Really curious to see what everyone else is doing here...
I'm showing farm income from a herd of meat goats. The goats get hung in fences, they die, coyotes eat them, and they're a pain if we want to go out of town on vacation or a prolonged hunting trip. I grew up raising cattle and goats, but although I like livestock, long term I'd prefer to not have livestock.
I want to show farm income though, as it allows land improvements, food plot expenses, and machinery to be used as a tax deduction, plus mileage, fuel, etc, etc.
So what is everyones strategy here? Some options I'm interested in:
Don't know what to plan for over the long haul.

So what is everyones strategy here? Some options I'm interested in:
- NRCS / CRP / Government Programs (don't know anywhere near enough about this)
- Orchards - I've got some fruit trees already, want more plus chestnuts, anyone selling fruit or nuts to show farm income? Don't know how much trouble this would be
- Land rent - my Dad is currently doing this with part of the farm, but I'd rather convert soybean ground into NWSG and wildflowers.....
