell the produce. Imagine how much you can make over the years if you can turn it into a huge Business.

If you sell the land now, that’s it, it’s gone and you might even sell it for a low price due to how things are right now. This year 2020 is really something else, from the covid-19 to the protest and a lot of other BS that’s been happening.

From my perspective is good to value what you have and also put what you have into practice because agricultural land is one of valuable property in terms of industrialization, provided that their is a land which is fertile for agricultural product, what is the need to sell land that will yield millions per annual.
I Will invest with the land plant as many as cereal crops and make fish pond farm,poultry farm and different species of animals and crops.
And make a supply to government when is manured government will notice my product,when I have been well known to government.
I will apply for fertilizer and farm tools in order to have a larger product in my next farming.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

Depend if where the place is located,if this is very far from the city then the value is not that high

There is an opposite opinion. If the area is big and is suitable for building a factory or something like that, then it is good that it is far from the city, because of a pollution and etc. And what matters are - is there a decent road or public transport nearby.
It is your opinion but not mine so i respect yours while i will push mine,i have been into different places as my former work is about basis conversion thats why i can asses locations and know what is advisable in each area.

If I had that kind of land and I dont have resources to keep it in condition, I would have sold it. In our country, if you have land you cant just leave and let the grass and others just grow there for ages. You have to keep it in well condition (not a perfect lawn or something like that, but not like a jungle) or you will get a fine.

actually thats what i said above.

depend on what kind of place are we talking ,But yeah better sell if the place is too far from the city.

I am amazed that majority of people didn't say: Sell your land and hold bitcoin.  Grin

It really depends on your conditions and aims. For example, if you were just holding that land for a long time, then what about to still wait for a while? At least, you can build small house there and it will be another home for you. In such cases, owning of agricultural land is another bonus too, you can plant, cultivate something and always have your own grocery (or cultivate hen, cows and etc). If you have time for this or can make it happen via help from others, for example relatives, then it's a good idea.

But if you have some budget and want another budget to buy, for example apartment or another better and bigger land, then I would sell it, collect money and would wait for a while for prices to come down.

selling agricultural land to buy btc is also a good thing to do , if i have one ill do that move because im still young and im more into bitcoins that on farming/agriculture  .

on btc i am sure that i can manage my investment well than managing a land  . some are even worster because they sell anything they have for btc  but they arent a good example either , we must only sell if the thing is not useful for us anymore .

Agricultural living is not that easy so if you have no love in farming then better sell it and buy house near city because the value is fast growing not like in agricultural lands that the value is moving low before increasing.

As was done by my father in the village that has both farm fields and garden fields. He leases it to other farmers with a production sharing system every harvest period and the harvest has been sold. The aim of the assets of the land used for long-term investment while leased can be used for daily needs. Why per period of harvest so my parents can give direction to the tenant to derivate plants every harvest period to keep the soil fertile. If the tenant follows the directions, then my parents will look for other tenants and if not, my parents will look for farm laborers to plant crops that are different from the previous harvest period.

My parents did not manage their own fields for the purpose of improving the economy of farmers who did not own the fields but also had the awareness that farming also needed knowledge. Traditional farmers rely on the generation of generation experience even though the condition of the ecosystem is changing now, so that experience is no longer relevant.

Maybe after more years your kids will benefits from your land, time will come and the value of particular properties
will rise high, you are lucky to have one from your grandparents.
We prepare their future by having an asset to them, which they can use it for their life. If we use it to another thing that can grow in the future, that will give additional benefits to us and our kids, and who knows, we can help the other people too if we can use that agricultural land with the right. We can't know what will happen in the future, but if we can use it for a good thing, I am sure that it will be back to us.

   I have agricultural land, from my grandparents. My father didn't do anything
there, he gave it to me. Its 40 km from the city, in dying village where houses
and land doesn't worth anything.
   It has fruit trees, different cherries, different nuts, apple's, peaches, pear's. I go
there once or twice per year, when I am passing by, if there's fruit I take some. I don't
plan to sell it, because of very low value, and I don't plan to work there, it's too far
and I have too many obligations. It will stay like that, probably I will give that to my kids
when times come.

