You nailed it... it's the difference of value without easement vs with easement. That is determined by an appraisal. Each parcel is different. But I typically see them range from $1200 to $4500 / ac. No one will know the value until the appraisal is done. That is done at no cost to you, once...

Your correct ALE is a great option. Just need that eligible partner to sponsor the project. That is most common holdup that I run into when folks are looking to apply.

As mentioned before, up till a few tears ago TN was amazing. But not any longer. The pressure in tn is pretty heavy on public. The season start dates have been pushed to mid April. We'll over 80% of harvest occurs in first 16 days of season. It gets hot and very green down here by May. Birds...

https://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/ Don't try from phone. Use a computer. Zoom to your property. Define area. Run reports. https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/conservation-basics/natural-resource-concerns/soils/getting-started-with-web-soil-survey There is a decent help section. You can see lots...

Consider using web soil survey to see what species are tolerant to your soil types.

I am a NR....and I agree with skip.

Where was this 6 months ago... I sold mine to soil and water conservation board. Call around to the swcd boards and maybe get lucky.

Keep an eye out for a jd 7100. It's the same planter set up from factory as 3pt. I am sure there are plenty of pics online.

That is a deer to be proud of, for sure. Congrats
