Recently, I spent a few days in an old chateau in the countryside of Normandy, France. There is a tiny town about a mile from the chateau, but otherwise, it is a picture of things pastoral – green meadows… cows cropping grass and taking in the sun… a Jacobin farmhouse… miles of farmland all around… Since I’ve been writing and talking about farmland, I had a deeper appreciation for just how useful such land is. Really, I can think of no better asset to own during any kind of financial crisis…
