"Where should I look?" is the second most asked question on agridwell.com. The answer is geography-bound: the best farmland is within 4 hours of your home city. Anything beyond and you'll visit twice a year — at which point it's a paper asset, not a lifestyle.
Here is the curated list.

The buyers who stick to a 4-hour radius use their farmland 6–9× more in year 1 than those who buy 8 hours away. Use is what makes farmland an asset, not an obligation.
