Personally I don't see a 40-50% hair cut to the prime land market coming. Here's why. Their are to many people with to much money waiting on the sidelines. 20k land currently isn't going to 8-10k it isn't going to happen. Will it sluff off? I think it will but not 50%. Now Rec land and land...

I believe current interest rates have made the current real estate market come down. I think we re seeing it already in some Highly tillable land sales. Instead of 16-20. It's still bringing 12-15. Which is a reduction. Not a huge reduction but a reduction none the less. (Yes there is going to...

To me it's become a competition on who can put the biggest antlers or their wall, and who's the "best" hunter. Everyone trying to prove something that I'm better than the next guy. I come from a long line of hunters, my grandpas Dad and his dad before him were all better hunters than I. I have...

We were very blessed and thankful to receive 1.3-1.4 inches of rain in NEIA yesterday afternoon. It won't solve our drought problems as we ve had a very dry May-June. But should get the corn to tassel, without much subsoil moisture, going to need another rain shortly after tassel to keep the...

Silver Maples will be the trees of value. Ranging from 18-30 inches in diameter. We will be doing a conservative cut of mature trees. I'd say 80% of them are in the east side. Im not 100% how many there are, he give me a rough estimate on the value. My idea was build a temporary crossing...
