The Hourglass of Summer


5:55 AM – June 26, 2017

Today is Monday and I am glad to see it. “I have never seen one like this before” someone once wrote. (I will let you Google who wrote that!) The weekends of boating and beach with children, chicken, crabs and the long Summer photoperiod are catching up to me. Kidding! But for the eight of you reading this, that is my attempt at humor this morning. Sunrise was at 5:41 this morning, so we are about 20 minutes into the day. As you know, our days are now getting shorter as the Summer Solstice was last week and we enjoyed the longest day of the year. I regret missing the opportunity to participate in any celebration of the day or partake in any pagan chants around a bonfire (second attempt at humor).

I think in retrospect, I did quietly acknowledge the day in taking a few minutes to inspect the sunflowers and crops growing on the farm that evening. The sunflowers are really leafing out now and are approximately two inches tall. I am crossing my fingers that the deer herd will let them grow and flower. I was most surprised to see how high the corn had grown in only a few days since seeing it. There are thousands of ways to mark time and corn seems to be a very good way to mark Summer. I recently heard a friend say, “Corn is like the hourglass of Summer”. I thought it was an idea worth sharing and I agree that it is a good measure of Summertime, as these weeks of sun and fun do seem to disappear in a blink. Now, as the corn plants are starting to rise over our Eastern Shore farms we can only ask for a strong yield and good conditions to harvest later this Summer when the hourglass has emptied. 

Have a Wonderful Summer! Be Well!

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.

An experienced land broker will assist you in addressing these questions and more, as you enter the land market.
