Great idea to use google maps to post a picture of the actual property. Here are two.
The first one is somewhat the same aspect as the terrible drawing I made. The pasture (currently in CRP) is good fertile ground, hardly a rock to find. It crowns in the middle and has a slight drop on each side towards the woods. Probably a 6-8 foot drop. Just enough to drain well. Like I said, once you hit the woods it drops off very quickly. Those trails you see are deer highways. It is a deer hunters paradise. they make beds 15 foot across in the crp ground.
This second one is a bit farther out. This one shows the additional land I would like to purchase on the northwest corner of mine. There is actually about 200 acres for sale all together. I am most interested in the 10-20 acres attached to my property that includes the small pond. the ground you can see that is farmed has been in soybeans and corn alternating years. Adding 10-20 acres of this farmland would really allow me to increase to a better size herd, but asking price is $9500/acre.
These pictures also show the shared gravel drive on the west side of the property.
I will call NRCS today if anyone is there Kenny. Thanks so much for the info. By the way, the cave is in the woods between the thumb and finger. Drops down into a sinkhole probably 30 feet down with a cave at the bottom. I would like to find a cave guy to go down into it. I personally have no interest. It goes straight down.
