The Interior Department’s Bureau of Land Management warns there is vast public land but little suitable for farming. Alaska holds most of the land, and the cost to establish a 160-acre homestead can reach 40,000 to 60,000 dollars. The BLM promotes preservation and urges buyers to use state land auctions or real estate agents, while discouraging rapid homesteading.
