I’d have to look. Mine is smaller, I would recommend a bigger model than I have . The 220 Stihl looks interesting.

I’ve definitely used loans (paid principal & interest) for several years in farms . In my case the income had paid a good portion of the payments. Not a full cash flow, but close. Meanwhile it has appreciated…

My area in Western IA has a lot of turkeys . We usually limit out first morning. It’s loaded . Now Minnesota, the birds are definitely down … (Iowa pic)

I have a Stihl electric saw and it’s great for small projects . Just did a bunch this weekend in Iowa & Missouri. The only drawback is the batteries last maybe 2 hours max . It’s a good light option for small stuff.

I checked the big board and my land says still valuable!!;)

Both sides in Minnesota

Unless he’s shooting the best genetic buck on the farm …I do not see a big issue .

The cold hard fact is the more buck tags available, the less likely a hunter/landowner will let others on his farm . There’s always a chance the buck tag gets filled, & the landowner says “yeah I’m done” you can hunt late season or second season? Just a thought that gets overlooked!

If I were to pick the best rules create the chance for bucks to survive & to make hunting accessible & successful for both gun & archery hunters … 1. The gun season would be after November 24 2. Two gun seasons-like Iowa-you choose one of the 2 seasons. This would help with access . 3. 1...

This market is odd. I’ve seen some farms sell very high, and then I’ve seen a few sit on the market and maybe even go below market ? There might be some buyers taking a break until they know what the future looks like with commodities/CRP/timber value etc…

I have to cage every pine I plant ! Spruce in most cases… . I left one 18 inch pine without a cage in Iowa and it was about 3/4 inch high by spring !

If your land qualifies for WRP, or the official term is WRE … you can get $5000 per acre or more , paid to you. Lump sum . Those acres can never be farmed & have further restrictions. Mostly crop land that floods or was a wetland/tiled. —30 year easements & permanent easements!

Not a home , or structure … I found out the prior owner did leave 2.8 acres out of the easement to build a structure … So that does help .

Can you expand on this ? Whats the next step ? Just get them in ground right away … What size do you pull ?

I would have never guessed that WRP would ever sell for 5000 acre ? Keep in mind the current owner probably received 5-7k in WRP easement money ? He’s gonna make bank !!

I personally do not buy those farms .. unless they are just dirt cheap . I like income on my farms (crop or CRP). Then I can justify it to my wife (as an investment)!!;)

In this case I think it is a USFW easement. You cannot plant any crop, minimal food plots, can’t build on it … Pasture only , maybe some cutting of hay after August 1. The land sold after the auction… guessing around $2000/acre .

A 360 acre parcel with a wildlife easement (pasture only.. limited food plots)was on auction today in Minnesota. Nice property, solid duck/goose, good whitetail farm . Mostly pasture with brush and cattail slough, some woods, rolling terrain . $1750 was the highest bid… no sale, reserve not met !

What is the key ? More food ?