You can also use it for your vacation, sometimes leaving in the city is stressful and you need to go somewhere far
from the reality of the world.
Having land like that also gave you the opportunities stay far, once you needed some quite time then it's a good
venue for you to think and relaxed.



Maybe after more years your kids will benefits from your land, time will come and the value of particular properties

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

HOLD!

If you can hold it for 2+ years then it should do pretty well. If other industries fail then you still have something for yourself providing you have the money to use it (if that's your intention).

Now probably isn't a good time to sell and it'll probably be best to sell when the markets are back to being booming and have been for a while...

I’ll agree with @jackg suggestions as this is not a good time to sell your land, and even if you do try to sell it now then people will only try to buy it at a cheaper price, and you’ll loose out on making a good income from your land sale. Further I feel that you should hodl this land for at least 3 - 5 years as the current global economic conditions are bad, and you should only consider selling your land in the short term if you’re getting a surreal profitable deal otherwise don’t bother selling for now.

Yeah I agree too, holding out it for several years will do me good, for sure.

If there's no compelling reason for me to sell it specially in this kind of messed up times, then holding out was the only choice I need to stick with. I'm afraid that I might failed like what my relatives did back then. As they are the one who supposed making a fortune from it. Rushing things would just lead to shallow decisions. So yeah, there will be no selling, till I get a plausible reason to put such land on sale.

Hold it, why you have to sell if it's not necessary. You can plant trees and vegetables there, There's alot of opportunities there if you learn how to manage it., or develop it then make it as a tourist spot if possible in the location. If you don't need emergency money hold it as long time as you can because the value of land decreases.

HOLD while you can!

I do have some agricultural lands which is divided in parts where theres coconut tress and a ricefield which basically generate out income but of course you would need to invest specially on ricefield.
You can utilize the land while its still in your own hands and if the time comes that you had stopped planting and then consider on selling it out then its unlikely for land property to decrease its value
after all the years.If you can still hold then it would be better but if there are instances or circumstances that you would need to sell just because for some emergencies then you can sell it of .

Well it depends on the condition i’m in. If i don’t really need money, i won’t sell it. Because price of land hardly depreciate but if i need money urgently maybe for another investment that will yield very big profit and fast, i will sell it and maybe buy it later.

It depends on what country you're in. In some places agriculture is so warped by government policies that valuations have zero relation to actual reality. Farmers are paid to let the land do nothing. Any time something's use and value is dictated by a policy means that value can radically change if that policy changes.

Round my way I see farms with effectively useless land, the only thing you can do with it is let sheep walk up and down it, sell for millions. If I owned that I'd get rid. I don't see where the future is without subsidies of some sort.

Build a small house there and you'll have a serene spot to spend hot summer weekends surrounded by the smell of flowers and eating ripe fruits.

I'd really like to have a place like that and the cost of building a wooden cabin is really low.

My opinion about selling any land is plain and simple. If it's so far away that you can't visit it even once a year and can't rent it out you should sell it.

In my opinion you should definetley keep the land and it would be the best if you could use it in the meantime. Having a ranch or something like that. I think that being self sufficient in terms of meat and vegetable can have big value in the future. And it is already nice if you can produce some eco food yourself.
But if the location is too far for something like that you can still cut and sell some forest if you have it.

Actually, many are realizing now the benefits of having your own land especially in this pandemic situation. As you will see in most YT videos during this pandemic, there are a lot of vloggers who posted about their gardening, farm to table recipes and other videos showing how to be self-sufficient utilizing your own garden, whether small or big. Indeed, having your own land will give you so much benefits that most of us are taking it for granted.

I think those who have never been involved in agriculture talk literally nonsense when they talk about some value that such a land has, because the land itself is not worth much, and working 12 hours a day of hard physical work is not something that belongs to the ideal occupations. Personally, I know people who own agricultural land, but do not produce anything on it, it is simply easier for them to buy than to produce.

Hihi, people think agricultural land is the same everywhere you have land that somethings grows on it will increase in value because...not!

