What to do with 120 acres of pasture.

Sell it and invest in index funds

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.

Look up hard pan if there was ever any cows there

How you feel about cutting hay?

High fence it into sections and start farming whitetails and exotics. My buddy does pretty well doing that.

If you have time to work it, there is a big demand for flight conditioned quail and pheasant...

Considered planting pecans but looking for other ideas besides cattle

Best thing to do with it. After about 10 years with Elliott's planted, they will start producing. Within 15 years, they will be making big bucks.

Of course, the first three years to have to take care of them. After that, they are on there own. And of course, you have to cut the grass once a year.

Put a bunch of trailers on it and get section 8 money from the gubment

Dig a ski lake big enough for a slalom course, sell all the back fill and charge people to come use your lake.


Or develop it and build a neighborhood a.k.a. ski community and make some real money.

Do you own it, lease it, family land? Are you only one that makes decisions for the property or have to get approval from others? Are you trying to come up with a way to service the debt? How much free time do you have to screw with the property? A lot of things factor into what to do with it. I have a few hundred acres in Wakefield north of St francisville and I screw around on it a little, not as much as I should, but don't owe anything on it so I basically just let it sit there and grow grass. As kids get older I will get back into planting my big food plots for them to deer hunt, just not that mad at the deer any more.
