hey Jordan, great update...I'm looking forward to seeing things getting done on the projects you mentioned, and I'll definitely be watching all the videos. I can relate to much of the work that needs to be done because I live on an old farm with old outbuildings (barn, granary, coops) and I've put a lot of work into them - and a lot still needs to be done. What worked really worked well for me to straighten a racked granary was to use steel cables running diagonally across two outside walls at a time (top sill to bottom sill) and using turnbuckles to remove the racking. The cable ends were attached to heavy duty eyelets screwed into structure. My place is 44 acres and when I first got it, I thought it was a lot, but now that I've been here for 35 years, I think it isn't enough.
Looks like someone is going to be a busy chap in an exciting year ahead, I'm looking forward to it but please don't burn the candle at both ends . Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Your videos working on the older iron are the best of the best. My first car was a Falcon. I could watch your videos all day long. Thanks for sharing them and for preserving our history.
40acres makes your home a small farm will make the house more valuable as a investment. As you know self sufficiency is popular, an even if you never feel you need it , it is rare to get land so near bye. You have a family they might want to homestead , plus it gives you privacy . Good luck whatever you decide.👍🏴
Those are nor termites at 7:35, minute holes are caused by Powder Post beetles. They have attacked my log beam hay loft supports more than 65 years ago without affecting stability. This barn is more than 110 years old.
I am anxious to see corn planter video I have old john deere 2 row with corn and bean meters I use it to plant food plots for deer. As far as the land goes I would keep it and rent it out and maybe make enough $$$ to pay the taxes on it and keep it for a few years until you guys are 100% sure what you want to do because once it gone it's gone never rush into anything if your not sure at the time plus remember land value always goes up
What about some kind of share cropping arrangement with a local farmer? 60/40 split for expenses and crops. And, yes. keep the land. Maybe expand the haying operation.
@@HumbleAcres I had a house built in 1802 and it was full of them they even got into the furniture don't use any of that wood burn it where it is. THEY turn into fly's and spread I KNOW good luck.
I saw when you were putting your grapple on you had pressure on the hoses. Did you figure out how to release that pressure? If not, what do you need to do is hit the end of the connection with a hammer or push it down on a rock anything to push that button then That’ll be enough to release the pressure on the grapple that also works on the tractor or any other hydraulic hose. I’m sure that you figured that out by now.
@@HumbleAcres Since it is so close to the river, I bet that it is fertile soil, as well as easy access to water for irrigation. But good luck anyway 😊😊👍
You’re right, if you don’t get the land now, you probably never will. Being debt free is obviously nice, but I would focus more on the type of debt you have. If you have a low fixed rate mortgage you would be hard pressed to justify paying it off even if you sold that land that you inherit. I would keep the land that you inherit. You can always sell it later. If you cash out now, you can’t necessarily easily buy it back later.
@@HumbleAcres Jordan...the market I had in mind, would find Organic "'Field of Dreams" Rice from America's grain belt...and not be subject to U.S.certs., but be marketed and sold exclusively in small hand sewn bags to a select overseas market, and not be caught up in bulk rice production. It would command a hefty price, overseas, and batches of it would be shipped to Asia and the Indus region, and possibly the asiatic region. A one farmer/one field operation. Maybe sold through Amazon or some such. Idea comes from finding out that snack samples are available from around the world and shipped out monthly, iirc.
Y’all keep it they ant making no more land and you can rent it out it will at least pay for the taxes and if you want it in the future you will have it
Jordan got some good ideas and explanations for what is going to get done and if you get half of them done you would be better then me love your channel and you never expect the same each video it's a family thing with Cooper and your daughter and your wife sometimes it makes things great you have a beautiful family so keep the videos coming and content good I been watching forthe falcon the Ford 8n and you bring home the John Deere with no front tires cutting hay and work on the old implements all great stuff so I can't wait for next video.
You may not be aware, but land appreciates in value. During a severe Economic Recession, land value will plummet, but always bounces back and begins increasing in value. You are a long time from retirement, have no idea what your health or needs will be. Hold on & sell much later in life. Example: Late 60's owner approached me about purchasing some land from him for $ 12K, today 1/2 of that property with out improvements is worth $160K. I knew what land prices were for previous 40 years & there is no way of anticipating the appreciation value it rose to. Better think long & hard before selling.
Hi Jordan if you want my advice keep the land or you will regret it later that you didnt keep it. How much sweet corn are you planning to plant? You have great plans one step at a time. See you then.
Land is the most VALUABLE asset you can possibly have. The money sounds good now, but land is everything. Big corporations keep snatching it up for a reason. It is going to be worth SO MUCH MORE in the future. In 20 years, come back and thank me for this advice. Pay future you, not you right now.
I enjoy your videos, and look forward to the rebuild of the barn to make your shop. My opinion of keeping the land, I would keep it for now, and if you had to sell it later you could. If you sell it now, it would be expensive to purchase later, if you could.
Rent it out until you can farm it on your own. Once it's sold you won't get it back. There's probably wildlife around there so you can rent it out to hunt too.
I would recommend to keep the land for you and your family, children, grandchildren... :-) and what I understand it's especially valuable to have your own land nowadays.
I do understand the lure of additional land. I grew up on a farm of just a little over 100 acres. But I think the economic reality is that your family will be better off debt free. Just one man's opinion!
Land is the only investment that I know of that pays you twice. You can collect rent with minimal maintenance cost plus it appreciates faster than most other things. Mine has made me a living all my life and is worth over fifty times what I paid for it. I think you are being lowballed on the rent. Have you checked with your Farm Service Agency (FSA) to see if it would qualify for one of their Conservation or Wetland rental programs?
Speaking for myself, No way in hell would I sell that land. Once it is sold, who knows what will happen to that land, you could potentially be creating a nightmare scenario if you sell that land. Also, I am not sure that being debt free is as a big deal as it sounds, considering most people would be back in debt in the very near future again. Just my thoughts... Listen to the song "buy dirt" :)
Take the land and use it for collateral when you need it or pass it down to your own kids. Just renting it to the farmer is paying it forward. Debt free ha, sounds good but not a reality.
I would definitely hold on to the land if possible just to keep anyone from moving in there. One bad neighbor can ruin a neighborhood. The rent should more than pay the taxes on it
I'm alway excited to see what you do next. Looking forward to the new year.
Land is always a good investment !
....LOOKIN' GOOD, KEEP SAFE AND WELL...
You have a really nice farm. The family heritage you are privileged with is a blessing beyond measure. All the best to you and your family.
Thank you very much!
Looking forward to seeing the corn planting series. Hard decision on the land. Seek the Lord’s direction.

