[QUOTE="RDFF, post: 1797676, member: 39018"] Yes, this is exactly right. Greg isn't LOOKING for land that's a long ways away from his core operation... he doesn't want to have to haul the cattle from one place to the next (but as stated, he IS willing to run them down the gravel road a fair distance, if that's possible). He's fortunate that in his area (context), there's a fair number of "investor landowners" with "some rough ground" with hayfields/crop fields between the trees, and they've seen what he can do with a piece of ground, and appreciate his work and local reptutation, so they're willing to work with him, sometimes for free! Not alot of us that can say the same for our "context", even if we DID have years of experience and a solid reputation for what we're doing. If Greg was going to have to pay "cropland prices" for the land he's grazing, I suspect he'd turn it down flat... although he also would probably try to make the case for what his improvements might be worth to a landowner if they'd be willing to reduce that rental fee so he could make it work.
