They Laughed When He Bought 40 Acres of “Dead Land” for $185 — What Happened Next Shocked Everyone
In 1981, as farmers across Buchanan County, Iowa rushed to borrow money for $3,200-an-acre land and shiny new John Deeres, one quiet man did the opposite.

He paid just $185 an acre — in cash — for 40 acres everyone had already written off as “Dead Ground.”

Neighbors laughed.
The local dealer joked it was like buying a coffin and calling it a home.
Experts said nothing would ever grow there again.

But while others chased expansion, he focused on the soil.

Seven years later, the same land they mocked was producing better yields than the richest ground in the county.

This is a story about patience, discipline, and believing in what others can’t see — a true 1980s farm story from rural Iowa that proves sometimes the quietest decisions change everything.
