Kevin Pifer, America’s land auctioneer, shares his perspective on foreign ownership of US farmland. The statistics are rather surprising, but as Kevin points out, it’s not the quantity of land owned by foreign investors and entities, it is the location of these parcels of land that they have been purchasing.  Kevin is also joined by Jack Pifer, of Pifer’s Auctioneers.  Jack provides insight into Pifer’s upcoming firearms and ammunition auction, the largest in Pifer’s company history.
