I saw that the other day. Pretty awesome but the majority of the land will be pasture for animals.Raw Dawgin' it;1474593 wrote:With that much land you should buy this to cut your grass.

I watched the Italian giallo Twitch of the Death Nerve last night and it displays a very effective method for handling the passing of land from one person to the next.ernest_t_bass;1474591 wrote:Then talk to your uncle about it. This is a serious life change you're looking for. Hell give your uncle a cut, or something like that. I seriously think you should look into it as your first option, until you get a definite "no."
When that happens, there are always hitmen...

This way of living, possibly. The notion of creating a "job" as opposed to finding a job? It's the future for a growing number of the population whether they want it to be that way or not.Sonofanump;1474548 wrote:No way. A small minority might adopt this to sustain and avoid the government. The majority if Americans will continue either work for the man or collect welfare until all of the producers leave and join Dagny Taggart in Galt's Gulch.

Not sure that's a bad thing....$&%^ty day at the office, had to fire someone today. Long story, and the guy deserved it but it still sucked. I wouldn't mind creating my own job when I don't have to deal with stuff like this....at least when you milk a cow you don't have to apologize to her.queencitybuckeye;1474622 wrote:This way of living, possibly.

Good or bad, it just is. That's the (sorry in advance) paradigm shift we'll all have to get used to. Entrepreneurship is going to go in growing part from something someone wants to do to a have-to to survive.Manhattan Buckeye;1474623 wrote:Not sure that's a bad thing....
Sorry about your day, having to fire someone, no matter how derseved, indeed sucks.

Yeah, that's the likely deal going forward. It has been absolutely awful for me this afternoon and I'm probably a bit too upset about it...but I looked at the websites of the two major firms I worked at and there isn't a single person who I worked with that is still employed in the department. It seems like everyone I know has had 3 jobs in the last 6 years, and even the people that are successful are struggling.

Not sure how far away you want to get from Cincy but I teach in Highland Co about 30-40 min from Cincy and the whole western and northern part of the county is farm after farm and of all different sizes. These are very nice farms and most of them are quite well off and successful. Good people.

I know 2 very well to do farmers with shit tons of land and could offer the world of advice.....if you like I'm sure they'd be willing to talk or assist in any way.

Yea, this area is full of large successful farms. I know farming is the largest industry in Ross County.

120+ acres seems like a lot for what you are wanting to do. I understand you want grass fed beef (that' a whole different topic), but seems like the 50 acres would suffice for a homesteader (and I question if you really need that much).

It might be more than I would need but it's something I am used to working. Here is a rough outline of the property. As you can see more than half of it is wooded. I definitely want a portion of my property to be wooded for hunting, firewood, and potentially, as my grandma has had done a few times recently, logging.WebFire;1474678 wrote:120+ acres seems like a lot for what you are wanting to do.

Gotchya. With that much wooded, that number makes more sense.justincredible;1474683 wrote:It might be more than I would need but it's something I am used to working.

If you're serious about this the best spot would probably be farm land up in NW Ohio

I have 150 acres, with large barns, fertile land, and a lot of wooded area, loaded with deer, bear, and wild hogs. Guess you're missing out.justincredible;1474726 wrote:I'd rather not.
