For the OP, if it is tillable, 1500-2000 dryland. I have no idea what irrigated will go for. If not tillable, proximity to town, roads, water availability will determine the price.

This. Times 1 billion. Homesteads are a pain in the mother****ing ass. Not only does it FUBAR your square field, but you also have to deal with the neighbors that probably don't know a goddamn thing about Ag. So they'll freak the **** out and threaten to sue if you ding their tomatoes with a little sniff of 2-4D. Get all pissed off if you harvest and blow dust in their yard. And my god, if you stockpile manure within 200 miles of their house, watch the **** out.

It's not just the soil. It is the climate and rainfall pattern.
