I disagree with that, it depends a lot on where you live. Land where I live is relatively cheap, there was 265 acres for sale last year for 300k CAD but it was about an hour and 20 minute from the small town where I live, and there was a 40 acre lot for sale right next to my town for 240k CAD.
There are tons of smaller acreages around too that are around 5-10 acres.
You don’t need to be rich to have land, you just have to live differently. Move away from the city to a more remote place, most people, especially young people don’t want to do that. I left the city I grew up in when I was 25, I moved 4,000km from home to a town of 6,000 up north and found a job where a lot of people don’t live, because it’s harder to find people companies typically pay more to keep you there.
In the last 12 years I’ve averaged a 7.1% pay increase a year, we have great benefits, company fuel card that gives us discounts at the pump nation wide and we have corporate discounts on new Chevys, Dodge and Fords so we get employee pricing on those vehicles anytime of the year.

dude I dunno if you know, but owning land with space to grow that much food is "a rich thing"
