[QUOTE="Allen, post: 335377, 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.
