For the first time in two generations (at least) of my family a land transaction is set in motion where land won't be bought or sold for development and used only to raise kids right with an appreciation for what God gave us to steward. It's a lot harder to get into land than it is to get out of. The deal hasn't closed yet but I've already told my wife I want to be buried here. Is a long row to hoe and we're starting from scratch but we'll make it, and the kids will be better for it. I'm on cloud nine today and just had to share. Thanks guys

Congratulations on a wise move. Hope it meets all your expectations. Are you east river or west river?

Mb Great deer and pheasant potential as is, prairie chicken and sharptail too probably. Has one good sized shelter belt and a creek that runs through it with scattered trees along it. I have a buddy that found a huge WT shed this spring on the quarter south of ours. 30 acres currently farmed so with cropping history it'll go into CRP when eligible. The rest will be grazed to help make the payment. Plan to build a shop/house in the next year or two then build the big house in a few years hopefully. Going to manage it for wildlife but still do conservation grazing. Need to fix fences and put in some water improvements too but one step at a time.

Closed on it today finally.
Got a long way to go and a long row to hoe but we'll make it.
Starting from scratch means there's only one way to go right?
I'm on cloud nine
