Copen Grand Pricing

Some people don't believe there is any Desert Land Still Available For FREE.

They are wrong. There are still some available.

Certain restrictions do apply. For example You must be a resident in one of these states where desert land is available ... Arizona, Nevada, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming. No State residency is required in the State of Nevada

The Desert Land Act was passed specifically to encourage the economic development of arid and semi-arid public lands in the Western United States. You may apply for one or more tracts of land totaling no more than 320 acres. Individuals may apply for a desert-land entry to reclaim, irrigate, and cultivate arid and semiarid public lands.

You'd better take note before heading off across the copen grand pricing landscape, most of the suitable lands for agricultural development have already been placed into private ownership. The remaining acres are managed for multiple uses. There is fierce competition among users for these public lands. Along with the problems of finding suitable public land, you can expect to find limited water available for irrigation, and an extremely high cost of development. On top of that, it is extremely difficult to acquire a desert land entry. But, and this is a big but, you can turn the land into very high cash value property. Just for an example, the worthless land I walked over as a child was worth thousands of dollars per acre by the time I was grown. What made the difference? It was mostly natural population expansion and highways coming through.

There are other ways to improve the land.. #1, cash crops that thrive in the desert, like the jojoba bean plant. Then there are plants that should be cash crops like your mesquite beans and cactus pears. Given just a tad of water in dry years mesquite beans are sweet and delicious. In two years out of five, the tree doesn't even need a tad of water. Cactus pears and cactus pads are becoming more acceptable to American palates all the time. #2, Get your land first, then you could be the one that convinces Congress to pipe ocean water back up along the Gila River Bed and create oceanfront property all along the way with dams like the one at Painted Rock. With huge surges of population growth in the States of Utah, Idaho, and Montana Congress could see the wisdom of diverting streams of fresh water down into areas now called arid. The only railroad left in the United States that is making a profit is the Union Pacific. By issuing contracts for trainloads of ice to be delivered to reservoirs in these regions. Where could the ice come from? Tugging icebergs to Washington and Oregon for loading. When you import water into the area in front of the Rocky Mountains Congress will increase the flow of rain and moisture in this area.

Before you can claim any of these lands you must prove they are unreserved, unappropriated, non-mineral, non-timber, AND incapable of producing an agricultural crop without irrigation. There is an addendum to that criteria.. the lands you want must be The lands must be more suitable for agricultural purposes than for any other. Boy, what a tall order. But I've had friends do it and they couldn't be happier. After you find them, these properties must be surveyed. If you get more than one tract of land they must be sufficiently close to each other that the BLM will be forced to believe you can manage the satisfactorily as an economic unit.

To apply for your land you must be a citizen of the United States or at least have declared your intention to become a citizen. Being an illegal alien is not good enough at this time. Oh yes, you must also be more than 20 years old.

The BLM estimates that a 320-acre tract of land will cost you in excess of $250,000 to construct the irrigation system and prepare the land for cultivation. That's because they are thinking too big. The government thinks square fields -- I invite you to think about farming within the natural barriers the land provides. It is said that a tourist looks at the (desert) scene and sees what is left while a geologist sees that scene and studies what is gone.
