I am casually looking for a larger piece of land for hunting and habitat improvements. If I found the right piece, that I could make some income off to offset the cost, I'd buy it. So I'm wonderig if anyone is willing to share how they have made income off their property? I'm looking for things that you can do yearly, unlike logging. If you're willing to share what you have done and a general income you get thatd be appreciated too. Any info you share is to help me run the numbers when I look at properties. Some ideas I have are below. Thanks in advance for any input.
CRP - Get paid for CRP plantings. Cost per acre is unknown to me. I am in Wisconsin. Pros and cons?
Rent Ag Land - Western Wisconsin cost per acre?
Tapping Maple Trees - I know a few that do that in my area. People are getting paid 25 cents per gallon for just the sap and with the right piece you can make a lot on a good year.
Selling pumpkins or sweet corn - Some work involved here, but it would kind of be a hobby and hope to make a profit to put back into the land. \
Wetland Mitigation - There is a program in WI to get paid to reestablish wetlands that have been drained. As far as I know it takes a lot of legwork to get approved to do this though and there are costs for construction/seeding etc.
