    Lost 200 trees in high winds/tornado

    I feel your pain and know what you are going thru. Hurricane Laura blew down from 30-50% of the trees across my farm. After decades of careful timber mgt. it was heartbreaking. For the first couple yrs. it was a briar jungle very ugly and as briars got higher pretty much worthless habitat. Now...

    Pear Tree Fire Blight

    I've bought lots of every kind of pear tree that grows in the south many advertised as blight free. None of them have been blight free. had a landscape architect over the other day and asked him if he was aware of any blight free pears...No. The occasional tree seems to avoid it but the same...

    Farm and Ranch life

    I liked having the cows on the farm and they definitely made a positive impact. One thing I learned was it is hard to have pasture equally valuable for both cows and deer. I had been moving to dedicating fields specifically for cows and fields dedicated to deer. I am now converting them all back...

    Imagine selling this

    It's a bit more nuanced . He is parking money in real estate ultimately for his children. has put together a block of couple hundred thousand acres. Bought mine from reputation without ever seeing it. I do whatever I want with it for as long as I want with his knowing it will be in better shape...

    Politics-I'm out

    Bill, DO NOT CANCEL THE MEME THREAD ! Please !! Even if it could be construed as political . I don't look at any of the other political threads. Not why I come here. But the meme thread is a highlight and blessings to all the irreverent political posters that brighten my day.

    Imagine selling this

    I can tell you the dynamics at play for me. I just finished selling all 25,000 acres of my Mexico property. I'm 70 and there is no way anyone in my family could manage or afford or understand what it takes to own such a property. So looking forward I was needing an exit strategy. Over time I...

    How isolated is too isolated

    Just an FYI. Farmers on Delta Plantation { adjacent to Honey Brake } are in a bind this yr cause its too wet to plant corn and the input prices to grow soybeans cost more than the price they are getting for the beans. Several will go bankrupt this yr. unable to cover their equipment debt. An...

    How isolated is too isolated

    Just catching up on this. Kinda all boils down to where it is. As you know some areas have a different mind set than others. 60 acres is small and while it could be great I suspect it would be occasional and random. Not something you could hunt all the time. Bet it could be strong for ducks...