Coming from a family of farmers, you have a lot of variables that influence what the value of the land is.
There is no such thing as "price of agricultural" land like gold price.
It matters a lot what kind of soil you have and where is that located.
You have dark rich in humus black soil in Europe, yeah that's one good plot of land, is it land with sand mixed in it and far from water or rich in clay? Good luck finding a buyer!

And the problems don't stop here, with a lower quality soil than your neighbor farmer you will always be at a disadvantage, he gets 10 tons per ha, you get 9, that 10% in revenue when the cost is 80% is the difference between bankruptcy and survival in agriculture.
It also depends on how rare is the thing you can grow on your soil compared to the country and how much can you compete with imports.
So no, not just any land will increase in value automatically.

In this crisis due to the pandemic, there is instability in prices and agricultural land is of great value because the pandemic is showing us a great shortage of food.

Nope, it's the opposite!

Agri sector is always best solution if you have nothing to do. But is it also a good profession if you can take it. So you have options to choose. Basically, people are more interested to do industry but agriculture sector is also a good sector to do anyone's best career. So if you have and don't use it now, just hold it. It can be used later

One of the best answers is to hold because this is a good thing that you have an asset to save also today we have a pandemic crisis which is not a good thing because some of the markets also included the real state and the land like you said you have an agriculture land it is one of the most essential things even it takes time to hold still this is an asset you can sell it and can double your money immediately.

Also, today is not the time sell because of the things we are experienced and some people do not have enough money to buy this only investors will grab this opportunity to make more money. Still like what I've said most of the people today do not have money if you think you cannot survive this time because you are having a shortage of money why not because it is better to live than suffering and getting hungry.

I have some land and I keep it. It was bought by my father albout 15 years ago because it was dirt cheap and his idea was to buy small pieces of land all around and hold it just in case there's a large project and they need to buy you out, or they find natural gas in the area (common in this region). A small piece of land costs you maybe €20 a year and its value can go up by 200% if it happens to be in the way of a large apartment complex, a store, a street, or anything of that sort. 

Also, one of the best things if you have land is to rent to other people at the same time you have a passive income which is good to make more money. If you want to earn more buy a lot of things you need like land but still the price going dump today because of this outbreak and a good opportunity to earn it.

Of course, I won't sell that land because it's a great asset to have. Besides its value that does not depreciate, like what they said, agricultural land is very important especially for those farmers who depend their lives on it. Not only because of the pandemic but even without it, I won't even think of selling it because I can gain more income from it.

Its value will even increase in the coming years so you will gain more profit if you'll sell it in the future. And even without selling it yet, you can still earn income from it because of the products and crops it produces. Since it produces an essential product, it will always be in demand in the market and you can even earn more, than selling the land immediately, and at the same time, you are helping hundreds of farmers to make a living.

It is really tempting to sell any of our properties because of this pandemic, I even sold my old air jordan for $140 just to keep my bitcoin stacked in my wallet since I've been having hard time getting money from my job, and the relief provided by our government was not that sustainable enough for a long period of quarantine. But for a agricultural land or real estate property to be sold these days? You'll just regret in the future since that kind of asset is appreciating unlike any other, I myself consider it as a safe asset. However if you got nothing on you now, and that's the only thing you hold on don't bother to sell.

If you have agricultural land that you do not intend to cultivate, and you have a need for money, why keep such land? If, on the other hand, you do not want to cultivate that land, and still want to keep it, you can rent it to whoever needs it, remain the owner and generate income.

You can start farming right now for it might just save you from hunger is the recession will take more than a decade to rebuild the economy back to its former glory. Its agricultural lands that are more needed in times like this because you can produce your own food. Hold it!  Rich people are eyeing to buying more farmlands, you are lucky to have one.



Agricultural property are like gold, its value can increase as time passes by. You can use this asset for you to grow your money, to fulfill your financial needs. You can use it to your business by planting some goods that you can sell to other people. This agricultural land can be a source of your food and money when you take care of it.

That's true that there are people who are looking for an agricultural land that is for sale. As you can get benefit from your agricultural land, never sell it during times like this that you can plant a lot of things for you to sustain your needs. This will become your stepping stone towards huge profit once you sell it in the right time.

