Obviously OB is not getting the word out enough in the SW corner of the state.

I don't care how much you get for the land, the price is still too high!

No, better to conserve the land by putting a conservation easement on it. Remember conservation is a conservative principle.
It also KEEPS OUT growth which is a good thing

The price needs to be higher to slow down all those California in-migratees. The winter weather also needs to get even colder.

What I meant was the cost to the state. I should have been clearer. The individual may profit but the rest of us won't.

That may be true. Price is generally determined by supply and demand. If you took away the inherent profit motive of selling large amounts of land via a conservation easement, the landowner can actually use creativity to become more agriculturally specialized via niche ag markets or wood products markets. Also, the more land that is put into conservation, the less land becomes available for any kind of development. Therefore, the price increases as desirability of land is higher. That leads to more of a "closed circle" community with less in-migration and out of control development.

More info / projections can be found here:
http://www.census.gov/population/projections/state/9525rank/moprsrel.txt (broken link)
Population Projection Estimates for 2030 [interesting, by counties]
Office of Administration | Missouri Population Projections

I'd be happy too if pop growth would decrease... too many people, too much development, too few resources as it is, IMHO.

I'd give more weight to births. Missouri doesn't have much success in luring new residents. Well, except the southwest portion of the state, which is attractive to some retirees.
