You could buy a house with siding made of corn cobs if you'd like and they'd finance that (assuming the corn cob siding passed code).The issue is that true log cabins tend to significantly limit buyer pools because they are a bit of a niche product so lenders don't want to finance them at all due to the added risk for resale. 

Same problems exist as before, just under a different name... like when high fructose corn syrup "rebranded" itself.The problem is the idea that "everyone should own a home" when in reality not everyone is financially cut out for it or responsible enough. 

Corning, NY

@Heather Rodden pretty much in the middle of corn fields in Illinois, I have friends in Indiana getting pretty much the same for their $$

Have not done it before so need your opinion on this quote I got (in summary: ~1000sq.ft. of new concrete after removal of existing concrete, and ~713sq.ft. of just removal around a tree):Remove concrete over lay in garage 12' x 23'.Remove and replace driveway 29' x 25'.Remove only concrete around tree in back yard 31' x 23'New concrete to be 4" deep with #3 rebar @ 2' centers both directions.New concrete to have fiber mesh reinforcement.Control joints where needed.Non slip broom finish.All debris generated in our scope of removed to dump.Cost $ 11,000.00

And I require a high fiber diet! 

Looks like a boring Corn field in the middle of nowhere. 

Driveways, storm pond , storm sewer, signage, fences, sidewalks, fire hydrants, fire suppression, external water/sewer/electric/fiber hookup,  internal utility runs, soil compaction, epa, flood zone, flood plain, natural water flow off property, hvac, etc.

Also, having agriculture such as corn or rice on the property would dramatically improve the hunting.  

I'm a native Iowan so I understand the desire to move from the great corn state to MN!
