What I Learned From a Farmer … Don’t Use Too Many Words …

What I Learned From a Farmer...Don't Use Too Many Words...

July 3, 2020

I am tapping away once again.  Today, I feel compelled to share, I remain positive in my mind set the sun will come across the land once more on July 4th as we celebrate our Nation’s independence.  No matter what we think or say today, I am confident that will happen.  To me, this is the gift we are all given in life.   We must work to make the best of each sunrise and to grow the best “crop” we can each year out of the conditions we are given.  Too much rain, too little rain, it is no matter,  we work with and make the best of what we face each year.  I have learned much from people that appreciate the land.  Land gives you grounding and what I believe is a longview of life.

I truly enjoy the people I work around because I learn much from their wisdom and unique perspectives.  Folks in the land & agricultural community tend to take this longview and only share opinions that are often well formulated and vetted in the root of the matter.  Perhaps this stems from the time they spend in solitude on a tractor, in a barn and tending to their daily duties.  They don’t often have a lot of folks to listen to them, so perhaps they find ways to reconcile their thoughts on issues in their own way quietly.

Clearly, a lot of us, (myself included talk only to figure stuff out for ourselves).  Today, there is a lot of talking.  We are often trying out our mind’s work on our neighbor sitting next to us, no matter if they want to hear it or not.  These poorly crafted thoughts lead in poor directions and create undesirable outcomes.  I think we would all benefit greatly if we took time to formulate our thoughts for ourselves in more deliberate ways.  I am certainly going to work towards this going forward after my recent discussion with a gentleman while he was steady running his planter.  This might result in more thoughtful and meaningful outcomes in all of the matters we work on and discuss each day. 

My intent in sharing this thought is simply to offer an optimistic view regarding the matters of day.  Our world has faced great challenges before and I remain confident in myself and my neighbor to manage these challenges and make good decisions.  Perhaps by talking less and thinking more deliberately better outcomes will occur.  Maybe we all need more tractor time, beach time, time in the woods, or simply time on the park bench. 

I have spent that last few days feeling compelled to share this thought.  I hope it finds you well and able to find your place for your own time. 

“Use Less words” is not what the man said, it was what he did not say and his actions that has stayed with me.  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.