But as long as you are stable enough, and have money to spend for your basic needs, never sell.

The best way would be to lend it to someone who can use that land. There are many people who lend their agricultural lands to others on a fixed price per year and benefit off from it, as to the owner the land is of no use and would remain there barren for eternity, but a farmer can cultivate crops on it and then pay you money too for your land and also your land will be increasing in value if you sell it in the future after the end of this pandemic or 10 to 20 years from now. So this works the best for my family, as we also have agricultural land in our hometown.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?
You can live without anything but food is indeed for your life, so there will be a time comes when food will have value like gold or other expensive assets that time you or you next generation can be a millionaire even with small land. So hold it and find a job to feed yourself for now.

That's right, if it is not that necessary, don't sell it. There are a lot of things that you can make money with, trading, investment, and businesses that you should learn and do. Agricultural property should not be rushed to sell because its value can be preserved and increases over time.

As infrastructures are really increasing, the agricultural land decreases, that's why in the future, the demand about agricultural lands will increase and so its price. We know that it is too long for that to happen but owning an agricultural property is really like owning a gold. Be wise about your decisions and think critically about it.

I will plant agricultural land with various kinds of vegetables, such as rice, corn, cassava, onions, and so on.
Which finally we can sell agricultural products and can provide profits. So if you have agricultural land and sell it,
it means you have no business instinct.

I'm mixed, let me explain:

Hold
Without using it? It's a capital sleeping that doesn't produce anything (revenues), whatever it's in the long or short term. Capital that can also lose value

Use it for yourself
Yeah, it may be funny looking at first, you may tell yourself it will save you some money because you won't buy fruits/vegetables.
How many will you save, $100 monthly? It's laughable if we're talking about 1 acre. (You can't grow just anything on just any land...)
There is surely something more profitable to do.

Use it at another scale
In many developed countries, the farming industry is dying, there are so many farmers that don't earn half of what a full-time worker makes.
Thanks to great Europe and its stupid quotas.

Considering the most important point is "money" and there is different things more profitable to do, I don't think I would continue with it, I would prefer to swap for something else (still in the real estate). Perhaps not right now, in 2-4-6 years not a problem, but in this industry you need to think for the long term, 15 years minimum.

I'm personally looking to buy the blood in real estate (if it comes) in the next 1-3 years. Another big wave of COVID-19 and associated economic decline could shock the real estate markets pretty hard. A depression would hit food commodity prices, which would in turn devalue agricultural land.


I'm betting on it too. And it will be a perfect timeline for me but I'm not interested in agricultural land, I prefer to buy an apartment and make money with, borrow money to buy another one, and repeat the story.

I will hold it for some time, and if I don't have an urgent situation, I will still hold it for my kids. Maybe I will have another plan to plant some vegetable plant, and install some equipment that needed. That will give benefits to my family and me, especially in this pandemic, so I don't have to buy the vegetables in the local store.

I would definitely sell it to invest in an area I am more knowledgeable about. Because farmland will only be useful to real farmers, they will be the ones who produce many good results and make a profit in each season. but for me, I don't understand agriculture and farming so I choose to sell it and invest it.

I think I probably would look for someone to rent the land to. This way I could still benefit from the land appreciating in value with time, but at the same time I would receive a steady (hopefully) income stream. I guess that if no one would be available to rent it from me, I'd sell it...

I would not like to sell the agricultural land because that is where even my passion lies. I would like to do the organic farming on the agricultural land and that would be the most satisfying thing for me. So selling is not an option for me and infact would look out for more land in coming time.

Hold it for sure! Because the value of land increses as time goes by. Plus, this is an asset wchich can be used to generate money. Your land can be converted into a vegitation or livestock farm — you can have food and earn money at the same time, right? You can also build a house or dormitory on it and open for rentals. If your land is too big, you can convert it to a cemetery (I'm serious with this one). Voila! Instant passive income Cheesy.

But well, if you really need an urgent money then considering it for selling right now is understandable somehow.

