    This could be good or be very very bad...explains why no crop went in. We can't figure out who bought it yet, personally I'm praying another farm. I'm thinking farm leasing it did not get it... OH boy they just spent several years making it plantable with drain systems and lots of soil work. The other could be a local chicken farm. Which means a switch to grain corn not silage.
    It also could change the hunting. Either out of staters will be allowed or forced to lease or I'll have to deal with a whole new group. Which means a redo of all the posted signs again.

    Hope everything works out. Over 40+ years, our county has lost a lot of acreage to development, eliminating prime hunting land.

    I'm not too worried about developement. We have been having " land wars" between the local farms. We have several big farms in the area dairy,chicken,beef, and crop

    Well talked to farm leasing it. Nope they didn't and won't be buying it. Apparently none of the land has sold yet, there will be winter ceop put in later this week or next. So things are up in the air as of now.

    So apparently the home stead and it's surrounding 150 in on the market, 365 thousand. But the farm land here is still under lease.
    I feel bad for the farmer. He just put in alfalfa on the home stead lease last year. He came up and sprayed RR next door last night. He wasn't a mile down the road when it rained. There was no rain in forcast. He came back this afternoon and sprayed again. He wasn't out of the field when the sky's went dark grey...no rain yet though .
    Looks like theyll go with a Sept 15 date,or there abouts.
