how about a Oklahoma,AR,MO,KS,TX,+IA GTG thread?

Cow and calf 6-7 acres!

What would rent be for ground like that?

 

[concretegrazer]

And they won’t believe it when it happens...

But the market MUST correct itself...

Mark lives so close to Ozark, his situation is truly unique..

Cuz some of it is prone to flood!!! Lol..

You'd have thought the last recession would have woke some of them up.

Took out one of those giant Siberian elms for a neighbor today.

So just how giant was it.

You'd have thought the last recession would have woke some of them up.

you would think fuel, eguipment, fertilizer and crop prices would wake some up. I don't see how any one could start from scratch.

Ain't cheap. That's for sure, my uncle still maintains the family farm somewhere between 5-6k acres now. Some of it owned most sharecropping. I know there are pushing out every fence row they can to farm every square inch so the can make the payments. Matter of fact I gotta take some saws down there in the next few weeks and get some trees cut out of the piles b4 they burn em.

Send me a invite in ya want. Picture over in the other thread shows a safety cap missing the Y that survived right where it is

While the experience just 10 years ago wasn't in my land price history, it's on the other track the same train uses IMHO

It would take a good job in town & a lot of luck.

And that is what is driving up land prices for farm ground .

I like your wedge.

 

[Hedgerow]

Neighbor thought it was too big to get with a saw..

Took a 28” bar from 4 directions and 2 wedges, but plop it went..

 

[Hedgerow]

I like your wedge.

The others weren’t thick enough..


Had to improvise....

Grassland runs from $30-70/ acre depending on care, water, stocking rate etc. Hard to rent cow grass. They all want to double stock and have em off grass and be done by end of July! Big feedlots rent up the Flint hills!

Time to get to splitting

 

[Cat 525]

Lots of ground is $50 to $70 / acre cash rent and lot of it share 1/3-2/3 or 2/5-3/5s.

Time to get to splitting

I ain’t splitting that *s-word..

He just wanted it on the ground.. Him and his boy both got an OWB, they’ll carve it up and dispose of the thing.

Amazing how solid it was all the way through.

 

[Cat 525]

Ain't hardly worth hauling home!

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Ain't hardly worth hauling home!

You aren't cold and out of wood

 

[Hedgerow]

Ain't hardly worth hauling home!

They will just chunk it up and burn it in the OWB’s.

Good end to a 100 year old tree planted in a yard that was impervious to Dutch elm disease..
They were crap trees, but did their job..
making marginal shade to homesteads and not dying in 20 years like the American elms that came before them.

Can't stand dealing with Siberian... Now, with the air tight EPA stove, mixing yellow pine and Hedge together actually makes the Hedge burn better by adding additional oxygen to the fire. Ain't hardly enough airflow to keep it from smothering out, when it gets down to coals otherwise.

Siberian will actually burn good.. it’s just gotta be dry.
I’d call it on par with a soft maple or similar.

Ugly assed trees.. but real common around here.
