Added 70 acres to the “Home Farm”

Posted on my projects thread but figured id stick it here too

Yesterday was BIG day. Sold the “North Farm” (80 acres in Macon County) and bought the adjacent timber farm to the home farm that has been the subject of this thread. Lots of work ahead as I make this my life’s work and build our home on the red circle tract, the highlighted farm is the CRP and the blue X farm is yesterday’s addition. I knew when I bought the crp farm 8/10/20 that I would want to have the neighboring farm to the west given the opportunity, but I had no idea it would come up so quickly.
Got really lucky it all worked out. Kudos to The Big Guy for answered prayers.

yes, abouthalf hardwoods and the other have varying stages of ERC growth. There are some monster cedars on several acres.

Congrats. Looking like you'll be able to get 'em coming to food in the evenings behind the future house, and backdoor them in the mornings as well coming back from it. Opens up a lot of possibilities!