Glad you like them! Thanks!
My advice is to keep the land, rent it for a while or custom farm it. The rent will pay the taxes.
Projects...and decisions..decisions! Best of luck to you and your family. Look forward to what ever you are willing to share!
Thanks so much!
Keep it!

You and me both!
I enjoy your videos and the various things you do. Good luck with your projects!
Good luck with your major decision. I really enjoy watching you work on your projects. Keep it up.
Thank you very much!
I might consider holding the land as a retirement asset.

Good to know. Thanks
Jordan, go get that land! do it. You'll be kicking yourself later if you don't. The universe is presenting an opportunity for you - seize it.
Love watching your videos whatever you do 👍🙏
Awesome! Thank you!
Keep the land
We really enjoy following your channel. Looking forward to your projects and videos in the future!

That field is great for corn. Keep it :) :) Good luck :)
It did cross my mind to keep the field and plant it myself but we will see.

It actually sits in the floodplain

Many different options, thanks!
Really enjoying your show. How many flats did you have? When you push the barn down with your tractor? Just curious I hope not too many.
they dont make any more land and at the price you are getting it dont let it go
Yeah...I heard that land factory went "belly up!??"
If you sell the land you could end up with a subdivision next door.
Keep it and rent it out,then pass it on to your kids.
It won't ever be developed. It sits to low next to the river and in a flood plain.
Jordan..if it's low...wet..land...might consider growing organic rice?
@@mmurphy2317 I would need to do some research on that. Also not sure of the market for it around here.

I have thought the same thing. Probably not a lot of corn, but not sure how much yet.
@@mmurphy2317 No my advise is that he should keep the land. If he doesn't keep it he will regret it later.
