When he plant soybeans you'll kill bigger deer and see more deer in anytime and the good part is you'll have 60 Acres of soybeans that you got paid for when he plants cotton you'll be SOL Id designate a couple Lanes on the edges of the fields to plant for the deer for those years but let him keep farming it

Apparently did peanuts last year, next year is cotton I believe. The cotton years I'm not a fan of in terms of deer attraction. I would have a couple of lanes on the edges regardless, but for a lot of the fields, the edges are also the property lines.

I love how folks think cotton is bad for deer. Deer eat the piss out of cotton. Have him mow lanes in the stalks after he picks but get up high. Deer love using standing cotton stalks for cover. Sounds like you found a jam up place really.

Leave the ag alone. May be better off turning the other 60 into ag also

Looking at a piece of property that's roughly 120 acres of which 60 is currently in Ag fields. The rest of it is mostly hardwood/pine natural regrowth, more on the hardwood side. In talking with the listing agent, I was asking about the Ag fields and how I would be using it for hunting primarily and not sure if I would want to keep it that way. There is a farmer that has been leasing it forever that does the standard rotation on the fields. It is still a very huntable piece of property with the fields there. So my question is, would you keep it in Ag fields and let the farmer keep farming on it or would you carve out some plots and have pines planted over the 60 acres? I would let him farm it for free, and ask him, in return to plant you a few acres of corn and soybeans just for the deer.
My opinions and comments are my own. They do not reflect the position or political opinions of Aldeer or any of the Aldeer administration.

No sense in buying the standing crop just negotiate on the rent. Which is buying in a sense of the word. Plenty ways to get creative here

Not necessarily true. There is a local farmer here that is buying up land left and right in planted pines, clear cutting it, and converting it back to farm land.

Can be done. But it's not cheap. He'll be into that ground for $2k in just cleaning cost. That's before lime and fert and gonna be years before it's up to par on yield. Today's Ag economy doesn't bode well to be doing a lot of that but that can change I hope
