Long-term goal or vision for land
I want to continue farming 60 acres for hay. Leaves 25-30 acres for another crop, something to keep rotating with the hay. 20-25 acres of fenced, treed pasture is underutilized and in need of improvement. Land along with pasture allows for more diversity and options.
