They probably aren’t offering all that much money, current prices aside, property could be worth a lot more. I imagine they are trying to lowball these farmers, and will try to get the government to use eminent domain to get it even cheaper, and as a threat to force them to sell cheap.

Is $33m for 650 acres really lowballing?

Depends on the state. Idaho? No. California? Yeah.

Idk, roughly 50k an acre, seems like a lot when added all up. Property is significantly less here that’s for sure.

If they are offering that it’s probably worth more. Plus though you just don’t want those parasites to be in the area, using all the water, polluting, using all of our data to try to enslave us.
