Message: <blockquote data-quote="Allen" data-source="post: 335377" data-attributes="member: 389">Welcome to land ownership!  It's rewarding in many ways, financial for us outdoorsy types...not so much.Anyway, if I owned a parcel as you have laying in front of you:1.  That yellow stripe, I'd plant it in 3 rows.  A row of brushy type cover caragana (or something similar), a row of conifers (most likely a spruce variety), and another row of something brushy (lots of things out there, but I'm looking for bird food and wind/snow protection).  2.  Combine the corn/beans/wheat field into one.  3. The alfalfa, you can either rent it out along with the other cropland to offset cost of ownership, or convert it to cropland.  It would be a good offset crop type to that in the northern part of the property.  Nonetheless, I'd probably try to establish a more native parcel of about 15-20% of that piece.  That would be the bird nesting and cover for upland pursuit.  4. Basically I would try really hard to establish habitat in-between the acres I'd want to rent out for income.- - - Updated - - -p.s. At one point I really liked cedars.  Now, not so damn much.  Cedars are a host of Cedar-Apple Rust.  So it may be a problem for some varieties of apples, but it is the death knell to any Juneberry production within at least half of a mile.  Cedar-Apple Rust really effs up the berries. And I like Juneberries.- - - Updated - - -Go with junipers.- - - Updated - - -Oh yeah, and I would specifically put in any rental agreement on the cropland that no Dicamba is to be used.  That shit is really harsh on everything you are seeking to establish.</blockquote>
