Do they pay for the improvements on your farm along with the cash rent, or do you mean you cut the cash rent price when improvements are made by the tenant?

That can squeeze a lot of farmers since cash rent rates don't follow the commodity price trends. Most landowners aren't going to start taking less when the commodities halve in price.....

https://www.whitetailproperties.com/hunting-land/iowa/monroe/dream-big-with-the-iconic-winke-farm Built over 17 years through 9 purchases...Bill put in some work to get all that done!

Be interesting to see what the old Bill Winke farms sells for this time around....

I found them much more attractive by drilling holes in them to secure with zip ties like the rest of the tubes....while also getting a larger diameter tube out of the effort also. Still in use today on my place from over 10 years ago, where some of the rest have become brittle and are falling...

If it's all cash, there's no end in sight.

Using the $$$ as it was intended….. I’d like to know how much of that $$ didn’t go to the workers. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It’s just seems as if we’re about to this point in the market, but maybe there isn’t a ceiling to be had…. Are a majority of these farms being bought without a loan? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's why I gave it up personally. There's plenty of times they get out of the box searching. Some dogs will go a mile or 2 to get treed.

I've walked by deer bedded within 100 yards of treeing coon dogs. One time there was a gobbler in the same tree the dogs put a coon up in. A half mile isn't anything for most hounds to go. Granted I don't think coon dogs have near the same intrusion factor as coyote dogs do in the daytime if...

It's a "keeper" apple where it lasts after dropping till July. I'm not certain on the month that it drops.

This is going to be a fun one to watch in the coming years. Was able to secure some scions of this once thought extinct apple. I can't imagine an apple that's edible in December lasting till July.... It should make for a great late season food source...

Apps and books are a great place to start, but nothing works as well as boots on the ground applying that knowledge to learn the trees.

I've used parking lots where oak varieties are growing that I'm interested in. The acorns fall on the asphalt, and I sweep those up into buckets on heavy producing years. Another option I've used is to spray roundup around an oak tree in spring/summer to kill off the vegetation that I want to...

If that were my situation, I'd spray the MFR when it's blooming using a dye in the sprayer with roundup to confirm all plants have been treated. It's easy to miss some walking around the woods. I'd go hit the BH this spring with roundup when it has more vegetative growth than the natives...

What a project! As close to a blank slate as anyone can get today. Planting any shrubs/trees on the farm?

All those mentioned above including buttonbush. What I do for some of the better growing shrubs of each species is an exclusion cage so they can produce seeds for birds to carry out to other areas of the farm.

The IA and MO state nurseries are both great for native shrubs/trees. Best part about the IA nursery is they will fall ship seedlings to plant before winter.

Kinda hard to tell, but all those trees holding leaves are shingle oaks in the background.... Could spend days out there trying to remove all of them that size/age. They're great to cut and leave as a stump sprout for browsing. Elm and shingle are two of my favorites for that.

I have piles of those growing unprotected. There's a ton I'll be cutting this winter to allow for some white oak varieties to flourish growing in between all the single oaks that regenerated. For every swamp white oak I have coming up, there's a good 10-15 shingle oaks the same age.
