    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    Best case scenario: the ceiling (turnkey properties) is likely going up but the floor (undervalued properties) is staying the same. Jake Hofer on the Land Podcast has been talking quite a bit about this. The inefficiencies in the recreational land market are slowly but surely going to get...

    Northern Lights

    We drove 1.5 hours northwest of the Twin Cities and pretty much every gravel road had people stopped to view the Lights. It was really neat to see so many people taking it all in. This was my first time seeing them after trying half a dozen times this year.

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    I feel like hunting leases don't get enough attention for what they are doing to land prices. Jake on the Land Podcast has had a few guests on that have talked about the increase in cost of leases. I don't think the number of hunters have increased in the last few years, but there are...

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    Basically how they are leaning so heavily on Winke'isms and the history of that farm. I am sure that because they used so much footage from Midwest Whitetail's youtube channel, they bought the rights to the footage. Even though I am not in the market for buying or selling land, I still come...

    Hunting / recreation and timberland values in your location?

    I saw recently that Winke's original property is back on the market. I thought they had originally sold it and it was split up. They put together a cheesy youtube video and were even working in a few of Winke's expressions...

    Chestnut tree leaf issue

    The bleached leaves look like sun scald. I grown a few hundred trees from seed each winter and always harden mine off VERY gradually over the course of a 2-3 weeks. I first bring them outside and place them in a protected area that gets no direct sunlight for about 10-14 days. Then, I move them...

    CWD and EHD article. Which kills more deer?

    Thanks for posting this article. It is a great read. I have had the exact same thoughts about lack of carcasses in areas with higher CWD numbers. I don't think there is really anything new added to the conversation, but the way it is framed will be helpful for having more meaningful discussions...

    They continue to impress me

    It is interesting how that is pulling such a high price/acre. They have even dropped it $700/acre from the original listing price!

    Check out your county's assessor's office. You can also find this plat maps in the local library. Most of Missouri's can be found online, but they take some digging.

    They continue to impress me

    Anecdotally, this tracks with what we are seeing in our Northeast MO counties. Looking at old plat maps, the farm sizes haven't really changed much. I think our area is likely one of the more rural in the midwest, though. I am sure as you move closer to cities you will find more fragmentation...

    They continue to impress me

    Not to derail the conversation, but the only thing I would be nervous about other states copying from Iowa is the lack of non-resident tags for landowners. Admittedly, I'm sure you could add it to the list for what makes Iowa such a great state for deer hunting, but selfishly I wouldn't own land...

    Treestand Recommendations

    Yes. And there are two elastic bands and hooks that you can do to hold it up in place
