I bought an 80 acre parcel when I was around 30 yrs old . They were asking $24k for the 80 in NW Minnesota. At first I thought it was a typo… It was a 4 hour drive, but I bought it for 22k, and it had over 2k a year in CRP. I hunted up there a few times, the very first night I sat up there I...

I’d look at the land (80 ac) separate, it can be a whole different story . For example , does the 80 have crop land ? Example 50 acres x $200/acre rent … suddenly the income of $10,000 of year offsets some of the expenses! This is how I’ve bought, and I don’t shoot huge bucks like Skip, but...

Great idea on the scrape tree. I’m going to see if Kelly Tree Farm has a few potted I could reserve …

The episode where the family goes on vacation to Hawaii is a classic. Phil stays in the hotel room the entire day watching the Jason Bourne Marathon! He says “ Jason Bourne the ultimate Red Neck, you can’t kill him!” Fun show to watch !

If anyone sees a nursery/supplier offering Shingle Oak in the future… let me know . I saw Kelly Tree Farm had them, but basically potted taller extensive trees. I’d like to add 25-50 in one area .

:oops:I think the water level in our lake jumped 4-5 inches with some steady run off. That’s on an 8000 acre lake. Imagine that volume of water !‍

We had 2.5 inches in Minnesota, I’m hearing 3 inches in Western IA!

This was a soaker in most areas! Really good for the plots & trees… how much rain did you get ?

**15 years works well with trees, if your plan is to not doze em at the end . I just plan on permanent cover for my CRP tree plans.

You cannot possibly think Trump is one of the worst Presidents ever, we just came off Biden (he never did a thing, except hide) had 9% inflation, an open border, a second Russian invasion under his watch ? Crime was terrible, and he sided with the Criminals. He could not walk or talk, ride a...

He’s not trying for equal trade , he’s trying to offset the $$ that leaves the country to China & others. Mainly China !This will fix that. We want investment in the US, at least most Americans do & that’s happening now. The amount is up to $5-6 trillion in new commitments.

That’s a nice looking plot !!

What kind of trees were in that CRP plan ? How big are they ?

No doubt EHD had taken more deer than hunters have in my area of Western Iowa !

One year of no deer hunting !! I’m on board , since I’m only buying a point … :)
