Has the title ever been corntested? If so, is there a kernel of truth to the claims? Also, are there any boundary cornflicts? These are important things to cornsider. But if everything checks out, it could be an a-maizing-ing property.
Is there any risk to buying a home on land that was used as cornfields, for decades? Chemicals in the ground, soil, water, etc? Does anyone know how long those chemicals stay in the ground?
