Post subject: | What to do with 50 unused acres |
I'm not sure what I will be doing with 50 acres of land. It could sit unused for the next 5 years. Should I plant grass or something similar? It was previously farmed, don't know what crop. Has been disked recently. I have no idea if it will be farmed again or ranched. Land is located between Corpus and Brownsville, not far from the coast. Thank you in advance. |

Perhaps boarding horses? Could build a barn or give someone a few months of their rent free for building a barn. Or leasing to have cattle run on it. My folks have some acreage they don't really use. They let a local guy run cows on it and in trade they get a half a cow every year. Not to mention ag. exemption helps a lot on taxes & doesn't require many head.

The land is basically plowed dirt. I'm thinking I should plant something to keep the topsoil from blowing away. Plus, I'd like to prep the land for any future usage. BTW, I went to your website, very nice! |

Thanks. Good luck with the planting. Hopefully someone will make crop suggestions. Perhaps a green manure crop that would be easy to plow or till in later. Justin |

Stop plowing it and stuff will grow. Then let someone else run goats on it. |
