Do you think ice stopped her?

She wasn't trying to run him over or kill him but she was definitely trying to provoke a reaction. Her wife was out of the vehicle filming. It seems obvious to me they were trying to get a reaction that would go viral. I guess they got it. Is an awful situation but she put herself in it and the...

Well done!

The best crop land is that high. 20,000 isn't unusual, at least some have topped 30,000.

C without question here. Farm ground like that will go well over 20 to even 30 thousand an acre in my county.

I let several people hunt my land for free every year. No chance I would let an outfitter on though. That'd be extremely hypocritical of me.

If we play our cards right, the EBT leech moves to a tent city in LA where they cater to his kind and the landowner moves to Iowa 😁 . You're right, it's not perfect. The best we can do is compromise and hopefully choose the path that is best for the state and preserving rural communities...

There's a video, I'm not sure how to attach it. 6 of them walk by

This is not mine but these were taken locally on private land last night. Looks like a bunch of mouth breathers got together to play army.

Exactly the opposite, keeping it affordable for residents. Chopping it up into small parcels so nr can get a tag would drive the land price through the roof and access through the floor. It's hard to overstate how much attention Iowa has on it. The only thing keeping the average Iowan in the...

We're closing in on common ground but that's way too small 😁 . I don't want to see Iowa chopped up into 100 after tracts.

What size would you say is fair? I've heard an argument for this where I can see the merit . Basically they were asking for an acreage size large enough that would encourage nr landowners to put larger parcels together. I could see that being good for everyone, I wish more large parcels existed.

Deer hunting has brought a lot of high performers to Iowa and kept others here. Most of the well known Iowa hunters are not from here. It's the only reason I haven't moved myself and my business a couple miles across the border into South Dakota with a far more favorable tax structure. I...

What is the hunting like on those public lands now compared to before?

Very few farmers care about the deer herd past the point that they dislike them. That's who is leasing to outfitters. They do care about the land though. Those are two separate issues.
