Final Words
It’s important to know that even though these places offer free land, there are usually some rules that come with it. A lot of the free land can only be used for household purposes. You might not be able to use it for farming or homesteading.
Also, most of these places are in very rural and out-of-the-way places, which can be difficult in some ways.
Before you start your trip, make sure you do a lot of study and fully understand all the terms and conditions of the free land offer. Have fun farming!