You can start farming right now for it might just save you from hunger is the recession will take more than a decade to rebuild the economy back to its former glory. Its agricultural lands that are more needed in times like this because you can produce your own food. Hold it!  Rich people are eyeing to buying more farmlands, you are lucky to have one.

That is an asset for me because it will not sell it and it is better to hold on until the market recovers from this pandemic, if the agricultural land is very large then I think we can use it because it can become our cultivation to continue planting and exporting to outside or more markets high.

To be sure agricultural land will become more someday and when the market is better then keep it if you have that agricultural land.

Omicron is another FUD
If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?
I will not sell it instead will develop it.  I noticed agriculture is one of those businesses that is not affected by "PANDEMIC", everyone is required to "Stay at Home" but they still need food.. my big brother who lives in the suburbs has agricultural land does not need food assistance from the government when the government in my country provides food assistance, they have enough food supplies even send me and my family a few kilograms of corn (they grow corn) every month..

You are right, if I have agricultural land I will not sell it I will keep it for cultivation If everything is closed due to the virus we can easily solve the financial problem by cultivating vegetables on our land. The best way to deal with this crisis is to grow vegetables We can make money by selling these Most of the people in our country are dependent on agriculture Therefore it is necessary to increase production by keeping it without selling it.
There are two things that you can do, one is to lease the land and two is invest on it via plantibg produce there, selling is not an option when you have a land, unless it becomes part of a government project then you can't do much about that. Leasing your land ensures that your land is functioning and generating cash even if you do not sell it, it should be on interesting location though, on the other hand, planting there is a good thing though you have to learn the basics of agriculture, the profits will be worth it since you are the owner of the land.

That's right! That's one thing that I've realized during this trying time—agriculture is important in our lives. It is really a great investment especially when you have crops in it, and sell it to the market. It'll surely give you lots of profit. Aside from that, you can also save some money because you'll be able to gain vegetables or other crops right in your own land. And you'll be sure that it's organic.

I've attended webinars regarding agriculture and it just shows that having your own land has many advantages. So just like the others, I would hold it now and for the years to come.

Prices of land are appreciating overtime so I don't think that I will sell mine if I have an agricultural land UNLESS I have nothing right now and that is what I only have right now then I have no choice or maybe I will just ask for a loan and not plant something on it. In that way it would be better.

Right now if you have cash, it is better to buy some properties/real estate because people need cash and many would sell their properties at a lower price just to survive.

You can live without anything but food is indeed for your life, so there will be a time comes when food will have value like gold or other expensive assets that time you or you next generation can be a millionaire even with small land. So hold it and find a job to feed yourself for now.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it?

It's difficult to speak generally since the answer should differ by market, but I lean towards holding.

I'm personally looking to buy the blood in real estate (if it comes) in the next 1-3 years. Another big wave of COVID-19 and associated economic decline could shock the real estate markets pretty hard. A depression would hit food commodity prices, which would in turn devalue agricultural land.

However, I think the pandemic is increasing interest in suburban and rural real estate even as it drives down demand for urban and commercial real estate, so even if there is a major decline in the market, the losses may be rather unevenly spread and may fall in your favor. A lot of millennials want out of the city (things had been moving that direction even before COVID-19), which could really soften the blow in non-urban markets.

The problems with selling now to reinvest in a couple years: for one thing, the depression some are expecting may not come and the market may not dip that hard. Secondly the imbalance I mentioned (combined with the illiquidity of real estate) could mean you'll still end up re-buying higher on an otherwise equal parcel. Markets are fickle things.

I live in a place where almost everyone owns at least some land. But oftentimes a landowner's property size is so small that it's not worth farming.
A set of government restrictions and standards has also made it so that farming for profit is oftentimes prohibitive due to a barrier of entry that's too high.

Due to the aforementioned issues, most people sign a lease agreement for their fields to be used by someone with a farming license and equipment. You get some small income on top of the farmer's profit's if the year is good. But actually most of the farming economy in EU is driven by the state. Owners are incentivized to keep their olive trees trees with subsidies for example because EU wants to keep its farming self-sustained. So people in working class never go after the most profitable forms of farming.

