[QUOTE="SouthOz, post: 131162, member: 2514"] Happy to help Wannabe. When I say Im down the road - Im about 50km down the road which is close relative to say Utah -but the specific place your looking at is outside my local sphere of knowledge. So cant help there sorry. Tasmanian Bluegum lots are springing up around the place but from what I know of them they don't make you a millionnaire quickly either - maybe a crop rotation in 10 years - need good fairly flat land - the companies tend to like larger places 100 acres+ to make it all viable. Higher returns can be achieved from trees for furniture where the tree needs a lot of work so there is higher value adding - but you need a bit a expertise in pruning etc. Your desire to make a few bucks from a bit dirt is shared by many - and for some has been transmiited genetically across generations. Which reminds of a joke I heard many moons ago. Little Johnny is enrolling in agricultural school and the course advisor asks him why he wants to get into agriculture. Johnny replies that he has a dream of making a million dollars from farming like his father. The course advisor is very impressed and asks how his father made his million. Oh no says Johnny he went broke but he had a dream of making a million. Good luck with it all - but dont mention too much on these boards what a great place it is around here - you could create a land rush of rich American farmers and then we locals would'nt be able to afford to live here anymore. But then hang on we could all retire rich to the golf course having finally made money from cattle - so now I see your plan :) All the best SouthOz. [/QUOTE]
