No. Do you care about your doctor's politics? I only care about the the service I receive being the best I can find.

This pawpaw thing is totally new to me. I found the trees a few days ago. I guess probably early March would be a good time to cut scions. I'll read up on it and let you know what I find out.

It is complicated, and it is a huge PITA, and it's not cheap. But a lot of things in life are like that, and we do them anyway. I'm not trying to discourage you, I just want you to be prepared for what you are getting into. Start with some YouTube videos and do some simple math to get a rough...

I'd love some seeds. Would you be able to cut me some scions this winter?

That's my understanding as well. I just can't find much information on grafting pawpaws or good sources of scions.

They can utilize some of the same legal structures. Several states have inheritance tax or estate tax, and inheriting property or assets can have tax implications for his kids. I would consider estate planning part of the same process when structuring assets for tax purposes.

Do they graft easily? There's a bajillion little shoots that popped up everywhere, but most sources say these are root suckers rather than seedlings. Would it make sense to graft some of these?

Awesome. I'll have to get some scions next Spring. Maybe I can convert some Callery pears to apple trees.

Good to know. I have no experience with farm expenses.

I've read what I could find on here, and it seems like it's a good idea to plant some other trees near the grove in order to ensure good pollination down the road. Some sources warn that bare root trees can be difficult to establish. Kansas Forest service has a good price on a bundle of 25...

Partially. The Israelis probably knew about it and neglected to tell US intelligence. The ensuing mayhem in the region nearly led to a peace deal with the Saudis.

Barndog is correct in that you don't need an LLC to write off expenses, but I think you give up your personal deduction if you choose to itemize. You also still have the issue of inheritance, etc. Plus the fact that there are far fewer IRS agents looking into corporations than individuals, so...

It sounds like you need a corporation inside a trust. There's LLC, S corp, and C corp. You will need to pay for professional advice when deciding which one suits your needs best. But it's a good idea to start watching YouTube videos about how the corporations and trusts are structured. You...

We had a shell built on a lake property because we couldn't afford to have the whole finished house built. We finished the main floor so far. Saved ourselves a lot of money that way.

That's what I'm talking about. The Covid stimulus nonsense and the supply/demand issues during the pandemic drove prices through the roof. It was great for me because I sold at the peak. But anyone trying to get into the market now is at a serious disadvantage.
