There was some kind of program in which you plant it in trees for so many years. Not sure the specs or money involved but a friend of mine did that with some of his land.

Hard to go wrong with Pines if it doesn't have to remain pasture. Pecans are fun but prone to disease. I grow hay on my 40 acres and it works out pretty well but you almost have to buy used equipment and be able to fix it yourself to make it work.

If it's not huntable:
-lease it to someone for cows to graze
-lease it for hay
-dig a big azz lake (sell the dirt) and have a private pond and gun/skeet range
*I have contacts in your area for all of the above

If it's huntable plant pines near the edges and hardwoods and fruit trees in the middle. Frick pecans-too much hassle. Pine trees aint paying much these days but could be a good return 12-15 yrs and again in 30-40.
