Taking Stock – A Winter Perspective

andrew-wyeth-watercolor

Over the past several Winters, I have learned to appreciate the order of Winter and what it hides. What I mean to say is, the landscape appears with greater contrast and definitive edge. The manner in which the switch grass outlines the cropland while winter wheat works to take hold is a clear example. A hardwood tree also provides stark contrast as their limbs appear against a clear Winter sky. The great complex of limbs seen in Winter provides us a better appreciation for the size of an Oak that we do not recognize during the busy growing season. The messy leaves on the trees and herb layer of a forest simply hide shape and edge.

I have found Winter walks to be a great opportunity to take stock around your farm and consider the management you wish to take with your land before Spring arrives and everything gets busy with growing. As Spring is rapidly approaching and the Winter winds lay down, it is a great time to take stock of your land and appreciate the simplicity and contrast of Winter. I hope you do.

I find it appropriate to share this quote from Andrew Wyeth, as he clearly celebrated Winter through his style of Realism and the art he created in the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania. Be Well.

“I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape–the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show. “
–Andrew Wyeth

NAVIGATING LAND ACQUISITION

BUYING DIRT BEGINS WITH UNDERSTANDING YOUR GOALS FOR THE LAND.  HERE ARE A FEW BASIC QUESTIONS.

First, what is your intended use of the land? Is hunting a priority, farming, or is it a place to build your dream getaway?

Second, is this an investment requiring annualized return or long-term financial planning?

Third, what is the geography of where you want to find this land? This is perhaps the most important factor…

Fourth, are you considering using a local bank or the regional farm credit system to assist you in the acquisition?

Fifth, do you have a handle on land values? Local list services and land websites do little to assist you in understanding basic dirt value absent of improvements. The Land Group specializes in understanding this marketplace. Join LANDLINK on TheLandGroup.com to learn how we can provide you recent sales data, free of charge, throughout your land search.
