The cost per acre has passed the ridiculous point. Paper company land in Butler county is leasing for 16 dollars an acre, which is hilarious. I’ve learned to not get attached to a piece of property and I’m dang sure not spending much of my time and hard earned money improving a timber companies land. All the work days and all that jazz,,, piss on that. I’ll cut a few limbs out of the road and buy some seed, but no way I’d rent equipment to fix roads and clean up brush piles for the paper company after already paying them 2 mortgage payments just to have a key to get in the gate. I’ve seen people get burned after spending thousands of dollars fixing up a paper company lease. Once that moneys spent if you can’t get on the property you get a net zero return on that “”investment “”.
