[QUOTE="KANSAS, post: 368023, member: 1362"] Now the reason why I want to do something with this place. -The land is where I grew up and I have fond memories of the place. Over the past 15 years the farm has been leased to a cattleman that overgrazed, didnt care for the fences or fields. Never sprayed, rarely fertilized. All in all a pretty crappy leasee. What used to be 30 acre pastures are now more like 20 with brush and cedar trees all over the place. What once were steel gates are now makeshift barbed wire gates. Anyway.. I convinced my folks to get rid of the rentor and that I would take care of getting the place back to what it once was. Fences are good as he was forced to fix them 2.5 years ago. All I am trying to do is re-coup some of the costs it will take me to get the place back in shape. I plan on spraying and fertilizing as well as cleaning up everytime I am down there. Believe it or not I actually enjoy the clean up part as it gets me back to were I grew up. I run other cattle on a percentage basis with a gentleman about 12 miles north of this property, but he has enough land for about 200 head and right now we only have about 70 between us so I know he wouldnt be interested. Haying is not really an option due to rocks/boulders everywhere. At best and with alot of work, I could get maybe 40 contiguous acres into hay ground. What approximately could that produce annually?
