Congratulations Denny. Permission is always the smarter way to go. Maybe does mean yes!
What did you get, crop or pasture land?
Tied most of my uncle's place together. I had origionally bought 320 acres 2 years ago of 400 on the south side of the gravel road. My cousin had sold the furthest west 40 to a guy and he never made a payment so I ended up with that and then the furthest southeast 40 acres.It's a correction section so it's 1 1/4 miles long and I was missing a corner on each end so it's squared up again. Then the last 40 is across the gravel on the far ne 1/4. to the north.
Northwest 40 acres is about 10 acres hayland rest open pasture with a mobile home,older corrals,and a 5 acre grove of mature white oaks which will have my new house in it in the next 5 to 10 years.
SE 40 acres is mixed open and wooded pasture with a gravel pit.
Ne 40 acres across road is 10 acres hay land 30 acres open pasture which is where we normally run our yearling heifers it will handle 30 heifers for 5 months easy.
With a 160 more acres I lease touching this it makes 600 acres in one chunk which for my country is a big piece of ground under one management.It will run a 100 cows suppleying pasture and hay year round without fertilizer as thats what my uncle did for over 25 years I'm planing on some fertilizer to bump up some production.
Most all of my other land I own or lease is with in walking distance for cows with 4 miles away being the farthest. Other than one farm thats 9 miles away but thats a smaller pasture and only handles 25 pairs which is 2 loads in the spring and on my way to my house.
