I recently signed up with a Farm Link program to find more land to lease, their listing is sorted only by county and doesn't say what the town is unless you ask. A new listing came up for a coastal farm overlooking the bay in my county, I later found out it's just over an hour away. It's about 85 acres, I haven't measured the aerials yet, but that's what the ad said. They are looking for a long term lease. Normally that would be out of my range. One thing that somebody said that jogged an idea was that being on the coast they don't get the snow that I do. This may be an opportunity for some good winter grazing on stockpiled forage which means even less days feeding hay. I understand that cows can graze through snow, but they do have their limits. I haven't talked any further with the land owners other then possible interest. All the other coastal properties within my "range" are all developed, this is kind of in a fishing village. Let's hear your opinion and ideas with how this could work, or should stay away from.
