All I can say is I am so happy to own a piece of land, probably couldn't afford in now!! There is a piece of land a few miles from me that is posted at 6,800 per acre and probably 50-60% is swamp. Its not even huntable swamp, it is just a low lying 20 acres wetland in the middle of farm fields.

I had a bad experience with a realtor when I walked a property once. I called and asked the selling realtor to walk it. He said yes I could walk it and he wanted to meet me out there. I wanted to make an offer a couple days later and wanted to have my usual realtor to represent me to close the...

Turkish, we use CC for the cash back. What programs/apps are you using for the budgeting aspect? Is it through your CC company? Are the investments set up through the CC company automatically or are you manually moving that cash back money to another investment account? I'd love to hear more...

This year I am adding a second orchard in a new location with some trees I grafted last year. These are in different areas on my property so they provide attraction near different travel patterns.

That'd be much appreciated. I am in WI. Dunn County (west central WI)

Is this something the accountant needs to set up now, prior to harvest? Or something that can be completed at Tax time next year, as long as I have the timber cruise/appaisal completed now?

I will be cutting my land this year, signed a contract recently. Has anyone here had experience with determining a timber basis to limit the amount of taxes paid on a timber harvest? I was originally interested in doing this, but don't understand the process completely. I know I need a timber...

My property will have its first timber harvest this year. I am planning to have them cut some areas harder than others to help promote brush/cover growth. If they are still working on your property maybe you could see if they are willing to harvest some additional trees in strategic areas to...

pretty cool experiences you have at your property. I wonder if that spot had the right wind or thermals for them to want to stop and scent the area or what they were doing? Interesting for sure. I shouldn’t say you can’t do it without history/experience. I think many have done it. I guess I...

I don’t know how you truly know the land will reliably produce big bucks without some history in the area..a property can check all the boxes from an initial evaluation but when it comes down to it you don’t know what it will produce. A few bad neighbors in the area can ruin it anywhere. You...

Are deer bedded in areas where they are able to watch your entrance to the stand in the afternoon?

I work for an engineering company and design municipal water systems. When we are siting a well, we sometimes use this lab for a broad check of water quality parameters. There are a number of others required for a municipal well/water supply, but this is a reasonable price option for checking...

The value of a 100 camera to get pictures of a couple good bucks before you sell has to have an incredible return on investment! I still love my cameras, but I know early in my bowhunting career I passed numerous "good" bucks waiting for the 1-2 giants I had on camera. I think it hurt my...

When you take advantage of "work from home" and participate in meetings while on the four wheeler spraying your beans

Thanks for the replies guys. After thinking about it, I'm gonna plan to graft around 10 trees each year from my existing trees. Then I will add bareroots when I want new apple varieties i want to add to the mix.