Unfortunately we just sold our land because my father need some money and since we can't manage it, we his siblings have agreed with it.
I believe that the land value will just appreciate overtime, it's given and in fact it's a good investment but personally I am not into agriculture so if I can sell that to raise a capital to invest in other business, the probably I would sell it. Acquiring a land to hold is good but you need to ensure that you won't touch your capital that you are using to provide you some consistent profit since you can't easily dispose land when you need money, unlike bitcoin where you can just sell right away anytime you need it.

Now is not the time to sell, much less agricultural land. If it's for an emergency, it would probably be worth it. In this crisis due to the pandemic, there is instability in prices and agricultural land is of great value because the pandemic is showing us a great shortage of food. Therefore, we must make ready to have agricultural land produced to raise the economy.

Not only agricultural land; I wouldn't be selling any kind of real estate right now, especially with the world as crazy as it is at the moment.  IMO now is the time to be land-rich even if you're cash-poor.  But as is usually the case with me personally, I don't have enough dough to buy any land and that's never been my thing anyway.  If I did have some serious extra cash to invest in something, I would likely change my tune and buy a house with acreage (assuming the real estate market isn't inflated, and I plead ignorance on that).

If nothing else, when you own property you've got a place to escape to when SHTF and it obviously would make it much easier to isolate yourself and your family if need be.  Bitcoin is great, but it isn't as if you can mold it into a house--and the same thing goes for stocks, gold, and anything else that isn't real estate.

If you have agricultural land would you sell it or hold it ?

Yes, I have an agricultural land I acquire like 9 years ago and I'm not going to sell it even it we are in a pandemic or not. Too valuable and it is a great investment, and I made money out of it, harvesting twice a year, and in turn help a lot of farmers in our province. And usually here, this is a very old and traditional way of giving it as an inheritance for your children and the next generations to come. So it will be a big loss on your end of you sell it. You can also be self-sufficient and can generate different crops. So there's a lot of positive if you have this kind of land.

The question of the OP really suits this pandemic situation.
And I guess, most of us will say that we will hold it as long as we can.
This crisis made us realize the importance of having your own land.
As Baofeng said, you can be self-sufficient just by planting crops.
You don't have to buy it anymore in the market and you can sell the excess, so generating income as well.
This is actually a good investment that you can pass on to your kids.

Hello
Considering how important agriculture is right now in the time of Corona Virus , I would for sure hold it and grow vegetables and other important things in there , till we are out of this Pandemic.
Situation is really dire and I understand that sometimes people do need money , so selling a plot seems good .
But during the Pandemic the price of the property have fallen , at least where I live , therefore I would suggest you guys to hold it up for couple more years because right now would be in a big loss .
Just be careful and don't make any rash decisions. It is all about Patience things will go back to normal , if not normal - normal , it would be a new normal .

I agree with the others as well, it is better to hold it, just think about it if things go back to normal and the price of land begins to go up again then you could sell that land in the future for a good profit, but if things get worse from now on at least you have land where you could grow your own food, which is really important if things get really ugly, all in all the only downside to holding that piece of land is that you could suffer an opportunity cost by not using the money from the sale to invest in something like bitcoin.

Land value is appreciating because land will be scarce in the next few century. Its one of the best asset to hold, aside from its rising value no one can steal it from you except for the land title of course. If I have the money now, I will accumulate land to put up a house for my family and will engage to farming and livestock business too.

HOLD!

If you can hold it for 2+ years then it should do pretty well. If other industries fail then you still have something for yourself providing you have the money to use it (if that's your intention).

Now probably isn't a good time to sell and it'll probably be best to sell when the markets are back to being booming and have been for a while...

I’ll agree with @jackg suggestions as this is not a good time to sell your land, and even if you do try to sell it now then people will only try to buy it at a cheaper price, and you’ll loose out on making a good income from your land sale. Further I feel that you should hodl this land for at least 3 - 5 years as the current global economic conditions are bad, and you should only consider selling your land in the short term if you’re getting a surreal profitable deal otherwise don’t bother selling for now.
